Unable to retrieve metadata from TMDB

I have 2 files that I can't get added to the library. They are named exactly as they are on www.themoviedb.org.
I have added the year and the IMDb ID in the filename with no luck.

The files are:

11-11-11 - (2011) (tt1712159).MP4
Lt. Robin Crusoe U.S.N. (1966) (tt0060640).MP4

Thanks for any assistance. Still waiting for that embedded metadata extractor ;)

When you are using the IMDB tag, I don't believe the year is necessary. That might be confusing the algorithm. http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=imb ... ata_naming

I got Lt. Robin Crusoe U.S.N. to add ,but not the movie 11-11-11.

I tried 11-11-11 (tt1712159) as my file name as well.

Does anyone know if Serviio uses TMDB's alternative tiles also? I don't believe so as I tried those as well. Though it might help in this situation.

Since you're using the tt number, I wouldn't think the name is as important. I checked both themoviedb and imdb, and they both agree with the title name as you have. I'm out of town right now, but when I return home I'll make a dummy file and use my file naming program to see if it identifies it differently, or offers any alternate name. then I'll see if my Serviio recognizes it.

Thank you.

If you remove the dashes you should be fine - "111111 [tt1712159].mkv" worked for me.
