I have a movie ( Zama (2017).mp4 ) that isn't being found.
Not sure which movie database is being used for matching titles.
That movie is found in both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.
Is there a way for a user to update the movie meta data ?
That movie isn't in the dropdown.
Ah, no, right now there’s no way to edit the information yourself.
What movie database does the software search from ? Like I said, that movie was found in both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes
It's probably using Gracenote's; they provide the guide data.
Try entering the tmsId MV010473810000 in the search box

Using that code worked.
If I need to in the future, how do I find that code myself ?
- Search on Zap2It for your movie.
- When you find the movie, open its info page.
- In the URL of that page, look for the
tmsIdparameter (for movies, it will start withMV…). - Use this
MV…value as your search item in Channels' option to fix the match.
(Zap2it uses the same upstream data as Channels.)

Thanks for this great information on how to fix Movie art. It has worked on many of my mismatched movies.
What do we do if zap2it does not have a movie listed in their database though?
Here are 2 examples that don't seem to exist in there:
Mission Impossible (1996)
Les Miserables (2012)
Add the colon at the end of "Mission" and it should come up. I couldn't find the Les Miserables entry despite several different variation attempts.
That's the wrong item. Even when spelled correctly, the 2012 movie does not appear in the Zap2It listings.
Oh. Darn.
This is a cool feature, but how about the ability to say 'no match?' I'd rather it not match up than have it shoehorned into some incorrect match.
Thanks!
