3D Movie Scraping

[happpyg 20]

Hi All,

 

  I have recently moved from a shared MySQL Library to Emby, so much better!. 

 

  Everything is working fine except I cant get Emby to display artwork and scrape IMDB data etc for my 3D movies like it does for all over movies.  It all worked fine when I was using Kodi natively and it's scrapers and I have the movies named as per naming conventions (moviename.3d.sbs.mkv etc) however they only ever show up in Emby with a random frame from the movie and the original filename as the title - not the proper movie title.  See screenshot, middle.

 

  Emby does pick up the fact that it is 3D and sets the 3D type in the metadata but all other medadata is blank.

 

  I have looked around and according to other posts I am naming my files as per Embys conventions here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/3D%20videos but I must be missing something?

 

Thanks!

Have your tried "Identify" using the External Ids from the other version?

Thanks, yes, if I force identify with the IMDB ID or TMDB ID it will then update the metadata and display fine in Emby.  I was wondering why it didn't do this automatically though as if I drop the exact same 2D movie into my movie folder without the "3d.hsbs" tags Emby finds it and goes away and correctly identifies the movie and downloads artwork etc as expected.

 

Is Emby designed to use the "3d.hsbs" etc tags just to identify it as a 3D movie and what type (SBS/TAB etc) and then use the movie name pre the tags to identify the name of the movie?  I am not sure how this process works and what the difference is.

@@Luke there is an issue searching the name scheme.  I guess you would say it isn't parsed properly when searching so you get no results.

Thanks. This is resolved for the next release of Emby Server.

Thankyou!

Just be aware it won't rescan existing titles, so they will need manual refreshes unless you've taken care of them already. New content won't be affected by this issue any longer.

No problems, thanks Luke!  Is there a regular update/release schedule or do you have any idea when the next update is due for release?  No pressure, just new to Emby and not sure about this sort of thing yet.
