TV Shows released as movies

[JimCartlidge 0]

Looking at moving over from Plex.

 

I'm importing my collection of films - but have two which were originally released as a two part mini TV series, but have been amalgamated into a film.
 

Both imported fine in Plex, but i cannot get emby does not recognise them as they are in my film's folder. They both appear in MovieDB and IMDB as mini-series.

 

Is there a way i can override this behaviour and import them automatically, or do i have to manually edit the metadata?
 

Thanks

Movie content type only queries the /movie side of TMDB so no as your item will be in /tv.  But if the item has existing metadata then you should not have any issues importing.  The TMDB id will be linked wrong as it will never look at /tv on TMDB.  Might work with OMDB, but would need a specific example to test.

ok thanks

Has this addressed your concern? You could still organize it as a TV special, but currently it will not pull internet metadata.

yes it has thanks - i've only got two films like this - so i'll go down the metadata route as they are stand alone items (Salem's Lot, and Day of the triffids)

 

Thanks for your quick feedback.

Ah yeah, Salem's Lot brought me here too :-)

I just put the data in by hand.  Not too terrible a task for just one movie.

Well, right after I posted this I went to add the show Psych to the library along with it's two movies.  Now's it's starting to frustrate just a tiny bit, lol.
