Parsing genres from TMDB - Feature Request

[imkimchi]

I wonder why It doesn't parse the genre information from TheMovieDB.
You can parse genre information easily using their APIs like below!

/search/movie API returns genre_id array and then you can get the corresponding name of the genre_id's using /genre/movie/listAPI.

Would you like to add this feature?

I've noticed this too. This is already happening on restart of the app, in the Bootstrap.groovy but I agree that it should happen when adding movies and shows

[dularion]

Oh wait, I am not sure I am following. I thought you were talking about something else. How do you mean, parse? As in, it should appear for search results?

After add a movie, It doesn't show up genre of its movie so users should add genre manually. I thought its supposed to be generated automatically by the service.

[dularion]

It is... I'll have to debug further

[imkimchi]

Did you fix this issue?

[dularion]

Sorry, not yet. but will get to it soon

For anyone having this issue: Looks like the solution is to keep rerunning streama until it shows up. The genre table is only populated on startup which can't happen until you add your moviedb api key. # #

added a feature now where you can manually adjust the genre, too. (will be in v1.6.7)

I've addressed this bug for "Similar Movies" in v1.6.7. I cannot reproduce it anywhere else. please reopen if you find more occurences of genres missing.

Found out that it also happens for BulkCreated files. Resolved in v1.7.0-RC10
