| # 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. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Metadata Provider Selection | ||
|
|
||
| This section controls which provider is used for which media type. | ||
|

|
|
||
| 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. TheTVDB tends to have richer | ||
| episode-level data for long-running shows. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Anime Metadata Provider | ||
|
|
||
| Choose between **TheMovieDB** and **TheTVDB** for anime entries. Many users | ||
| prefer **TheTVDB** here because its anime catalogue is typically more complete | ||
|

|
|
||
| Selection changes are persisted with the **Save** button at the bottom of the | ||
| page. | ||

||
| The **Save** buttons persist changes to `config/settings.json`. 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, a toast is shown for that provider and its status badge is | ||
| updated; the other providers' results are independent. | ||
