MediaManager Help

Metadata Provider Configuration

Metadata provider settings are configured in the [metadata] section of your config.toml file. These settings control how MediaManager retrieves information about movies and TV shows.

TMDB Settings ([metadata.tmdb])

TMDB (The Movie Database) is the primary metadata provider for MediaManager. It provides detailed information about movies and TV shows.

tmdb_relay_url

If you want to use your own TMDB relay service, set this to the URL of your own MetadataRelay. Otherwise, use the default relay.

  • Default: https://metadata-relay.dorninger.co/tmdb

  • Example: https://your-own-relay.example.com/tmdb

primary_languages

If a TV show/movie's original language is in this list, metadata will be displayed and fetched in that language. Torrent searches done in Standard Mode uses the same fetched metadata, so if you use any language-specific tracker, you may enter the language here to get the desired search results. Otherwise, default_language will be used.

Format: ISO 639-1 codes (2 letters). Full list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes

  • Default: []

  • Example: ["no", "de", "es"]

default_language

Format: ISO 639-1 codes (2 letters).

  • Default: en

TVDB Settings ([metadata.tvdb])

tvdb_relay_url

If you want to use your own TVDB relay service, set this to the URL of your own MetadataRelay. Otherwise, use the default relay.

  • Default: https://metadata-relay.dorninger.co/tvdb

  • Example: https://your-own-relay.example.com/tvdb

MetadataRelay

The MetadataRelay is a service that provides metadata for MediaManager. It acts as a proxy for TMDB and TVDB, allowing you to use your own API keys if needed, but the default relay means you don't need to create accounts for API keys yourself.

You might want to use your own relay if you want to avoid rate limits, protect your privacy, or for other reasons. If you know Sonarr's Skyhook, this is similar to that.

Where to get API keys

Example Configuration

Here's a complete example of the metadata section in your config.toml:

[metadata] # TMDB configuration [metadata.tmdb] tmdb_relay_url = "https://metadata-relay.dorninger.co/tmdb" # TVDB configuration [metadata.tvdb] tvdb_relay_url = "https://metadata-relay.dorninger.co/tvdb"
