Permanent fix for wrong movie identification?


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

Hi, have you enabled saving of nfo metadata to your local media folders? That would be the best way to do it.

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.

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')

For example tt10975992 (Mistletoe & Menorahs) is identified as tt1097599 (The Rubber Industry of the Amazon).

Hi, how are you determining that it was treated that way?

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.

How did you add the imdb id?

Try with these,

 

tt10149756,  tt11404430, tt10887846.

file name. eg Christmas Hotel (2019) tt10887846

I think the problem is in the scanner. It is identified correctly from the meta data page if one enters it.

You Light up My Christmas (2019) tt10964516
