chowbok 77 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I have it set to import titles from the metadata of files if it can't find online info, but it still sets the title of imported episodes to the filename. Is this a bug, or is that behavior only supposed to apply to movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi there, please provide an example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 77 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I created a directory for "Silly Symphonies" and added it as a TV show (really a movie series, but it still works). I had, for instance, a file called "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance.mkv". In the metadata, the film's title was set to "The Skeleton Dance". When I scanned the directory for new files, the episode showed up with the name "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance" and it should have just named it "The Skeleton Dance". Or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We don't parse the episode title out of the file name, so that only happens if it was able to get the title from internet metadata using the season and episode number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 77 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 You've completely confused me now. I don't understand what you mean. It did get the episode title from the filename. It wouldn't have gotten "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance" from the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Right, but the only way that turns into just the skeleton dance is from internet metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 77 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Okay, so I guess I don't understand what "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Embedded meaning the title is inside the video file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 77 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 But the title is inside the video file. I've edited the MKV metadata so that the movie name is "The Skeleton Dance". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Can you provide a sample video for testing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37178 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Is there pre-existing nfo file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowbok 77 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 I turned off the "Prefer embedded titles" option and turned it back on and that fixed it. Sorry, guess I should have tried that before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 That's strange. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
