Missing Genres for movies

[hick 2]

I have ~900 movies, probably half have no genre, some have some but not all genres listed on moviedb.

Server Version 3.0.5115.35703

Here is to try #4 to post this...with external link to logs and image of genres, maybe it will work!

I installed genre cleaner after I noticed the issue as I wanted a way to find Marvel movies or DC movies.

xXx

Gangs of New York

Ghostbusters

The Grey

Hannibal

 

All seem to have all other metadata filled along with their external ID's to imdb and moviedb.

on my end xxx has all 2 of the genres there i do not have the other movies so i cant tell if that is working or not on those.

Do you have the Genre Cleaner plugin installed? Are the Genres spelled correctly on TMDB? Are the Genres allowed in the Genre Cleaner plugin?

I am not sure where MB gets its genres but themovieDB has 4 for it.

Yes 

Yes

Yes, with Genre cleaner was combine Sports and Sports Films and I also Add 3 (marvel movies, DC comics, and Dark Horse Comics.

 

Those 5 were just the first couple I randomly clicked on there are a ton more.  I have done a "Scan media library" but am not sure how to force it to rescan all metadata without deleting everything.

 

Edit-It appears something goofy happen, if I go into the editor and "refresh metadata" on a movie it picks them up.  So yeah I just need to know how to force that on all movies.

Edit #1523 - If I just click Movies I can refresh metadata, I will let this run and come back.

Go to: http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/edititemmetadata.html

 

Then select your "Media Folders" on the left and click on "Refresh Metadata". It will only update stuff that is missing in my experience. Repeat for each "Media Folder". Takes a couple of minutes each in my experience. You're mileage may vary depending on your connection.  If the genre is allowed it should be added to the movie.

Rescan metadata took hours but seems to have done the trick.  Maybe my internet died when I did the initial scan?
