Musera 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just need help getting Auto Organize to work as I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. This is what I've currently got: click spoiler tags to see folder structure of the source and destination directories Source Directory G:\source\ ---Arrow.s01e08.mkv ---Macross Frontier.s01e01.mkv Destination directory X:\Destination\ (this is a mapped network drive) X:\Destination\Arrow\ X:\Destination\Arrow\season 0\ X:\Destination\Arrow\season 1\ X:\Destination\Macross Frontier\ X:\Destination\Macross Frontier\season 1\ Both series have been added to the media library and scrapped correctly, as well as having matching series name to the destination directory (which is also shown correctly). Click the following spoiler tag for all auto-organize settings: Enable new episode organization ---checked Watch folder ---G:\source\ Minimum file size (MB) ---30 (All files are several hundred MB so easily over this) Season folder pattern ---season %s result shown: season 1 Season zero folder name ---season 0 Episode pattern ---%sn.s0%se%0e.%ext result shown: Series Name.s01e04.mkv Multi-Episode pattern ---%sn.s%0se%0e-%0ed.%ext result shown: Series Name.s01e04-05.mkv Transfer method: ---Move Overwrite existing episodes ---unchecked (no episodes in destination directory so this option cannot be interfering) Delete left over files with the following extensions --- Delete empty folder after organizing ---Unchecked So now that all the setting are out of the way, my activity log shows 2 (of 2) failed file transfers both due to "target path could not be determined". Clicking the "Organize file" button shows that it successfully gets the season and episode number but doesn't get the series name. Setting this manually and clicking save however does absolutely nothing. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musera 0 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Both series I'm testing with have tvdb id's set and have correctly scraped information from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 For starters, make sure the series in your library have tvdb id's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhys.jones 0 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Did you manage to resolve this? I'm very new to MB too and having the same problem. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract 5 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Discovered that auto-organize was for collections last night and very pleased - yet more excellent work by the Media Browser team!! Finally, I (hope I) can drop Media Scout and YAMMM completely and have a seemless, automatically organised and named collection. :-) Have auto-organise (couldn't find it in the search due to the "auto-organiZe" everyone is using, ahhh common-language and all that) functioning in most cases, but have found one or two tricky scenarios - could anyone answer/help or suggest possible remedies for... American Dad! - TVDB ID listed - title is "American Dad!" (with the exclamation mark), However new files are typically "American.Dad.SxxExx...".(not including an exclamation mark). None of these sort - always giving the error "Unable to sort....[XYZ]...because target path could not be determined.". Is this due to the exclamation mark? Have already tried: Renaming all files and folders to "American Dad" (without the exclamation mark), and also changing the meta to reflect this. Renaming all files and folders to "American Dad!" (with exclamation mark), and the meta to reflect this. (Updating the library each time) Changing the "Sort Name" within metadata manager, but this doesn't seem to be relevant to the Auto-Organise feature. Just a note: files are of .mp4 format in case this is relevant. I also notice in the log that it recognises the series name as "american.dad!." and the season and episode correctly. All relevant season folders are present. Also had similar issues with "The Newsroom (2012)", which was listed as such, folder named as such with the TVDB ID also listed. No success in sorting - However, changing the folder name to "The Newsroom" (dropping the identifier "(2012)", which was necessary for the meta to detect correctly first time (using Media Scout originally)) then it successfully resolved the location and auto-organised successfully - however, shouldn't the folder name really be irrelevant - I presume it looks up the series first and then finds the location from the series record? Any suggestions, solutions or ideas about American Dad above - does Auto-Organise struggle when non-standard characters are within a title or folder name? Thanks again for ANOTHER awesome feature! EDIT: just add note that the files are .mp4 fomat. EDIT 2: added log file server-63555755621.txt Edited January 2, 2015 by abstract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract 5 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong? Or is this an issue with special characters? Looking again at the log file (above), the following is interesting - it actually recognises the series, season, episode correctly and identifies the correct destination, but still throws the same error... 2015-01-02 20:39:27.9015 Info - App: Sorting file E:\Other\Downloads\American.Dad.S11E06.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.mp42015-01-02 20:39:27.9015 Debug - App: Extracted information from E:\Other\Downloads\American.Dad.S11E06.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.mp4.

Luke 36879 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 the message could be better but there is no such entry for s11e06 http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=73141&seasonid=577232&lid=7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Similar issue here I keep getting on many of the shows the error like this, Unable to determine series name from D:\Downloads\Done Downloads\The.100.S02E07.mp4 It has TVDB entries and have been added flawlessly for months and now recently I have had many shows not move automatically and have thrown this error.

It worked great for season one and some of season 2, it gives up too easily lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the issue - this is a series that has been mis-listed many times over the years, with the UK broadcast running Season 1 & 2 as Season 1. I think I'll have to have a few hours reorganising the entire set. Thank you, great work on this incredibly useful feature. Ripping some new box sets from Christmas onto our media box at the moment and it is working like a dream. One request - would it be possible to add an option within Libraries to allow media browser server to rename the files (not only when doing the auto-organise) - it'd be great to have the server process all the media and rename as per chosen naming conventions/standards? (Though, I guess I could simply dump all files into my auto-organise folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Alright now its not making sense, im getting it for every show now. Unable to determine series name from D:\Downloads\Done Downloads\The.Simpsons.S26E10.HDTV.x264-ASAP.mp4 Unable to determine series name from D:\Downloads\Done Downloads\Family.Guy.S13E07.HDTV.x264-ASAP.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getumzz 13 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Same problem here. All my shows is "Unable to determine" Im running server Version 3.0.5482.1 and it worked perfect before the last or second to last update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaithis 2 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If anyone is still having the issue, I've just been through the pain of it myself after a re-install and solved it by going into the metadata manager, selecting the root of the TV branch and refreshing all the metadata.

Luke 36879 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The issue in this thread was created on the dev branch and fixed in the dev branch - meaning, it never went out to the public at all. So if you're not running dev builds then please see how to report a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
