Favorites unexpected behaviour

[1moment 2]

Hi there,

 

I have really enjoyed using Emby and the power the api gives me as well as the options offered with the lifetime license. I am in the process of working on a media deletion script where I intend to use favorites as a metric in my decision process. I have noticed a strange bug with favorites as follows:

 

When marking big bang theory entire series favorite through emby web interface and then checking favorites from dashboard both of these items are added as favorites (10295 and 18282). Removing either of those from favorites removes the other as well - they seem to be tied together. Adding/removing the louis ck item results in the same behavior. Checking metadata for both items shows louis ck with tmdb-id 80379 and big bang theory series with tvdb-id 80379. Seems to display favorites based on a matching tvdb/tmdb id disregarding the metadata provider as opposed to the emby-id that was favorited? Tested this by removing louis ck's tmdb-id, now when adding/removing big bang theory series to favorites louis ck does not get added/removed from favorites.

 

emby server version : 4.1.1.0 (docker on unraid)

 

emby-id : 10295

name : Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater

type : Movie

tmdb-link : https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/80379-louis-c-k-live-at-the-beacon-theater?language=en-US

tmdb-id : 80379

 

emby-id : 18282

name : The Big Bang Theory

type : Series

tvdb-link : https://www.thetvdb.com/series/the-big-bang-theory

tvdb-id : 80379

 

Log snippet of when I added big bang series as a favorite (debug logging was enabled and server restarted prior to this snippet)

There where no other lines that looked interesting to me surrounding this with either id (10295 or 18282)

 

Let me know what else I can provide - thanks for any help in advance!

Hi, i haven't seen this happen before but i can see how it would be possible. This is going to be a tricky one because it will likely require changes to the way we store the information, as well as a data upgrade. We'll look into this. Thanks.

Thank you, appreciate it and so will my storage space

Does your Louis C.K series have the tvdb id assigned to it?

Here is big bang:

 

 

 

here is louis ck when it gets added/removed from favorites with big bang:

 

 

here is louis ck when it does not get added/removed from favorites with big bang (my manual edit to remove tmdb-id)

 

 

Thanks!
