jglazer63 16 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It is scanning the folder: m:\new tv\Nash Bridges\Season 1\S01E08.mkv The series name is clearly there prior the the season 1 folder. Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton 94 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Try naming the show folder Nash Bridges (1996) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Right, it probably doesn't match the files to be organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglazer63 16 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Good idea Jack. I was excited a second... I should say that I'm using network URLs now (after lots of experimenting). But makes no difference. The "Load TV" folder is the source. And yes, it is still local to the server. Edited July 3, 2018 by jglazer63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 What is the file name in the watch folder? the series name there needs to be a match for a series in your library, otherwise it won't auto-organize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglazer63 16 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 This is a brand new series I want to add. There is no series like it in my library. Do I need to create the matching folder first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jglazer63 16 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 I created "Nash Bridges (1996)" folder under the target folder. Exactly same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jglazer63 16 Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ok, enclosed is the log file. I stopped the server, deleted the file, the restarted and did auto-organize so as not to send you a 20MB file embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglazer63 16 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It looks like you're using auto-organize for a purpose it was not intended. This is your input file: \\kodi\videos\load tv\Nash Bridges (1996)\Season 4\S04E04.mkv The file name is missing the series name and that's why there is a problem. I think what you're trying to do is move or rename your existing content and auto-organize wasn't built to do that. What auto-organize IS built for is taking single files from a watch folder and moving them into your TV folder structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglazer63 16 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 So it cannot work with season folders? That's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The primary issue is that the series name is not in the file name. S04E04.mkv While we are here I would just like to point out that the AutoOrganize plugin is a community addition, and contributions from new community members are welcome. The source code can be found here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.AutoOrganize Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglazer63 16 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yea I dug through part of the code. Been teaching C# and VB for years. Just hadn't had time to dig deep enough. I was always under the impression that if you maintain a structure of \series name\season 1\s01e01,.,, \s01e02.... \... \season 2\s02e01 and so on. Its pretty redundant to name each individual file by series name. The file name can be quite long: Mad About You (1989) S01E04 - The one that Paul mad Jamie laugh.mp4 That's ridiculously long for a file name.

Luke 36886 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes for regular library features, but i think you're forgetting the purpose that auto-organize was designed for. It is designed to be a single folder where you dump random files and then have them automatically organize them into your existing TV folder structure. That is the use case it is designed to support. Of course it can be expanded to accommodate new use cases but this will require all new development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14862 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Since your file structure is already "organized" you don't need auto organize. Why don't you just add this location to your TV library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
