Genre:Football Listed Under Movies in Homepage

Why is Emby classifying the BBC Sports programme "Match of the Day" as a movie?

 

It shows under Recordings, but also under Movies.

 

It's a recording of a LIVE Match of the Day, of a football (soccer) match at the Euro 2016 Championship.

Please advise.

 

Thanks.

It's probably how your guide provider has defined it in the guide metadata. Emby will follow whatever the guide provides.

I use Schedules Direct with my HDHomeRun and if that is what Emby uses for it's guide, then SD shows it as a football programme, not a movie, which means that Emby is mis-identifying it.

 

Luke?

This is the recording in the ATV app, under Latest Movies:

No indication that it is a movie.

 

Luke ? @@ebr ?

 

Thanks.

If it isn't a TV series, then it is probably defaulting to a movie for us since we don't have a category for sports programs.

[CBers 7452]

"Match of the Day" is a weekly TV series and these are LIVE versions due to the Euro 2016 Championship being played in France.

 

I'll add it to my TV library and see if Emby deals with it better.

See pic, don't think I have anything set to cause this.

I raised a similar post many moons ago.

So I guess it never got fixed.

[bungee91 133]

I see that now, and I think we got merged.

@@ebr given the previous explanation of no category for sports, and defaulting to a movie (commented on over a year ago), can it be modified to be:

 

movie = movie

tv series = tv series

everything else = not a movie?

Or why not just add a sports category?

Well let's think about it - does Emby library setup have a Sports category? No it doesn't, and it doesn't need one because sports can be accomplished already with either the movies content type, home videos, or unset. Any of those three would probably be fine. Recordings are just regular videos in your library like any other.

 

So taking that into consideration, if you want sports recordings to go to a different bucket, then under Live TV settings we might need a setting to configure the recording path for Sports programs.

Emby doesn't appear to work that way. I've got a unset library and items under there always end up under movies on the home screen. I'm not using live tv.

Right and I was trying to say that is by design. If the structure under the unset library matches the movies structure, then that would explain it. Although I said any of those three content type options would be fine, home videos is probably the best bet.
