Fragglerock 3 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hello, I noticed a bug on Emby: some films are misidentified because it happens that several films have the same name or a similar name. This same type of bug is found with the Auto Box Sets plug-in: some collections are erroneous by adding films that are not part of the collection: in the Captain America collection (https://www.themoviedb.org/collection / 131295) ended up the movie "The Captain" (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/475094-der-hauptmann). It might be good if any new film added, we were asked to validate or not the newly identified film. A bit as if, when we open the film tab, a pop-up asks us to validate the new films discovered. By having the possibility to change the ID of the film directly and to watch it in part to be sure not to make a mistake. Manually validated films should also be blocked so that they no longer have to be modified. Because another bug sometimes appears: some films are modified by Emby after having been identified manually, we must therefore identify manually and block so that this does not happen again. In summary, an option should allow us to offer us to validate the new films discovered: poster, proposed title, file title, file size, possibility of reading and possibility of modifying in case of error by adding the ID either even. The same goes for the collection with Auto Box Sets. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragglerock 3 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I should have written this post from the start of my use of Emby, it would have avoided renaming everything now ... Thank you. Edited May 19, 2021 by Fragglerock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a "bug". It is an ambiguity in the input. As Vdata mentioned, we have ways for you to define your media that will pretty much eliminate this problem.

Fragglerock 3 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Thank you again, I'm going to work a lot (more than 6000 files to rename) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't think your suggestion would really help you out in your situation because everything would be new so it would be no different from you just looking at your library content.

Fragglerock 3 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Do you suggest not to modify all my files? I thought I had to do this in order to avoid any further modification ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi. It depends on exactly how they are structured and named. If you only had problems with movies that have ambiguous titles, then you would only need to rename those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragglerock 3 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 The files have been renamed as follows: title (1080p) .mkv either the files have kept the original title in English or in French. So I'm going to check out the problematic titles and change the title structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragglerock 3 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 For films and series, I understood how to name them. However, I have a concern about documentaries. some are well recognized as documentaries and others as films: these are recognized as documentaries: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61314-apocalypse-la-premi-re-guerre-mondiale https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/58474-cosmos but not those: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/478503-poron-vuosi https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/14002-baraka Any idea on how to name documentaries?

Or, just use the "Identify" feature to manually identify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragglerock 3 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 This is exactly what I had tried but the documentaries still did not appear. I found: when creating the file I selected "mixed content" (I don't know if this is the name in English). And miracle: everything appears. However, I cannot change the name of the folder, it remains displayed "mixed content" (in French: "contenu mixte") or so I did not find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, yes you can rename libraries after creating them by using the 3-dot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragglerock 3 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Am I tired and can't see anything or is there no way to change the name? However, I remember having given a name when creating the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
