TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Now I'd understand if the server would have issues with showing the Swedish characters, then at least I would have understood to rename the files to fix the issue. But I find it highly annoying that it would instead altogether ignore the files, which was a bit more confounding. It took me quite a while to figure out the error, since the server does come featured as having Swedish language, and supposedly the option to have the meta data in Swedish (I haven't been able to test that yet, since i only just managed to get the files scraped). And before anyone starts, I know that using Swedish characters in any files on any system, is 'not advised'. Only thing is, this is animated movies (Disney and the likes of it) meant for a child, so the files themselves are taken from the Swedish versions of the DVD's, with the correct Swedish names, to separate them from any movies that doesn't have Swedish audio, and then shouldn't be displayed to the kids.

Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi there, can you please discuss specific examples? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Gladly! Dang you're fast! Sleeping Beauty, the Disney movie is titled "Törnrosa" in Swedish, and naming the file as such means it's not scraped or even recognized as media by Emby. Same for Beauty and The Beast, titled "Skönheten och Odjuret". Renaming the same files to have "a" or "o" instead of åäö means they are immediately scraped (and correctly identified!), and renaming them to the English title shows the same result. Both solutions are fine by me really, only slightly annoying, as I wanted to be able to separate out the movies with Swedish audio easily. Also, if they weren't correctly identified, and I'd have to help the meta data scraper along, I'd gladly accept that, as I would have expected it to some extent.

Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 i did a search for Törnrosa using the Identify feature and it worked just fine. What makes you think its' not recognized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Because adding the files to a library doesn't work? I added a folder with about 100 animated movies, about a tenth of them with Swedish characters in the name of the file, since most of them are titled as the same in both Swedish and English. Emby totally ignored the files with Swedish characters altogether and didn't show them in the library or meta data editor until I renamed them.

Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Perhaps it is due to the folder structure then and not related to Swedish characters. can you discuss the folder structure? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Sure, simple enough folder structure I think, I have every movie in a separate folder with the same name as the movie, title only, followed by the release year in brackets. Obviously, when renaming the movies to fix the issue, I renamed the folders as well. An example: Animated - Törnrosa (1959) -- Törnrosa (1959).mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Is it possible they were showing, but showing as something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 No, sorry... They weren't showing at all, which is what made me even notice it, as I knew I was missing a number of movies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Are you sure the initial library scan had completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Yes, it completed, although it took quite a long time to finish. I tried to scan it a few more times too, all of which completed. I don't have the specific log files handy, but I can easily recreate the error, by just dropping two files into a folder, one named "Törnrosa (1959).mp4" the other "Tornrosa (1959).mp4". One is added to the library, the other isn't. Edited November 26, 2017 by TweetyDaBird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37186 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 If the two files are in the folder together then they will be recognized as one movie with two different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TweetyDaBird 0 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Actually, no... The one file isn't at all recognized or added to the library as long as it contains an "ö"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
