Movie mistagged

[bjhille 3]

I am in the process of evaluating Emby as a replacement to Plex.  I won't get into the reasons why...

 

I have all my movies tagged with a program called "ViMediaManager" for use on my mac.  I had Plex only look to local metadata and it worked fine.  In playing with Emby, I let it download metadata for the movies I have included in the Emby library.  One movie, "Alien" was correctly tagged and pictures downloaded, but it's all in Spanish.  All other movies came out fine.  How do I correct this and download the metadata in English?  The folder and filename is correct (I think): "Alien (1979)" and "Alien (1979).m4v"

 

Thanks.  Brian

edit the metadata in the metadata manager and point it to the proper imdb id

The ID in the nfo is:

<imdbid>tt0078748</imdbid>

 

If I pull that up in IMDB, it's in English.  Is there a different ID I need to be looking at?

 

Thanks.  Brian

Does the nfo have a tag?

[bjhille 3]

The original NFO that was used had:

  <language code="en">English</language>
  <language code="es">Español</language>

 

Everything imported into Emby okay.  When I allowed it to get updated information from the Internet, now the NFO file only has:

  <language>Español</language>

 

So, I'm guessing that's the issue.  Good call.  As I'm still learning Emby, how do I correct it now?  Just edit the NFO, and change it to English and let it redownload?  Is there a "Plex Dance" I need to do?

 

Thanks for the help.

We use the tag as a language setting for metadata. The easiest way to correct this is inside Emby. Just edit the metadata for that item, scroll down to the bottom, edit the language, then save.

 

Then refresh the metadata. that should do it.

Thank you so much!  I really am impressed with what Emby can do for me versus Plex.
