My problems with metadata just seem to be getting worse and worse. The latest problem I have noticed is a ton of movies no longer recognised. Based on googling and it’s ai it would seem that TMDB has changed the movie title year or how they determine it. Problem is - that’s a new development so tota…

Infuse use tmdb as data source,so imdb maybe is not adapt infuse

Yes, I am aware of that. And I am also aware that until a month or so ago, every title in my collection was properly metadata indexed and linked. Now its a complete mess. TMDB decided they would make the year based on some other metric and now every file that has a year they “disagree” with is no l…

As a result, the primary release date for this film changed from 2023 to 2024.
