block tvdb

is there a way to stop emby from getting metadata from tvdb? i have the full first season of star wars rebels and the way they have the episodes listed is wrong and so they are not showing up correctly

yes there is nothing there for tvdb to disable or block it

Have you tried unchecking the box in the pic?

Change media type to "Episodes", should come up then

Use the Customize for Media type drop down.

It's pulling new data from tvdb, or are you looking at old data it already pulled down.  Changing that won't delete anything it already pulled down from before.  If it is then I don't know

Also, who are you going to get your metadata from if not tvdb?  I don't see another option for episodes.  I would just lock the metadata for Rebels so tvdb doesn't update it if that's the only episode you're having issues with.

tmdb and imdb both have it and have it correctly and yes i delete everything except the episodes from the folder and then go to metadata manager and do an update and it still pulls info from tvdb

Check the settings under the other media types also (Series, Seasons, etc) for anything tvdb related.  Maybe it's one of those.  For episodes I'm only seeing the one option.

If all it's pulling is a TVDB ID that doesn't necessarily mean it's pulling data from TVDB.  Movies get the IMDB ID populated from TMDB data for example.

But OPs issue is the episode are in a different order on TVDB then IMDB and TMDB.

Modify that one season and lock it in the manager so Emby doesn't update

Go to the metadata manager (from the Hamburger menu), then navigate to the season or episode you're interested in.

 

With that item selected you can then edit details in the right hand panel, and edit images by clicking the "Edit Images" button - use magnifier button to download images.
