[Q] Does VOD Media Prioritize Over Movie Library?

[FlameRed 6]

Actually I have two questions. I hope this is the correct place for them.

The first is does Live TV VOD media found prioritize over the same content in the actual Emby Movie Library?

I have a question about Emby. I manually put a movie in the Emby Movie Library, as opposed to using Radarr, but it never showed up in the list of Movies available on Emby even though I tried doing multiple movie library refreshes. I tried then using Radarr, but Radarr stated the movie was present. The permissions of the movie folder in the Movie library appears like the others movies that show.

I think the problem as to do with that I also have IPTV configured on Emby with VOD. I discovered that if I search in Emby for the movie I manually added,  that the movie that is in the movie library, Emby comes up with a match in the Live TV VOD library instead. It is like Emby prioritizes movies that are in the Live TV VOD library, and ignores those that match that are in the Emby Movie Library? Can this behaviour be changed to prioritize the actual movie in the movie library over the same one in the VOD? This problem seems to be only present for movies added to the movie library after it became available with VOD. Movies that were in the Movie library before the VOD existed show as being in the Movit libary as they should.

Second question.

On live TV, when I try to record a Live TV series that is about to start a new season,  the search function seems to find in the VOD content the prior seasons of the show, and it of course is missing the new upcoming season. There does not appear to be a way to start a series recording of the new season, except if I happen to know what time and channel the show will be aired and add it via time, and channel etc. It does not seem to use the guide to find the upcoming season airing in a few days. 

Thanks in advance for any insight what I may be doing wrong.

Luke - thank for the quick reply. Yes, I would expect that if I searched for a specific movie, and it was present on VOD and in the media Movie Library,  I would expect to see both. But it seems for me that it only shows the VOD, and ignores if it also in the Movie Library. Let me try and gather some logs...
