Question: How does the metadata that i circled below in the screenshot get updated?
I tried updating TMDB but it has never gets updated. Example is WWE Smackdown. It should currently show USA Network (and previously FOX), but it would always stay with MyNetworkTV.
I see you added it on season level recently. Maybe it needs time to update. But I donât know where the mynetwork tv comes from as that is an older seasons netwerk.
Might be that support did manually override the network years back and now it doesnât update?
But it is quite ânewâ that networks are added in season level instead of show level. That could also be related. Maybe the api thing updated and trakt didnât update? Though that wouldâve probably broken network info for countless new shows, so pretty unlikely.
iâve updated seasons in the past but it also never updated correctly, so hopefully staff can help let us know how it gets updated if it doesnât get pulled from tmdbâs seasons.
maybe itâs locked by trakt. i do recall some shows, they lock titles too when itâs something popular.
While TMDB now offers networks per season on their site (since 2022), in their API they still only list the networks on the series level (without indication of season).
So Trakt is unable to tell what the current one is.
We can upvote it on their Trello board, but it has been there since october 2022)
Yeah, since itâs not in TMDBâs API yet we canât get that data automatically.
So to correct this, the page needs to be reported and I can manually change the network.
I have changed the network of this show you mentioned to USA Network. Thanks for reporting!
