IMDb rating is incorrect on Movies poster view

The IMDb rating is incorrect on Movies poster view.

For example, if I enable the IMDb rating on the web GUI then sort by IMDb rating - Adele: One Night Only should be 8.0 and not 9.4 ...

 

but The Shawkshank Redemption *seems* to be correct ...

 

 

... what's up?

What happens if you refresh the metadata on Adele?

[plittlefield 59]

Yes, fixed!

So, what do I need to do to fix them all?

(I thought it refreshed metadata each night)

Those ratings fluctuate based upon the votes received in real time. At that point in time more people were enjoying Adele. She was a 9.4. But as time progresses and more people becoming aware of this and have watched it they also leave their votes. Then it tends to get a downward swing usually. Where you can't be sure are these Adele haters out to influence the vote and trying to 1 star her to death. Like people do on Yelp/Google/Etc to restaurants that try to force people to tip. Especially the ones that confront them angrily when they don't, like the owner of Ari & Mia's Small Town Cafe found out. The internet is forever.

What I mean is you can never match IMDB exactly. Emby isn't parsing IMDB for data at all. There is no way to obtain data in real time. You can only get point in time for these.

I think the providers would be quite alarmed if that were so. They would see that as abusive more than likely. You keep hitting same endpoints with exact same items every single day?

I was thinking more of a monthly thing.

I have manually clicked the 'refresh metadata' on my whole Movie Library and watching the Electricity smart meter go wild

[speechles 2121]

Its not like the providers can't throttle or restrict/ration by IP. I meant if Emby were to programatically make it so that all our libraries were updating every single day auto"magically" without having to do anything. Where they (Emby) made the choice to hammer the provider, not the user (you). That would be seen as abusive. Not that you yourself a single person refresh your entire library is just a drop of water in an ocean of bandwidth. I meant this is why Emby isn't doing it. But once a month refresh them seems certainly doable.

We don’t get IMDb data directly due to cost. 
the rating you have on your server is not guaranteed to come from IMDb. We’re just labeling it as IMDb in the ui. 

but it’s really the rating that comes from your highest priority metadata fetcher in library settings.

[plittlefield 59]

Oh, that’s both interesting and surprising.

Perhaps my 2 example movies were fluke?!

[Luke 43219]

What is your highest priority metadata fetcher?
