TMDb -> add the Episode Group Feature into Emby

[billoux78 1]

+1 too for that feature request.

Needed for épisodes of Paw Patrol...

Btw the TMDB Scraper included in Jellyfin already has that feature.

Because Jellyfin is open source it maybe possible to port that feature to Emby to speed up the process.

No, we do not take any code from an OSS project.

[darkside40 107]

Yeah of course than you would have to publish it yourself under GPL

Hi, not yet but this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

I want to give a little bump to this, i think that this could be a good solution for the specials showing on their respective season. Making this a user preference instead of a server side option.

Please add this feature, I beg you. Original airdate order is such a pain with animated shows.

TMDB is more and more a mess. Really need this feature.

[Solal 2]

This is a needed feature. Jellyfin already does it correctly... Need it for batman TAS.

[JoeAverage 5]

I'm really looking forward to this feature being added.

I don't have an ETA but this is on our to do list. Thanks.

How big is your to do list?

[TheGremlin 68]

Hey Luke,

I'm still alive and still coming back every few months to check if there's been any progress on my feature request

Just so you know, I'm still using Emby – in my opinion, it's the best media server out there.

The only feature I'm still missing is this one I've seen other users ask for it too, so I know I'm not the only one hoping. I saw your comment that it's on the to-do list, which is great – even if there's no ETA yet.

Thanks for all the work you and the team put into Emby. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!

Cheers,

 

P.S.: After nearly five years, I figured a gentle ping wouldn’t hurt

 

[Luke 42077]

I still don't have an ETA, however it is moving up the list. I know you guys want it.

[TheGremlin 68]

Thank you Luke,

I am looking patiently forward to it

[Baenwort 118]

I wonder if there will be a bigger metadata overhaul that we will have to wait on to see this and the other alternative orders?

[ZAIAC001 6]

Are there any progress or any information about groups from tmdb?

I encounter more and more tv shows with such problem

Bad people on tmdb created stupid rules and now system not work

I’m really happy to see an official staff member respond so actively. It shows that the developers are actually listening to user feedback, which is great (even though this suggestion is already five years old). Keep it up!
