crusher11 868 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 In my specials folder for Dexter I have a DVD extra "The Writers Discuss Season 7.mkv". For some reason this is matching as "Early Cuts: Gene Marshall (Chapter 3)". I can't figure out how to un-match it. I've tried refreshing metadata but it stays the same.

Luke 37365 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi, if it's not following our supported tv naming conventions then you can assume the results will be unexpected. Unless you can rename the file to a supported name, you'll want to just manually edit the metadata as desired, and then lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 868 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 It isn't a thing that exists, so it shouldn't match anything, which would be the expected result when not naming things via the convention. There really should be an "identify" option on an episode level, which includes an option of not matching to anything. It's being overactive and matching the 7, as that's the 7th special. It really shouldn't try that hard to match, that's going to lead to so many erroneous matches for DVD features that don't have a special listed in any database.

Luke 37365 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The problem is that it's close enough to expected naming schemes that it's hard to determine if it should be matched or not. So in this case, that's why the rules exist, so that if you do one thing you get result A, if you do another you get expected result B, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 868 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) How is it 'close enough'? It has a number in it, that's literally the only thing that's causing it to match. Some things aren't supposed to match anything so following the naming conventions won't help here. Edited February 24, 2019 by crusher11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37365 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Understood but that's how some name their files. There is no generalized way for us to know that we should be ignoring this. This is something that you will just have to fix up manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 For disc extras that don't exist in the source metadata services, use the same naming convention as you would otherwise for extras but assign a unique episode number. Using your example, I'd name it 'Dexter S00E701 The Writers Discuss Season 7.mkv'. Other season 7 specials that don't exist on thetvdb.com I'd mark as episode 7xx as well, to keep them separate from similar items in season 6 which I'd number 6xx, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 868 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 If there's no match, Emby retains the 'showname sxxeyy' prefix, which looks terrible, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37365 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Right, as previously mentioned, the best approach for these is to edit the metadata and then lock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, then you edit the metadata to remove that string and lock the metadata as Luke says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
