For years i avoided the clucnky metadata fetcher of xbmc/kodi/plex/MD/Emby by doing my own manually with MetaBrowser, but now that it is is gone, what is there to use.
I tried allowing kodi to use tvdb and tmdb, but wow what a hassle fixing all the mistakes. Granted tmdb is not too bad, but tvdb is laden with inaccurate info, not to mention the hassle of going into each of my systems and editing them manually after the fact.
What are those of us with large servers and massive media collections able to use for a metadata editor that will fetch manually from tvdb, tmdb & imdb and edit it on the fly?
Any help or constructive ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thx,
Ice

Fix it on the metadata site so everyone benefits. It takes a couple of minutes to do once registered.

Metabrowser is still working fine for me here
Has it been discontinued?

Yes it seems metabrowser is indeed defunct. It is working fine, but you cannot renew or change anything once the original reg runs out.
As far as fixing it on the site...if you mean tvdb that seems futile as many of the mistakes just get reversed when corrected and they seem to ignore the rest. They state that they use the initial broadcast network to determine the correct info, however, it seems that is up for debate among the minority as there are many items that are incorrect as of the original network...but they just lock the strings and leave them that way no matter what is submitted...kind of useless.
So if we make them correct in our own libraries then use the scapper in kodi, it all gets change back to incorrect data, even if you set it to only download missing items it still finds a way to mess it up. A lesson in futility...lol.
