GrimReaper 3331 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 How are your files named and organised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtheking1995 1 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Like that… but if I move the movie in other folder its good or if I say at emby go in this specific file he find movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3331 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Assuming you've added /volume1/disque1/Film as your library path with each movie in it's own subfolder, you have one extra subfolder (/1) under movie folder, and that one is being recognized: .../L'arme fatale/1/Lethal.Weapon... Dump those extra subfolders and rescan. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtheking1995 1 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) I think the problem comes from emby direct on the NAS... I installed another emby in a virtual machine on windows 10 and there is a different problem... He finds the covers but in double and triple and it's not the same movie in double and triple Edited November 13, 2022 by maxtheking1995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3331 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 You're not following recommended movie naming convention/folder structure so odd results like those you're seeing are surely to be expected. Instead of making it harder for the parser to determine which movie it is, you should strive to make it easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtheking1995 1 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Ok but all my tv show are done the same way and everything is correct. I created a folder movie 2 and I copied the movie folders without changing anything in it and emby detects them very well without problem. So I think it's a bug Do you know of any software that automatically renames? Because I have at least 10TB of movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkXP71 100 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Take a look at https://github.com/towel42-com/MediaManager its free, and is designed to work with emby to name your media correctly. Let me know if you have any issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37272 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 OK, perhaps try using the Identify feature on some of the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8361 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Can only guess something with structure but would need a bigger picture of overall layout and library path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkXP71 100 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I think you will find, relying on any pattern matching, from any tool, is a tough challenge if you are not willing to follow their rules. Including renaming old files. Ive been pretty anal retentive about my media naming for almost 2 decades, since I ripped my 2000 CDs. For music, its always been Genre/Artist/Album/# - song name.mkv When I started ripping my DVDs, I always tried to make the name for movies accurate and clean. Using spaces (not periods for instance) not putting the format in the filename (I can always dump the properties, and my player was always vlc so it didnt matter). I only put movies in directories when I wanted to group them into my own collections. So I would have a Star Wars folder and underneath it all the star wars movies For TV shows, it was always Show Name/Season #/Show Name - SXXEXX - Episode Title.mkv But when I moved to emby, I change to adapt to their naming.. I had a number of movies (and tv shows) where they were remakes and I had both, which of course would confuse it. Now, all my movies are Movie name (Year) [tmdbid=xxxx]/Movie Name - Extra info.mkv For TV Shows I use ShowName (Year) [tmdbid=xxxx]/Season Num (season year)/Show Name - SxxExx - episode title.mkv I still put many movies and TV shows in collections, which cause no issues for emby. If you are looking for a simple way to do this, take a look at the tool I wrote for it called MediaManager, you can download it from https://github.com/towel42-com/MediaManager its free and MIT licensed (open source) Edited November 16, 2022 by HawkXP71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
