Question TMDB auto assignment not working on vod

[Mansoure.23]

Hello, I would like to share the situation that ti am facing with xtream.
When importing movies or series, it is not automatically selecting the right element from tmdb even when the name exactly matches and populates on the list of available elements.
I can confirm it works if doing it manually 1 by 1 but when importing a huge amount of content is not possible.
Any hint on how this get fixed?

Hi
you need to create an api key

API key has been already created and configured on the panel

When you're bulk importing hundreds of movies at once, Xtream UI sends a lot of parallel queries to the TMDB API. TMDB has a strict query rate limit (typically 40 queries per 10 seconds).
If you exceed that limit when importing, the API will start returning empty responses and the panel will skip auto-selection.
Solution: Inside the PHP loop for VOD import, add a small delay, eg usleep(250000); (a quarter of a second), to avoid rate-limiting by TMDB and ensure stable metadata retrieval for each individual movie
