Emby uses wrong artwork from TheMovieDB for episodes if DVD sort order is chosen

[hasown 3]

I have my Futurama collection renumbered to match the DVD order, and I reimported it into Emby and set Emby to use DVD order. I also have TheMovieDB set as the preferred artwork for episodes since they have higher quality artwork than TVDB. Emby is importing the artwork for the wrong episodes.

Example:

"Reincarnation" is S06E13 according to DVD order. When Emby imports TheMovieDB artwork, it uses the artwork for "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular", which is S06E13 according to the broadcast order.

Hi, I'm afraid this isn't going to be supported right now. You will need to select tvdb as your highest priority provider if you are customizing the display order for any of your series.

Either that or you can just manually fix up this one series.

I have created a separate library for DVD order TV series and will use that to fix relevant series. I was already using TVDB as the preferred provider for episode metadata, but I thought the broadcast order could still be referenced so TheMovieDB could be set as the preferred provider for episode images.

 

Can a bug/request be created to store the broadcast episode number along with the DVD number? It seems like that would solve this problem and the bug in the Trakt plugin in this thread.

Thanks.

This is still a bug in Emby Server 4.3.1.0 and Trakt plugin 3.4.2.0.

 

Reproduction:

1. Firefly TV series is added as a DVD order season in Emby. Season metadata is set to use TVDB.

2. In Emby, edit images for DVD episode 1x4: Shindig.

3. TVDB images are from the correct episode. TheMovieDb images are from broadcast episode 1x4: Jaynestown.

Only if you do not replace images and refresh metadata when you change orders as you initially get aired order.   As shifting order does not change initial image.

Ah yes that’s an interesting question if we should replace images or not when that is charged.
