TheGremlin 68 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am not sure if it's possible to scrape the "Translated Tagline / Tagline" on tmdb. I mean this short Sentence / Quote: The Emby Metadata Editor has also this field to add this short Sentence / Quote: Like you see, I have add this tagline manually, but perhaps it's not a big deal to also scrape this field? I know, it's not really necessary, but the sentences / quotes are sometimes eyecatchers for the viewer audience. It would be a nice to have, if it's easy to add this?

Happy2Play 9780 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I can assume you mean for Shows as this already happens for Movies.
TheGremlin 68 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 Okay^^. I haven't even noticed that his allready work for movies^^. But it would be a nice to have also for TV Shows. Maybe it's not so hard for TV Shows, if it's allready integrated for Movies?
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Tv Shows dont have taglines on TVDB as far as i can see TMDb has the odd one or two
TheGremlin 68 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 I know, I have also check it. But TMDb has it
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Porbably not imported by Emby as have never seen a tagline for a tv show in emby
TheGremlin 68 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 ehhh... I am not sure, but if you check randomly some tv shows on TMDb, you will notice that much of them has a tagline over the description ^^. We never saw it that much, because most people using tvdb as first scraper. Just some popular examples, which I found randomly and instandly. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1412-arrow?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/60735-the-flash?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/62688-supergirl?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1399-game-of-thrones?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71446-la-casa-de-papel?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/75006-umbrella-academy?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/76479-the-boys?language=dehttps://www.themoviedb.org/tv/63174-lucifer?language=de I just testing around with TMDb and thinking about to switch to it as main scraper, so i noticed some differences to tvdb. I know the tagline stuff isn't important for emby and it's functionality. It's a small "nice to have". But I am happy about every small improvement. Many of the taglines are shitty quotes, like for example on doctor who "Space. For all." But some are also nice, like The Good Doctor "His mind is a mystery, his methods are a miracle." And some rare ones are mind flashing: Game of Thrones - "Winter Is Coming", which makes your even nostalgic about the show.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Looking at the returned data from TMDB to me is does not appear their api returns the tagline for TV like it does for Movies. The info is not in the json files cached by provider for each series either. FYI it is impossible right now as it is on TMDB's backlog for TV. https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5e88a9016c74b9001795a01b Edited September 9, 2020 by Happy2Play
TheGremlin 68 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Posted September 9, 2020 Ahh... to bad. Thanks at looking at it
handspiker2 6 Posted December 23, 2025 Posted December 23, 2025 The tagline is provided by the API since 2021: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/tv-series-details
Happy2Play 9780 Posted December 23, 2025 Posted December 23, 2025 Yep it looks like a field Emby need to add as it is not cached even though it is present in the actual api query.
Luke 42077 Posted December 23, 2025 Posted December 23, 2025 Hi, yes we can look at adding this. Thanks.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted December 23, 2025 Posted December 23, 2025 Supported in plugin update 1.8.9. Need to Refresh or Refresh search for missing on library to populate field. 1
