Emby search by name not working

[PHPpro 3]

I am trying to manually identify a movie by name, but when I search It does not do anything. I pulled up the console and this is what I see

 I also tried searching from the server, but I get the same error

I have checked the logs and I see entries like this

Ok, the problem is that Emby Server has not detected the item as a movie, which means that the folder structure doesn't match the naming guidelines. Can you show us what the movie folder(s) look like?

 

Because it's not recognized as a movie, the identify function should not even be there and i will be resolving that.

what's the content type of the library?

movie

From what it looks like in the Metadata Manager none of your star wars movies are being recognized, you need to follow the naming convention, remove the digit and all the underscores.

Also not that it matter from EMBY but why are you in ALL CAPS its like you are yelling at yourself

Lets not get distracted by the other movies, they seem to have resolved themselves. Lets stay focused on the original issue. The Clone wars Box set is not being correctly recognized. and I have no way of forcing it to identify because the search is broken, and from the above reply they are going to remove the search, which I think is a bad idea.

 

How am I suppose to fix the movie when Emby incorrectly identifies it, or in my case, does not recognize it as a movie? Why not allow the user to force it?

 

Honestly I am on my last straw with Emby. I am ready to go back to using Kodi without Emby. Kodi would let me fix this, Kodi does not force transcoding down my throat, Kodi treats me like an adult, not like some child that cant be trusted to make decisions.

Point is you are trying to for lack of better word "hack" the system by not following the naming convention.

 

When if you have everything named correctly it would find the metadata information automatically and you don't have to manually search for each one.

 

Try renaming it to "Star Wars - The Clone Wars"  and see what it finds

The Clone Wars Box Set is a Series not a Movie, you can't identify a series that has be classified content type Movie.  You have a "Mixed" content environment.

As I said above, I am probably just going to dump Emby and go back to using Kodi. Way to much work to get Emby working correctly. Software like this is suppose to make my life easier, not harder.

You are making it too much work, if you follow the naming convention you don't need to do any work, it fetches the metadata automatically

[PHPpro 3]

I have over 700 movies and series in a "mixed environment" I am not going to rearrange my entire library just for emby. I already have nfo files for all of them. There should be no reason to rearrange them.

 

Emby should be flexable enough to work around my requirements, not the other way around.

[Happy2Play 9782]

Then why didn't you set the library to Unset (Mixed content) instead of Movie?

Good day,

 

Sorry to step in here regarding "flexable", in all my times using media arrangement software/hardware since the mid 80's, could not come cross a software as flexable as Emby server is , this a personal view based on using it.

 

My best

I agree, I have used many media systems, and EMBY is by far the best, and I predict it will be the number 1 choice in the next year or so.

 

If you setup your library the way EMBY supports the automation as far as metadata collection is amazing, prior to using EMBY I had to spend a lot of time managing my library, now it is completely automated.
