VideoPlayer.IMDBNumber infolabel returns TMDB ID for certain movies - aeonvex - 2024-05-22
Hi,
I use a4ksubtitles as my subtitle provider and have noticed that for certain movies it fails to search for subtitles, instead displaying "IMDB ID is not provided". Initially I thought this was either due to the scraper not finding an IMDB ID for more obscure movies or a bug within a4ksubtitles itself - but after taking a look at the database myself, all affected movies do indeed have an IMDB ID associated with them. Looking into it further, I found that a call to
xmbc.getInfoLabel("VideoPlayer.IMDBNumber") inside the addon will instead return the TMDB ID for the affected movies, even though the IMDB ID is available. Unfortunately despite following the build guide I couldn't get a debug build to work to debug or fix the issue within xbmc myself, though admittedly I'm probably out of my depth a little there.Regardless, I suspect "VideoPlayer.IMDBNumber" should not be returning a TMDB ID?

I don't think "VideoPlayer.IMDBNumber" should be used for that purpose. I think the proper method is to get the InfoTagVideo and then call method getUniqueID(imdb).
python:tag = xbmc.Player().getVideoInfoTag()
imdbid = tag.getUniqueID(imdb)
if imdbid:
do something
else:
maybe query online api for a valid imdbid?

Apologies for the late reply, but that does seem to work, thanks! I've modified the addon myself for now and I'll see about opening an issue / submitting a pull request with the authors as well.
