flowlee 1 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) The classic cartoon Mickey's Trailer is not picked up during a library scan. The filename is "MickeysTrailer (1938).mp4" so I guess this has something to do with the word "trailer". The file also does not show up in the metadata manager. Is there some way I can get the scraper to pick up the file or point the metadata manager to the file location? Thank you!

d00zah 129 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 File name may be confusing things. Try 'Mickey's Trailer (1938)', which gets picked up fine. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/53219-mickey-s-trailer?language=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowlee 1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thank you for your suggestion. I changed the filename according to your post but it still doesn't get picked up... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00zah 129 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 What library type? I tested by adding to a 'Movie' library & it was identified correctly. My movies are stored in the following structure: \\NAS\[sharename]\Movies\Mickey's Trailer (1938)\Mickey's Trailer (1938).mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowlee 1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) The problem is that the file doesn't even get picked up at all, so there is nothing to identify. The file is not listed in the metadata manager. My guess is that the word "trailer" somehow confuses the scraper and makes it think that this is a trailer for a different movie. The library type is mixed, I'll try movie and report back. Edited November 16, 2017 by flowlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowlee 1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Even with library type set to movie the file is not being recognized. The only difference between my naming scheme and d00zah's seems to be the subfolder with the movie's name and I would rather not do that to keep my library consistent. The only way I can figure out how to get around this is to insert a typo in the filename to let the file be scraped and then identify it manually. But that would not be a sensible or clean way to do it at all. Does anyone know of a way to maybe point the scraper towards a specific file?

Guest asrequested Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 When you used 'Trailer' in the title, did you also change the folder title and delete any metadata in the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00zah 129 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) According to the WIKI on movie naming, the folder is unnecessary. I just downloaded the trailer from YouTube & dropped in one of my movie libraries with no folder & it was scanned into the library. Do you have real time monitoring enabled for that library? Or did you perform a library scan after the new media was added? I DID need to identify it manually once it was scanned in, which I interpret to be a side effect of not giving it its own folder, but supplying 'Mickey's Trailer' & '1938' in the appropriate identify fields got the correct results. Added it in a folder & it was automatically identfied. Is the file playable? Possibly corrupt & ffprobe is unable to scan it? Maybe @@Luke has some insight? I'm sure he'd want to see the server log covering when the media was added. Edited November 16, 2017 by d00zah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Having a folder isn't necessary, but it if it's in its own folder, the folder name should be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowlee 1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Thank you for your replies! My library is set up without any subfolders, and realtime monitoring is not disabled. I triggered a manual refresh after renaming. The file, along with many others, is located in a folder named Cartoons and when I browse that folder in the web interface the item count is exactly off by one. The file isn't even in there so I can't identify it manually. I checked the log and every other file from the folder is in there but there is no mention of the missing file at all. I did find this snippet though which seems to correspond to the file: 2017-11-16 13:45:35.620 Info App: MovieDbProvider: Finding id for item: Mickey's 2017-11-16 13:45:35.620 Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669&query=Mickey%27s&language=en 2017-11-16 13:45:35.725 Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://www.omdbapi.com?apikey=fe53f97e&plot=full&r=json&y=1934&t=Mickey%27s&type=movie 2017-11-16 13:45:35.741 Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/8XVEUm5NW4zRR10G524uUt0WqYe.jpg 2017-11-16 13:45:35.751 Info ProviderManager: Saving image to /config/metadata/library/00/0094b5e94eeb0daeba64608ec177096d/poster.jpg 2017-11-16 13:45:35.752 Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/hL9P1pvWoNLdaC91Hlf22bQSYkQ.jpg 2017-11-16 13:45:35.765 Info ProviderManager: Saving image to /config/metadata/library/00/0094b5e94eeb0daeba64608ec177096d/backdrop.jpg I also just checked, and the file is playable without any errors in Kodi and VLC.

Guest asrequested Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) So it's being read as Mickey's. Have you tried removing it from the folder, selecting refresh, running a scan, and re-adding it? Edited November 16, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37260 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 without subfolders it is probably being ignored due to rules for trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowlee 1 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 The strange thing is that there's nothing called just "Mickey's" in my library... I just deleted the whole Cartoons folder from my library. Once the rescan is finished i'll add it all again, do a rescan and then report back. @@Luke That's what i figured at first but according to d00zah it's working for him without any subfolder.

d00zah 129 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 "That's what i figured at first but according to d00zah it's working for him without any subfolder." The difference could be that I placed the file in a top-level 'Movies' folder, rather than in a (in your case 'Cartoons') subfolder, which as Luke points out, may cause it to be treated as a trailer? So many possible layouts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Seems that the easiest fix would be to have it in its own folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, after a full rescan there's still no sign of Mickey's Trailer. @@Luke What exactly is the regex used while searching for trailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution flowlee 1 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Solution Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'm happy to report that the file is now picked up and displayed correctly in the latest stable version of the server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
