I'm testing both, this script and your plugin these days.

Both of them are great.

I like @mickle026 one because there is also the possibility to ignore words and to force entries in movies or serie.

I like @sftech13one because you can choose to import what you don't have in your media dir, so only new content.

Tnx to both for your work.

 

I'm hoping that mickle026 might consider the 2nd option, but don't want to ask at the moment, as he has accomplished alot in a short period of time and deserves a little break

I am continually updating my regex pattern.

The last update above is working in my emby plugin , I'm pretty sure I have updated it again since though.  I am not home much today so probably can't post the latest today.

Anyway the best thing for @sftech13to do is check it on a small sample and see if he can see why.  The question is , is it my regex or something in the translation to python such as the escape sequences in it?

I am happy to share mine , it all benefits everyone.

I will still be modifying mine as there are a few edge cases that it's still not capturing.

Thank you. I'm out today but tomorrow will fix it 

 

Thank you and everyone for the support. This is how the community should always be

I run the script again with latest update, but nothing as been created ti Tv Shows folder.

I also try to delete cache file and run the script again, but nothing in tv show.

I have all ok in movie and documentary folder

Do you need log file?

I'll fix tomorrow. I'm out today

Here's what I'm seeing in the plugin this morning...Maybe I have it set up incorrectly, but there's no directories being generated.

I have updated and confirmed the regex is working based on the your example. 

try it out and let me know. I also adjusted the config and base directory. No more specifying existing directories. 

I will add more regex when someone requests with examples to ensure functionality. 

 

# Updated patteren for Alaska: gli alieni sono tra noi S01 E05
tv_pattern = re.compile(r"(?i)S(?:eason)?\s*(\d{1,4})\s*E(?:pisode)?\s*(\d{1,4})")

In previous version in config file i had:

    "existing_media_dir": [
        "/media/Movies",
        "/media/Serie_Tv"
    ],

Because i had 2 different dir, but now it only works with one folder.

How can i configure 2 folderS?

Tnx

Use 

/media

it will walk all folders

The problem is that i have many folders in /media, also STRM folder itself.

hmmm.. Okay let me add it back. For testing you can create a temp directory and symlink the folders you want.

Just pushed an update for non-ASCII characters in name. 

Just pushed another update, ignore keywords. The config file as a couple new entries. 

Try it out let me know. 

Edited March 10 by sftech13
update ignore keywords

[fbrassin 44]

It seems to be ok now.

I have to do some more test about ignore config.

I updated again for cache reading and directory/file deletion. If the item is out of the m3u it will delete the .strm and directory its in . You will need new cache files. Delete the current ones and let it run.

I'm not impatient, just curious to know if there will be a way to do this via the plugin & MacOS server.. I've lived without it for years, but it's always been just out of reach lol ... I've tried running Python scripts & Homebrew, etc., but I can't ever get that stuff to work, so the plugin is the only way for me

Follow the progress in the plugins dedicated thread here:

This current thread is mainly updates on the python script by @sftech13

For the plugin please see the current BETA by @mickle026I will most likely stop development on this once the plugin is out of BETA myself.

Not the same, but similar.  The both achieve a very similar outcome.

 

Not working together, but not against each other either, I am happy to help anyone where I can.

So yours isn't in the plugin catalog? I couldn't find it anyway ... or from that link in your sig...assuming then it's one I'd have to install myself? Can you post the link (and forgive me if it's someplace right in front of my face & I'm not seeing it)? Thank you!

Sundevil do you need help installing a plugin? I run macos m4 mini if you need help. I gave up on windows for now.

I have it M3UtoSTRM (from the catalog) installed; just not working for me. It just creates empty directories & copies of my m3u files. I was just looking at the "Beta" one by @mickle026& looks like it may just be more than I can chew. I think this may just be something I have to do without. I appreciate the help.
