Hi all,
I'm new here because my Emby server is defaulting to TVDB for my TV listings and much of their database is all jacked up and screwing up my database (Show metadata not matching my database files). I would like to edit listings on this site, but see no way to do so. Is there any way to get authorized to edit listings to match studio, network, and syndication databases? My server is using TMDB as a backup, but there are still some issues I would like to correct and perhaps series I could add as well. My Emby server database is huge and I'm highly detail oriented person who like fixing things.
Thanks! Jake

Hi Jake. You don't need any specific authorisation to edit entries on this site. When logged in, look out for the "Edit Page" button. Is there a specific example of something you're unable to edit? It might help if you can provide examples.
Please note that you should always follow the Contribution Bible, even if this means conflicting with information published elsewhere. Also, TMDB doesn't have complete TV listings for each TV channel. So although you can add the initial air date of an episode, it is not possible to add repeats.

Thanks Leon. I tried to edit Season 1 of Pawn Stars (to start), but it won't let me edit episode numbers or add an episode. Episode #21, "A Christmas Special" is missing and the remaining 4 episodes all need to be moved one space forward. I would like to go through all 20 seasons to make sure they align with the official History Channel site, Wiki, and IMDB as much as possible because I have been recording them off Tablo and adding them to my Emby server, but what I have recorded does not always match with TMDB, which it is defaulting to because The TVDB has reverted to years, which is a complete s#!t show when trying to sync with Emby. Any way I can edit individual episode numbers and add additional ones?

You can usually edit the details, but Pawn Stars has been locked by the moderators, so that is an exception.
You'll find "A Christmas Special" in the Specials:
