Force episode metadata from IMDB


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with my Emby TV show library. The episode titles and metadata on TheTVDB differ from what's listed on IMDb and all other episode guides.

As a result, the metadata in Emby is incorrect as well. I've already tried manually identifying the show using the IMDb ID, but Emby keeps overwriting the data with the 'wrong' info from TheTVDB. Is there any way to force specific metadata?

Two things:

1. Nothing is ever scraped from IMDB (cost-prohibitive) 

2. You can't identify an episode, only complete TV show

So the answer to your questions is No. You can either find other provider (TMDB, TVMaze...) that maybe has metadata in the order that you prefer (or maybe TVDB does under DVD order) or insert metadata/artwork manually or make changes on TVDB yourself if item not locked.

Anyway, specific example would help for maybe finding a solution.
