TV Show TVDB ID in .nfo doesn't import to Emby metadata and Emby downloads incorrect TVDB ID

[invader 17]

Hi there. I'm using Tinymediamanager to write .nfo's in the Kodi format in order to organise my library to be fairly cross compatible with applications.

 

I've come across the infamous issue of watching a show in DVD/production order vs Air date order. For Firefly and Batman: The Animated Series, I've opted for DVD order.

 

I can order by DVD order in Tinymedia manager and have the episode names, images and synopsis correct in Emby however I've noticed that the episode .nfo metadata field/s

 

<id>297999</id>

<uniqueid default="true" type="tvdb">297999</uniqueid>

 

Aren't extracted from the .nfo. This is important to me, as although the metadata and images are from the media folder that I've pre-downloaded, when it comes to scrobbling

in TRAKT, I've read that it scrobles from the ID which will mean the correct episodes will be scrobbled when I'm watching in DVD order and TRAKT lists them in Air date order.

 

Furthermore, when I refresh metadata, Emby does appear to download the TVDB ID's however they don't match the episode, they are in the Airdate order.

 

It may be a bug, because when I change Emby's setting for Firefly to DVD order and save, next time I go in it's changed back.

 

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated

Is that really a Kodi convention or is it specific to tmm?

You commented on them in this topic, and there is a Kodi link.
