New Movie Agent Release Dates

“Relevance” is where you find a breathing employee…
you’ve already done more than the other 3 that took it nowhere.

I was told removing those dates at TMDB is considered Vandalism.
TMDB and me have different interpretations of the word ‘Vandalism’. It looks to me like Rudolph has already been Vandalized fairly heavily, but they make the rules for my behavior.

The next step is getting Plex to sidestep TMDB’s Vandalism to display the original and correct Release Date… Like TMDB does on their main Rudolph Page, but Plex doesn’t:

I watched that ‘Movie’ in person, the night it aired in 1964.
I take it personally when I see 2005 - 'cause I Was There, Dammit!..lol

I have removed that release date from TMDB since it is not the first release (and I don’t see it as vandalism, I personally see it is correcting bad data).

Regarding release dates, these are based on your library settings for language.

As to the correct dates being shown, we had an issue with our current IMDb ingestion pipeline where all release dates were January the 1st as the data was not available. We are in the process of moving to a new IMDb ingestion API which will allow us to have release dates from IMDb. In the interim we switched to pulling release dates from TMDB which is why it is easier to see “less than desired” release dates.

Looking at TMDb it appears they return the earliest release date (regardless of country) to the website when viewing it. Plex allows you to have release year localised to your library language (country) in the new agent.

OK, well when I got this what I read was:
Behave yourself or I’ll ban you so fast it’ll make @chrisallen 's head spin… :

My ‘Repairing Career’ at TMDB ended after that message, but I’ll let you explain it to TMDB when you get one very similar to that…lol

I’ll take whatever ‘solution’ you guys come up with, but I have no plans to Change Agents. TMDB is working fine - and I hope it continues - so whatever relief you guys have planned for this particular circumstance - I await.

thx

Wow I did not know! Thanks for the friendly info. Either way, we should have the dates solved when we can switch back to IMDb :wink:

Yea, it appeared to me they were dead serious about it…lol

thx…

EVERY TIME they air Rudolph (1964) they add and remove a few scenes. I’m pretty sure George Lucas is involved somehow. Or somebody is preparing to use it as a copyright test.

(The new agent picks it up as 1964.)

Edit: Oh, phooey. Move this if you want. Or delete it. Nothing important. :slight_smile:
