spon 26 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Hi guys. Does Emby use TheMovieDB or TheTVdb for tv SEASON metadata? In settings, the UI shows TheMovieDB as the only option for scraping metadata. However inside the MetaData Manager, it's asking for the TheTVDB id. Which one is correct? Specifically, I can't get the TV show, "The Haunting" to work at all. Some sources list it as 1 series with 2 seasons, other sources list it as 2 different series. I would prefer to have one Series called The Haunting with 2 seasons: The Haunting of Hill House (season 1) and The Haunting of Bly Manor (season 2). My folder structure is: Show\Season\Files Any suggestions?
GrimReaper 4740 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Use Identify on your Series level with TVDB Id (345246) and it should populate it according your preference. Cheers 1
MediaMogal 19 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 The Haunting gets a bit confusing. In Emby it comes up as two separate series "The Haunting Of Hill House" and "The Haunting Of Bly Manor" when in actuality both are the same series. Now in DuckieTV which grabs it's data from Trakt who grabs their data from TheTVDB both seasons are treated as one series "The Haunting" as they should be. Also Sonarr treats the two seasons as one series like it should.

Cheers So in my case I can remove the two I have and simply replace the one you posted to correct the series?

That depends on your folder structure. If you have a single Show folder (The Haunting) and both of them nested as separate seasons (with proper naming), it should have been done automatically already, and if not, Identify should correct that. Edit: DO Rename your Bly Manor episode files as S02Exx or whatever naming convention you use. Edited November 5, 2020 by GrimReaper76 1
MediaMogal 19 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 The later is exactly what I was just going to ask about. Normal is say parent folder 9-1-1, subfolders Season 1, Season 2, ETC... In this case I'd assume parrent The Haunting, subs The Haunting season 1, The Haunting season 2. File examples The Haunting Of Hill House S01E01 Episode name, The Haunting Of Bly Manor S02E01 Episode name. If You think I should set it up differently please let me know. Thanks and thand for the info.

MediaMogal 19 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I just did the below and will test The Haunting (2018) The Haunting Season 1 The Haunting Season 2 Changed the Bly Manor episodes to S02 instead of S01

MediaMogal 19 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Thanks again that worked like a charm. Had to remove Hill House and Bly Manor from the episode titles, but that's just fine by me. Looks good. 1

spon 26 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 yep, thanks. The step I had missed was renaming the episode titles (ie. removing the Hill House/Bly Manor). Thank you!
