Metadata added - Emby

There is a problem with the “Added” field of the Sonarr generated xml. I don’t know if it’s possible to prevent the field from changing when the series refresh every day. This is a field that should be left alone once the series is added to Sonarr. Currently, it keeps updating with today’s datetime, every day due to the \refresh series scheduled task (every 12 hours).

This in turn causes the server to pick up on the change and constantly update series. Not good. Hopefully this helps precisely track down the issue. :slight_smile:

Why would Emby need to refresh the series if Sonarr is doing all the work with metadata? In the event that Sonarr doesn’t have an added date for the series (it was added within the last few months), what would be shown, nothing, a random date?

It just keeps updating their metadata manager with the same info, except the added date is constantly updated. This in turn causes our Kodi app to constantly refresh the same series… It just has that bad chain effect.

I think the best way to deal with the dateAdded is if it doesn’t change when Sonarr runs the refresh series task. It’s something that should remain the same no matter what. Dateadded is Datecreated, not DateLastUpdated if that makes any sense. Basically Added needs to be there like you guys have, it just needs to not update the field once set.

You reply so quickly markus :wink:

Pushed a fix for this to develop.
