When you say that this plug-in works by identifying the IMDB id, does it need to be in the filename or does the plug-in scrape for information? When I run the plug-in, it doesn't seem to do anything at all... I still have to manually group all my versions. I ask because I don't have the ID in the filenames of any of my movies. It uses the Server gotten metadata as this is done in the database. Which plugin are you using? Can you go over a specific example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bblick 3 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I believe I'm using Auto Movie Version Collections 1.0.0.4. Another weird issue is that when I go in and manually run the plug-in it will UNgroup things I've previously grouped. As for examples, I have multiple versions of the dark knight trilogy and upon running "batman begins" is broken out of group after it was passed over in a previous run and I manually grouped afterwards. --update-- Checking in the metadata manager, it appears the ID's are the same for these movies. Where can I find log output for the plug-in? I have a couple john wick movies with multiple versions right now that when I run the plug-in they remain untouched. The plug-in is not set to "ignore if movie is locked" and the other movies that I've had to re-group numerous times still appear to be grouped this time...

You will probably get better results from v1.0.0.0 (4.6.0.22) zip on first page. But have not seen any items get ungrouped that were grouped but specific example for @Cheesegeezerwould be needed.

bblick 3 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Forgive me, but I can't figure out if there's a way to search threads on this forum... It looks like I'm getting permission denied errors when trying to run AutoCollections. What's weird is that when it attempts to read info on certain items, it separates them from the grouping they're already in. It's only finding 7 of the movies I have with multiple versions, then when it attempts (and fails) to "regroup" them it ends up separating about 5 of the 7. I've attached the relevant server log section. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they conform to the standards laid out by XBMC (Kodi) - I have raised some tickets with their xml formatting because it DOES NOT actually confirm to xml standards. However the big worry is why your files are not accessable. If you can send the Batman Begins nfo, i can take a look at it.

GrimReaper 3294 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Your Batman NFOs are not only TMM made, you have some other software writing there. Bumblebee and District 9 are, and you have <lockdata>true</lockdata> that prevents any metadata change. You can change that in TMM settings and rewrite NFOs subsequently (right click>Enhanced editing).

NFO Files.zip 26.56 kB · 1 download Thanks for the upload and have to agree with Grimmy's comments. TMM cause a lot of problems with Emby Metadata, however if you have multiple softwares writing to the NFO they will become fragmented and impossible for software writers to cover all bases. As i understand it, Emby should conform to the XBMC standards laid out for their NFO's, however they don't. Someone correct me here, if i'm wrong. 2 minutes ago, GrimReaper said: Your Batman NFOs are not only TMM made, you have some other software writing there.

bblick 3 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Interesting! I'm not sure what other software could be writing to these nfo files. I only use TMM and I'm pretty sure I turned everything Emby does in relation to metadata off... I'll take a look and see if unlocking/rewriting does the trick here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, however it doesn't conform to multiepisodes Kodi Formats. In a way this is a good thing. Especially for my Intros Backup Plugin, however the people that use TMM are goosed because there are 2 root elements in the xml which throws an error, when trying to read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though IMHO it's Emby who's at fault here (and I know @Happy2Play will wholeheartedly disagree with me as it'd break his setup otherwise ).

bblick 3 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 So I did actually have TMM adding "locked" to the NFO, but the motivation here was to prevent emby from making any metadata changes. I also thought that this was what the "ignore if movie is locked" toggle was for in Auto Group? I can turn this off and rewrite the nfos that are having issues. The logs seem to imply that access to the file itself is denied, this wouldn't seem like something resulting from an xml element inside the file, but that's just a guess. As far as multiepisodes issue, how are we left goosed.... i don't want to be goosed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the intros Backup plugin... I can't handle the malformed XML for multiepisode, which means i can read or write to these nfo files... anyways this is off topic for this thread.

bblick 3 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) No worries, I'll take a peek. As for the assumption I made regarding "Ignore if movie is locked," was I understanding that correctly? Was my assumption also correct regarding the <locked> tag preventing file access all together to the plugin?

But in the end comes back to reverse compatibility or force users to rewrite existing metadata. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bblick 3 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 After bouncing Emby following the crash, this time it appears the setting change (changing DoNotIgnore back to True) has stuck. I re-ran manually and it appears to have worked as expected. All versions now grouped! Thanks to all for working through it with me!! I'm excited to try out more of these plug-ins, some look really useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) See first post for update V1.0.0.5 Removed Top Pick Items from the available item list re introduced the auto scanning... this will take place 1 min after an item event is detected re introduced auto run after a library scan tested against top pick plugin and there is no endless looping... but please test fixed the locked items bug.
