real_embylover 1 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hello, I have a Synology DS415play running DSM 7.1.1-42962 with afaik the newest emby srv available. I have a movies folder with ~500 movies, a lot of old ones from 2012 / 2013. Sadly Emby doesn't recognize most of the old movies, because the movie name is "encoded" into the the folder name. Here are some examples /volume1/Filme/12.Years.a.Slave.2013.BDRip.AC3.German.XviD-POE/poe-12yas-xvid.avi /volume1/Filme/Die.Buecherdiebin.2013.BDRip.AC3.German.XviD-POE/poe-buecherdiebin-xvid.avi Is there a setting that enables name extraction from the folder, as fallback?

Luke 37116 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hi, what do you mean by doesn’t recognize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_embylover 1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi Luke, When a movie isn't recognized the metadata is missing. Emby shows no cover and not title. Just a screenshot of the movie and the filename. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 HI, try right clicking on one of them and using the Identify feature. Please let us know if that helps bring in metadata. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_embylover 1 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 The identify feature only works if I enter the title manually. If I leave the fields empty, the search result is empty. I tested pasting the foldername into the title field, worked for 3 movies. But I don't want to do this manually for >100 movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMCsw 122 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 If your willing to change the naming of your folders/files FileBot may be able to make this quick and easy for you. I created the directory and dummy files as you listed, then dragged them into FileBot and got the results bellow (my setting are all english). You can change the format used and even have it add the ID’s to help emby identify them. If these movies shown bellow are correct then FileBot may work for well you.

real_embylover 1 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I'm running Emby 4.7.11.0. I'm using it for about 2 years. Not sure which version was installed on my NAS 2 years ago. Edited October 9, 2023 by real_embylover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 OK, this should be improved in the upcoming 4.8 server release. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be helpful if you name your files correctly instead of leaving them the file name they were given when posted to whichever site you downloaded them from. @TMCsw you should have mentioned that fileBot is a paid program.
