Only pull metadata from TheMovieDB?

[darrenw 0]

Hello. Would it be possible to only take the metadata from TheMovieDB? TheTVDB has several shows episodes in very strange orders, which would require lot of manual work to rearrange episodes. TheMovieDB has the episodes in the correct order, so would it be possible to ignore TheTVDB metadata on a show-by-show basis?

 

Thanks for any help

Hi there, yes it is. Have you explored the metadata fetcher settings for your TV library?

Yes, I know that you can select which metadata fetchers you want, I was just wondering if it was possible to modify the fetchers for a single show (Otherwise I would have to have a different library for just a few tv shows)? I see that I could remove thetvdb id, but when I scan the library it will just re-add thetvdb id.

Sorry, there currently is no per show metadata provider option.

 

As for removing the TVDBids, yes you can do that but have to lock the metadata.

 

For these one offs that have the provider differences, I would do the initial import, then disable tvdb and clear the tvdbid on the item, Refresh the item, lock the metadata, then re-enable disabled provider.  It is a little work.
