invader 16 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I’ve looked at the supported format in: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming Which shows the following format: show name - S01E01 - Display Name 1.ext show name - S01E01 - Display Name 2.ext I was thinking that it would just be the last hyphen that was the trigger but perhaps me having more hyphens after show name and episode name is causing issues. Here are my tests: My original chosen naming style is: Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1-1080p.x264.AAC Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1-1080p.x265.AAC These show up in the Emby drop down like this: I assumed the lack of spaces on the last hyphen were the issue. So I changed them: Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1 - 1080p.x264.AAC Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1 - 1080p.x265.AAC These show up in the Emby drop down like this (same thing): I realise that the Emby recommended format doesn’t include the episode name. So I tired: Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - 1080p.x264.AAC.mp4Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - 1080p.x265.AAC.mp4 Same thing in the Emby drop down: Now this is where things get weird. If I add all 4 variations of the formats that I already tested individually. IE I have:Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - 1080p.x264.AAC.mp4 Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - 1080p.x265.AAC.mp4 Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1 - 1080p.x264.AAC.mp4 Batman - The Animated Series - S01E01 - The Cat and the Claw, Part 1 - 1080p.x265.AAC.mp4 I get this: The highlighted 2 are exactly what I want and was expecting. But when I have these 2 files by themselves I don’t get the same result. Long story short I think either there is a bug or I’m asking for a feature request of just looking at what’s after the last hyphen and showing that in the drop down.

Happy2Play 8250 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 There is really no naming scheme restriction for TV as they will get grouped by Season/Episode informations, but don't know how the drop down label applies to each version specifically. But I can say testing what you provided above, I get the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 What shows up in the drop down is the first character that differs from any other episode name. So in your initial test the names are identical until the x264 and x265, which is why the drop down names start with 4 and 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It trims off all common characters starting from the beginning and only shows you what's remaining from the right-hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be better to be show everything after the last hyphen. Maybe it’s more designed for things like “directors cut” etc. and people aren’t using it for different encoded versions.

crusher11 851 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It works that way for movies (I have two versions of The Shining labeled "US Cut" and "UK Cut"), just not for episodes. Not entirely sure why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
