Good afternoon MariusTh86,
When ViMM sends a search request to the TMDB, as you mentioned, is it designed to look for the exact match first, isn't it? I mean a movie on TMDB or IMDB that matches the exact name and year, and if found, then give that as first option? Not happening. I did an API search and it does retrieve back the right movie (//api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.search/en/xml/API-KEY/new-shadow-warriors+2003). What could be happening that prevents ViMM from doing exactly as the API search did right.
This manual fetch you talk about, when invoked, there is a line where I can input, again, the exact name and year already showing on the folder and file, and then the IMDB number. Possibility for inputting a TMDB number would be desirable in this case, and in many others, since there is plenty of movies only with a TMDB number. There is a drop-down menu "search the web" that doesn't work, it simply doesn't obey the click of the mouse. When I press OK, then 2 small windows pop-up: "Processig TMDB" and "I do not know which movie this is. Please fetch metadata for this movie first". Is not this exactly what I am doing, fetching manually, is it? No option to "choose the correct title whatsoever" or "better images" as you pointed out you do. Leads just nowhere.
1) My apologies, ViMM wrote a .nfo file indeed to the movie folder. I was just looking to another folder on that tree (there are 6 movies from the New Shadow Warriors series!). I have pasted the .nfo that ViMM writes here for you to see.
2) Cool
3) I just put a .nfo with only the TMDB link to the movie, nothing else, and triggered new fetching for the selection. ViMM keeps finding same wrong movie. The 'manual search', as I explained earlier on this post, is not working on the build I have, may be a bug?
4) If ViMM sends the search request to TMDB, then why is it not getting the exact match, since the movie is in their database actually, and nowhere else. I have also done a metadata search using the japanese name "Shin Kage no Gundan (2003)", and ViMM still throws same wrong movie.
Needless to say, same wrong results are for all 6 New Shadow Warriors movies, amongst others. In the case of New Shadow Warriors II, ViMM returns this instead of this, whilst the TMDB and Universal Scraper add-ons for XBMC find both movies, parts I & II, correctly on first attempt.
Would it be possible for you to test a metadata fetch for a folder and video file called "New Shadow Warriors (2003)". I have placed the TMDB link for this movie earlier on this post. I am reluctant to go ahead processing more movies, until we find the cause of this, since the issue could only roll forward onto more titles.
Thanks in advance,
CF
