Erroneous error: Primary facts IMDB ID is already taken
postat de către AllardSTAFFMOD pe data de 26 mai 2013 la ora 12:34 PM
When trying to upload a movie poster for "The Hospital" (1971) I was presented with the following error: "Primary facts IMDB ID is already taken by Hospital". When I clicked on the linked "Hospital" I was sent to a TV movie named "Hospital" from 1970. I checked the IMDB-ID to see if it was indeed wrong but both movies had different IMDB-ID and as I could tell a correct one. I was able to fix the error by deleting, saving and re-entering the (same!) ID's to both movies.
Not a big issue but it might happen to more movies.

Hi Allard,
Yes, this is something that can happen but should be happening less and less. There was a time when more than one IMDB ID could be added to an entry. They've been mostly cleaned up over the past few months but there's going to still be some around. Just do exactly what you did and you're good to go.

Cheers.
