no tmdb id for director and crews on tv shows

[Gyvari 0]

i just realized that on tv shows library, director and crews not picking up tmdb id, is it intended like that? i have to identify manually each one and it's a lot of work. movies library is good though, all actor and crews tmdb id is always filled.

Have you set tmdb to be the primary metadata provider for TV?  It's not the default setting.

yeah, of course. the cast is working fine, only director, writer, etc not picking up tmdb id.

 

but for movies library all cast & crews is getting tmdb id.

Hi, try refreshing the metadata on the series and see if that helps.

unfortunately, that's not working, this is director for some episodes and when i click it's still blank just the name.

to get image and bio, it's not populated because it's not have tmdb id, all crew like director and writer not picking up tmdb id when scanning on tv show library, actor is working fine though they pick up tmdb id.

OK, that's not what I asked. Try refreshing the metadata on one of these series and then see how things compare.

Also what metadata fetchers are enabled on the library and in what order?
