Luke 25344 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Hi, we don't really do that for episodes. What generally happens is the server will get internet metadata and use the title from that, otherwise it falls back to the file name. Link to post Share on other sites

Luke 25344 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 What is the file name? Link to post Share on other sites

Happy2Play 4249 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Pretty sure the issue is Emby will parses the episode file name for season and episode number, not the episode folder as this level was added not long ago and is currently not in the knowledge base as a supported structure. But it is always best to show complete structure. TV Shows The Mandalorian The Mandalorian.S01E01.xx.xx.xx.xx.xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.mkv I have not tested but do you see the same result with the addition of a actual Season 1 folder?

tweekin 0 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 thanks for the reply -i added a season 1 folder but no change - still picking up the file name and displaying that Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 4249 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 @Luke will have to comment but I don't believe episode folder name has ever been used as I believe this is the first time this scenario has ever come up with episode name not being the same as episode folder name.

tweekin 0 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 thanks - just so i understand what you are saying - do you mean the file name needs to have the episode name in it ? Link to post Share on other sites
tweekin 0 Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 Just used to work in plex - that's why i am a bit confused as to what format the structure should be Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 4249 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 No one so far has had different folder and filenames for episodes. Luke added episode level folders not long ago as they were not supported. But currently documented structure and naming are in the KB. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming @cayars episode folders will need to be added to the kb, but will need confirmation from Luke on requirements.

Rename the 8ffxxxxxxxxxxx.mkv file to The.Mandalorian.S01E01.mkv Just 'edit' the folder, copy the first part of the folder name, then paste it over the 8fffffxxxxxxxx...takes two seconds. Then make sure your folder and files structure is: The Mandalorian - Season 1 - The.Mandalorian.S01E01.mkv There are ways to automate this, but if you are just obtaining the file once a week, then just do it manually. Next week, once you have the file, just rename the new 8ffxxxxxxx.mkv to The.Mandalorian.S01E02.mkv and drop that file into The Mandalorian - Season 1 folder....rinse and repeat....

But looks like file name restriction applies as file name is uses not folder name for episodes. Library The Mandalorian The Mandalorian S01E01 (episode folder) The Mandalorian S01E01.mkv Library The Mandalorian Season 1 The Mandalorian S01E01 (episode folder) The Mandalorian S01E01.mkv But to me this is a edge case that was added not long ago.

PenkethBoy 1859 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 if you can get sonarr working - radarr and lidarr are just as "easy" i think there is a bazarr for subs as well Link to post Share on other sites
