Asimov 0 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Hi, This is my first post so I like to start with saying that I am really impressed by the Media Browser project! I have been using version 2 for WMC for a long time and recently switched to the server edition and I am enjoying it a lot. My Question: I enabled the "new episiode organization" feature in the server and it is working fine for episodes that conform to the most common naming schemes, but it does not pick up episodes that do not have some kind of separation between season number and episode number. In my case for example it does not recognize: "the.good.wife.601.hdtv-lol.mp4". When I change the filename to "the.good.wife.6x01.hdtv-lol.mp4" it does recognize the episode. I would like to know whether it is possible to include this naming scheme in the episode detection in a next release? Thanks and best wishes for 2015!

pseudoheld 3 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 +1 for this. i also have some shows with the "show.name.101.mp4" format and mediabrowser doesn't recognize it. had to add it manually. does mediabrowser learn after adding something manualy once?

I don't think it will ever be possible to recognize that naming convention as season 1 episode 1 because it could just as easily be season 10 episode 1 or just episode 101. It is too ambiguous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too ambiguous. so far i have been using tvrename (http://www.tvrename.com/) which seems to have no problems with the format. its (sadly) a fairly standard naming scheme for scene releases. (just a few from this week: "gotham.112.hdtv-lol", "castle.2009.712.hdtv-lol", "revenge.413.hdtv-lol") if you think of it it isnt really ambiguous. basicaly its "SEE" (SeasonEpisodeEpisode). If the season were two digits it would change to SSEE: Season 1 Episode 1 = 101 Season 10 Episode 1 = 10001 so you can clearly discern between Season 10 and Season 1. Would be great if this could be implemented based on this rule. (i fully agree however that this is a stupid way to name the files ) Edited January 21, 2015 by pseudoheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 But there is no way to tell the difference between season 1 episode one and just episode 101. Also, what if there are more than 99 episodes in a season? Then 1101 could either be season 11 episode 1 or season 1 episode 101. The limitation of only two digits for season or episode numbers is a problem in some instances. If some products are making this assumption, perhaps we will need some sort of configurable rule to allow it just for auto organize or on a by series basis or something.

Luke 37113 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 We are capable of extracting episode and season numbers from these, see our automated tests: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Naming/blob/master/MediaBrowser.Naming.Tests/TV/SimpleEpisodeTests.cs#L40 We are using Kodi's regular expressions. But these expressions are not designed to also extract the series name which is why they don't work under auto-organize. But if you had an episode named that way in your tv library, it would work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37113 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 no. click the green help button in the library setup area for info on the supported formats. they're all listed there. its' specifically auto-organize that has additional requirements because we also have to be able to extract the series name in addition to the numbering.

pseudoheld 3 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 solved this using filebot. Posted a small rundown of it here: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/17816-understanding-adding-new-content/?p=173451 just incase anyone follows this thread with the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Anyway for Auto-Organize to recognize Media Center wtv naming conventions without using another program? I can't seem to get WMC to product S00 E00, just the name of the series and the episode name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ... just the name of the series and the episode name. I would think searching on episode name might be wrought with peril but maybe not... Actually reading the wtv metadata in the file would be a better option and will probably be something we'll get to at some point. That would be a great project for a new contributor as writing provider plug-ins is pretty easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hmmm.....maybe I can give it a go then. It's been a while since I did much programming. I'll take a peak at during a break tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
