I don’t know how Infuse uses TMDb’s API, some TV shows metadata look wrong to me.
I use “Tom and Jerry” as sample, I captured the screen from iPhone version but the same thing happened on TV version.
“Tom and Jerry” TMDb link: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/3936-tom-and-jerry?language=en
On my NAS:
Tom and Jerry
-- Tom and Jerry Season 1
-- S01E01 (1940) Puss Gets the Boot.m4v
-- S01E02 (1941) The Midnight Snack.m4v
-- S01E03 (1941) The Night Before Christmas.m4v
......
-- Tom and Jerry Season 2
......
-- Tom and Jerry Season 3
......
Attached is what they look like in Infuse. Arrows show wrong places:
- No episode name
- All of 161 episodes have the same description – and I don’t know where infuse got this description from.
I applied TMDb API Key and tried myself.

As you can see, episodes’ name and description are all given by TMDb API. So question: why Infuse uses something else for it?
