With this change I propose that english metadata from collection (fallback situation) occurs when a collection NAME is missing, instead of OVERVIEW (description).
This means a translated collection that has the vital information such as name will be sufficient to be used... not forcing Emby to download english data (with the non-translated title and overview) just because the translated version has an empty overview.
I took a while to understand why some of my collections weren't downloading their translated versions from provider. I traced the problem to this... the ones who had overview were pulled in, the ones who hadn't Emby used the fallback (easily seen in the logs).
This commit can significantly improe library scan times!
(in my case from 15minutes to 50s)
This fixes the following situation:
When a user has a series in his library with lots of episodes (like
thousands), the metadata for ALL series episodes was refreshed during
each library scan. This resulted in very long scan times, even when
using the provider's cached data.
This fix skips metadata refresh for episodes that are NOT present in the
local library and are having an airdate older than 30days (no more
changes likely to occur) during library scans.
But these skipped items would still be refreshed during a full metadata
refresh.
I believe this is an acceptable balance between performance and
accuracy.
