PedroC1999 0 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 There is a film in my library that was misidentified. I have corrected it using the Identify function in the metadata manager and everything is fine. However, there are other Emby installs that run off of this single data source, would it be possible to add a file to the movie folder that will "correct" Emby and ensure it gets properly detected once refreshed and future installs will automatically find the correct movie? For example, a file with the IMDB ID. Many thanks, Pedro
Luke 42081 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Hi, have you enabled saving of nfo metadata to your local media folders? That would be the best way to do it.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Without a specific example. existing metadata is the only true way to have something identified the same way every time. Folder structure and naming have a play when blindly identifying a item.
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) The problem could be the imdb ID. Emby treats it as ttxxxxxxx while some of the new ones are ttxxxxxxxx ie 10 characters (new) instead of 9 (old and emby 'input mask') Edited December 31, 2019 by LongMan
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 For example tt10975992 (Mistletoe & Menorahs) is identified as tt1097599 (The Rubber Industry of the Amazon).
Luke 42081 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Hi, how are you determining that it was treated that way?
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I just added the movie to my library and it was mis-indentified. It seems strange that all the recent movies were wrong so I checked on imdb and realized that it was choosing the show with id equal to the first 9 digits.
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Try with these, tt10149756, tt11404430, tt10887846.
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 file name. eg Christmas Hotel (2019) tt10887846
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I think the problem is in the scanner. It is identified correctly from the meta data page if one enters it.
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) You Light up My Christmas (2019) tt10964516 Edited December 31, 2019 by LongMan
LongMan 113 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Twinkle All the Way (2019) tt10964168 Edited December 31, 2019 by LongMan
Luke 42081 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Ok yea this is already handled for the next release. Thanks.
Happy2Play 9782 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Yep Support parsing 8-digit Imdb Id's in nfo files
