Vidman 589 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It seems that if a movie folder has a dash "-" in the name that the multiple version convention is not recognised within that folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4291 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) ..which makes sense as dash is used as the version delimiter. I don't think double dashes will work - but worth a try - ie \film - test \film - test\film - version1.mkv \film - test\film - version2.mkv If it doesn't, then change the directory dash to something else or remove it altogether and let the meta-data pick up the details or modify the meta-data yourself if you think it needs the dash.

Luke 37132 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Can you give an example? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul77nz 8 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) \film - test \film - test\film - version1.mkv \film - test\film - version2.mkv That naming convention works for me. Edited February 20, 2019 by Paul77nz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 So in my movies folder there was a "mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)" folder containing " mission impossible - rogue nation (2015).mkv" . Renamed the file to "mission impossible rogue nation (2015).mkv" and added "mission impossible rogue nation (2015) - uhd.Mkv". Rescanned the library and the uhd version was not accessable. Then renamed the parent folder to remove the " -" and rescanned the library and could finally access both versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this: \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)\ \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)\mission impossible - rogue nation (2015) - 1080p.mkv \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)\mission impossible - rogue nation (2015) - uhd.mkv Edited February 20, 2019 by Paul77nz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8317 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What exact naming scheme did you have issues with? I had no issue with this. \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015) \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)\mission impossible - rogue nation (2015).ext \mission impossible - rogue nation (2015)\mission impossible - rogue nation (2015) - uhd.ext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 I could not pre-select which version to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14939 Posted February 20, 2019 Solution Share Posted February 20, 2019 As documented for the multi-version system to work, the video files have to begin with the exact same text as the folder they are in. It sounds like your names did not follow this rule initially. Each version must begin with the folder name, followed by " - ". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
