Senna 368 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yeah, I know, it's working for SD listings, that why I said "for my setup" which uses an xmltv listing which apparently only Emby has trouble with, getting Sesaon/Episode info from, in DVR name, while at recording start, the Episode info IS written to NFO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37066 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well I thought it was only needed when we don't have either the numbers, or the original air date. In this case we do have the original air date, so the time was omitted. I can add the time but then you could have a situation with an original air date in the past along with today's time.

andyblac644 69 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) @@Luke sorry but something needs to be done, it makes DVR recordings all mixed up with Emby list 2 episodes of what it thinks is the same episode which is NOT, as previously stated once Emby has recorded, why can we not scrape it with TVDB check against current Date/Time and if it matches that of what is in TVDB for the episodes JUST recorded scrape using THAT info and rename with THAT data for Season / Episode number, IMO this should be pretty easy to do ????. also look at the DATES that was recorded we are not in the future yet ??? they are OFF yesterday has the 30th March and today has 2nd April ???

If there isn't, then we do not lookup the program by name because that will lead to incorrect matches. sorry luke, but a well planned out approach to making recorded tv a standard library would have considered that and made the necessary changes in advance... also your comments on matching by name seem misplaced. i specifically mention matching on the basis of air date and air order if there are two programs with the same air date. i know this works as i've had other software doing this for daily shows. you want an example, ok. the show is emmerdale, the day we are interested in is a thursday, lets take last week. There are 2 epiosdes one at 7pm-7.30 and one 8pm til 8.30. the shows are incorrectly named as per the post from penkethboy above, they should be: Emmerdale 2018_05_17_19_00_00 Emmerdale 2018_05_17_20_00_00 The tvdb has the following: what more information do you need? you know air date and air order from the file name. anything that doesnt fit the strict criteria of that match should not be matched. your competitor http://www.recordedtvhd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope that not what you are doing - IF - the episode has a premiere datatime. You can see this as Emmerdale are wrongly named and Eastenders are named correctly with their start datetime. Emmerdale has a Premiere dattime and East Enderers does not. Sorry Luke but you completely missed my point - as you say often - did you fully read my post. I will try again For daily shows - DONT - use the premiere data - this is what's causing the problem for @@andyblac644 and @@Spaceboy - i.e. wrongly named files Just use the START datetime so the files are correctly named by their air datetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
