judgey 13 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Hey i know there is problems with the converting que so not sure if this is already known.... When you convert some files are renamed bad, so emby can not see the media untill you rename it then emby picks it up. Is this known? Sorry if its a repost. Edited November 9, 2019 by judgey
Q-Droid 884 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I haven't seen that. What are the resulting names after conversion? Usually the chosen profile is added to the name, like "<movie name>.mkv" may convert to "<movie name> - mobile.mp4" if you're adding another version of the file. Or it uses the original name if you choose to replace the files. Either way Emby is able to recognize them after conversion...normally.
Luke 40144 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Hi there, can you please discuss an example? thanks.
judgey 13 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) ok original name is "Ace.Ventura.Pet.Detective.1994.1080p.BluRay.x264-HD4U" After conversion the name is "Ace.Ventura.Pet.Detective.1994.1080p.BluRay.x264-HD4U - mobile.mp4" After conversion emby wont pick up the converted file unless i rename it.

Q-Droid 884 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 A rescan doesn't pick it up until you rename? What is the final name that's eventually recognized?
judgey 13 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) yep after rescan it wont pick up untill i take out the space at the end like this "Ace.Ventura.Pet.Detective.1994.1080p.BluRay.x264.HD4U.mobile.mp4" EDIT - this is not on every one its just say 40% so far have had to be changed Edited November 9, 2019 by judgey
Q-Droid 884 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I'm more surprised that the original didn't have an extension in the name. @@Luke or others might have an idea of why it wasn't picked up.
judgey 13 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 sorry did not copy the .mkv on the original name
Luke 40144 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Why do you feel that it won't pick it up?
judgey 13 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 If you mean me mate, after it converts it won't show in emby the new media file unless I change it's name.
judgey 13 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 In the same folder as the original file
Luke 40144 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Where are you looking for it in the Emby interface?
judgey 13 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 It's converting to the original folder the main media was in. I look after a rescan of my library. Next time it dose it I'll take screenshots to show you
Luke 40144 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 It wasn't missed. Did you try clicking on the original one and explore what was shown there?
