| # Metadata Providers | ||
|
|
||
| Seerr fetches descriptive metadata (titles, descriptions, posters, release dates, | ||
| external IDs, etc.) from a number of third-party providers. The | ||
| **Settings → Metadata Providers** page lets administrators pick which provider | ||
| is used for each media type. | ||
|
|
||
| A **Test** button at the top and bottom of the page exercises every configured | ||
| provider and updates the two status badges (`TheMovieDB`, `TheTVDB`). Each badge shows one of: | ||
|
|
||
| - **Operational** — the test request succeeded. | ||
| - **Not tested** — no test has been run yet in this session. | ||
| - **Failed** — the test request errored; a toast describes which provider(s) | ||
| failed so the issue can be resolved without scrolling back up. | ||
|
|
||

|
||
| Choose between **TheMovieDB** and **TheTVDB** as the source of metadata for TV | ||
| series. TheMovieDB is the default and matches the source used for movies, which | ||
| keeps IDs and artwork consistent across the UI. | ||

Mention of movies in a section that talks about TV series is, imo, is quite weird. I feel this would sound more natural in the section above this.

This message wasn't an affirmation but rather a thought that’s why he used phrases like 'imo' and 'I feel.' The goal was to gather feedback from you and the other maintainers. Also, we avoid editing PRs directly because we let contributors manage their own PRs, as direct edits could be perceived as intrusive except if the author give this approval. |

|
||
| The **Test** buttons make one request per provider. | ||
|
|
||
| *TMDB / TVDB are tested only when selected as the active provider for one of | ||
| the media types.* | ||
|
|
||
| If any test fails, an error is shown for that provider and its status badge is | ||
| updated. | ||
Uh oh!
