TMDb language fallback, metadata priority not working - CAnders10 - 2023-08-16

Hey!

I have the problem, that if I set the metadata language to German I often don't get titles or descriptions from TMDb.
Is it possible to get the English ones as a fallback if there are none available in German instead of just getting nothing?

I also tried using anidb for metadata but I have two problems with that:
  1. The titles are only shown in romanized japanese despite having the plugin set to localized with the translated title available on anidb
  2. I have the priority set like this: TMDb > anidb. Despite that, it still leaves the episode name and descriptions empty if TMDb has none in German instead of using the (English) informations from anidb.

Is there something I can do to solve these problems?

Thanks in advance!
Cedric

Hey @CAnders10

Yep this is a known limitation of the metadata plugins and unfortunately not possible as far as i know.
