Having issues with a lot of trailers not being found, How excatly does it search for trailers (not tmdb as i realise thats an tmdb - youtube thing) theres a lot in my collection missing trailers and i know for sure that some of these sites must have trailers.. such as knocked up, my bloody valentine, night.at.the.museum, the.uninvited, the.wrestler so on and so forth, its skipped about half the movies in my collection. So im thinking ive named them wrong or something, whats the best way to make sure they will be picked up and relevant trailer downloaded?
In frustration ive started adding trailers (from youtube) to the tmdb site for movies that i have that dont currently have trailers. Problem is, EMM still isnt picking these up. How do i clear the trailers cache so it will refresh and see the new trailers. Tried clearing all cache but that isnt related to trailers by the look of it.
For every site aside from youtube/tmdb, they are scraped from the IMDB trailer page for the selected movie. The best thing you can do is add a youtube link (to the best quality trailer you can find) to the TMDB page for the movie.... that would benefit not only yourself, but other users as well. The problem with Ember not finding the trailer soon after you added it to the TMDB page is not a problem with Ember, but with the TMDB API. It is read off a cache that is only updated periodically. It may take a few days before the API is updated to what is actually on the page. I'm not sure if it has changed lately, but the last I read, the owner of TMDB actually runs the cache update manually, so it's up to him when the new additions with make it to the API.
EDIT: If you, or anyone else for that matter, have any suggestions for trailer sites that can be searched by IMDB ID, we would love to hear them.
