chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 I have it set to import titles from the metadata of files if it can't find online info, but it still sets the title of imported episodes to the filename. Is this a bug, or is that behavior only supposed to apply to movies?
Luke 42083 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Hi there, please provide an example. Thanks.
chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Posted August 17, 2022 I created a directory for "Silly Symphonies" and added it as a TV show (really a movie series, but it still works). I had, for instance, a file called "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance.mkv". In the metadata, the film's title was set to "The Skeleton Dance". When I scanned the directory for new files, the episode showed up with the name "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance" and it should have just named it "The Skeleton Dance". Or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?
Luke 42083 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 We don't parse the episode title out of the file name, so that only happens if it was able to get the title from internet metadata using the season and episode number.
chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Posted August 17, 2022 You've completely confused me now. I don't understand what you mean. It did get the episode title from the filename. It wouldn't have gotten "s1929e01 - The Skeleton Dance" from the internet.
Luke 42083 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Right, but the only way that turns into just the skeleton dance is from internet metadata.
chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Posted August 17, 2022 Okay, so I guess I don't understand what "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" does.
Luke 42083 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Embedded meaning the title is inside the video file.
chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Posted August 17, 2022 But the title is inside the video file. I've edited the MKV metadata so that the movie name is "The Skeleton Dance".
Luke 42083 Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Can you provide a sample video for testing? Thanks.
chowbok 132 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Posted August 17, 2022 Sure, here's one. s1932e10 - Hide and Seek.mkv
chowbok 132 Posted August 18, 2022 Author Posted August 18, 2022 I turned off the "Prefer embedded titles" option and turned it back on and that fixed it. Sorry, guess I should have tried that before...
