Identify IMDB Not Working

[techman2005 2]

When I try to identify content by going to "identify" and then input the IMDB Id I get no results just blank this used to work fine. I haven't changed anything not sure why this stopped working

[Happy2Play 9780]

IMDBid only works if TMDB has that ID or you have enabled OMDB as a provider also.

Can you go over a specific example and what providers and order you have enabled on the library.

Do you need them both enabled then for the cross reference? The reason I am asking is because on my last import of movies ( after working some for a proper identification, and embedding tt numbers..) some of them showed up worse without changes to other metadata. Where before.. my Asian embeds got better identification and using the TT numbers really helped be more specific. I had the OMDB unchecked. I had played with which one was better of the three for movie data...

The MovieDB  is selected under the library 

 I also verified the content is under TMDB

Can you go over an example, just because TMDB has the content does not always mean they have the IMDBid.  Does Emby find the media using the TMDB id?

May need to see the server log going over a specific example also.

So Emby is not finding Anything Identification seems to not be working, I found out when new content was put on the server and it wasn't identified.  I then tried to manually identify and that produced nothing

Ideally yes as OMDB is by IMDBid, but can be searched by name also.  TMDB will query IMDBid but is dependent of the information being present.

MovieDb has no movie for that imdb id. That's why you got no results.

The issue is Blue Planet II is not a Movie, it is TV technically a mini series.

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/74313-blue-planet-ii?language=en-US

TMDB has two query types TV and Movie and are restricted for each.

[Happy2Play 9780]

You would need to enable OMDB in order to get this with tt6769208.

Ok so I should expect issues with other mini series?

 

[techman2005 2]

OK that makes sense thanks for your help!

Yes as all mini series are TV according to TMDB.

As mentioned above you should get what you want if enabling OMDB.  But truly depends on if this is one item or multiple episode/files.

Another example showing the type from TMDB, requiring TV content type query to get info from them.
