Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I have tried everything. Emby also refuses to merge them into albums/seasons. Not a single thing of metadata is collected. I have everyone exactly as it should be and I've tried it all. Please let me know what log or screens you need to help me fix this. Edited November 8, 2023 by Armalog
Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Every episode has a subfolder inside it under seasons containing only that one episode. This is done with every single episode under my TV folder.
GrimReaper 4740 Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in How to Report a Problem. How are your files named and organized? What library fetchers you have enabled and in what order? You can post server log and a screenshot or two showing your TV shows root and one series folder.
Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I am only trying to accomplish the initial setup. I am using win10 and brave with rar2fs. All my movies have worked with a few exceptions. Showname/ShownameSeasonNr/ShownameEpisodeNr i.e The.Office.US.1080p.BluRay.x264/The.Office.US.S01.1080p.BluRay.x264/The.Office.US.S01E01.1080p.BluRay.x264. But I have tried all the different variants. From having all episodes from all shows in the same folder thinking Emby merge option would work, to having just main folders for different shows with all the episodes from all seasons in those. Back to first one now again, like in the example. Tried a number of variatons of fetchers and orders of them, noone has changed anything, still ZERO metadata. Now it's back to : TheTVDB TheMovieDb The Open Movie Database Sure I can I'll get some screens of folder not contaning any actual pirated data, wink wink. In the middle of a new library scan of the TV show section so I'll let that finish and then get the log. Edited November 8, 2023 by Armalog
GrimReaper 4740 Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Yeah, though not the tidiest folder naming, it should generally work albeit I suspect number of those shows get queried with full folder name as no year cutoff and not getting any hits. Anyway, server log should show what's actually hapenning, let's wait for that one. TV Naming
Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) The thing is that with my movies, if there is any confusion with year there is still metadata, and the fact that not one single show gets any data at all is what baffles me. I can't change the names as they are part of other scenes, would be nice if emby works with the original scene naming scheme. And again, when there's an issue with a movie it's normally that emby finds the wrong metadata, it very rarely leaves a blank for movies, although that has happened too with no explanation.

This is done with every single episode under my TV folder. I believe this is your problem. Put the episode files directly into the season folder. The closer you follow Emby's naming recommendations, the better your experience will be (this applies to Movies too). https://emby.media/support/articles/TV-Naming.html https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html Paul
Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) This was just me trying another solution someone told me. I started of with the naming scheme you support, I am now back to that. Either way, I get zero metadata no matter what version I try. This is odd. My movies work fine, well mostly. I can't just rename scene releases. Edited November 8, 2023 by Armalog
Neminem 1519 Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Quote Also I can't just rename original scene releases. Why not ? Its your files right ?
Guest Armalog Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Because they are still part of my share, on the scene. Even if I had enough money to double down on my hdd's, renaming thousands of folders aint going to happen. This is what you have scripts for, and I don't code. Also, I like that naming scheme. I'll try it on one show and see it that helps but I doubt it. Yeah so I tried following your naming scheme and it still isn't pulling any metadata, even though it does it from my movies. There's something else wrong here. New log file. embyserver.txt Anyway, I can use the identify option. It's an amazing app you have created. Thanks. Edited November 8, 2023 by Armalog
pwhodges 2012 Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 You have a problem with your Series folder names. Looking at your earlier log, I see, for example, that TVDB is being queried for, and failing to identify, a series called "Ahsoka.HDR.2160p.WEB.H265". Try naming your series with just the name (and maybe the start year in parentheses). I have a couple of series where I have different versions of the same series (e.g. original and remastered); in those cases I have added "original" and "remastered" to the name, but then I needed to add the TVDB id (in the format "[tvdbid=nnnnnn]") as well to force recognition. Paul
Guest Armalog Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 I actually did try to rename all the folders with name.year and then it worked for a couple, like 6 out of 30. One of them, thebear.2020, the show about the chef (Jeremy Allen White) was identified as some really weird anime about something with nipples and a bear. Anyway, the identify option is good enough I guess.

In case of doubt, looking up on TVDB manually first should enable you to resolve any oddities. Paul

Like almost 99% of my movies got id' correctly even with scene names? I have another issue where one or two movies won't get at all added no matter what. Is there a way to manually add movies to an existing library? I'm not a coder but if you can manage what you already have, is it that hard to have the script work with other naming schemes?
Neminem 1519 Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 Here is how I name my folders, seasons and episodes. Series Folder Format : The Series Title's! (2010) [TvdbId=12345] Seasons : Season 01 Episodes : Single Episode: The Series Title's! - S01E01 - Episode Title Multi Episode: The Series Title's! - S01E01-02 - Episode Title

There's multiple entities involved here, not just Emby. The name of your folder gets sent directly to the tvdb search engine, and when you name your folder "thebear.2020" without any spaces between words, then they come back with Save the Barn as the best match. So general rule of thumb, the more you keep things simple, the more you'll find things will just work without having to deal with these headaches.

It was actually The.Bear.2022, doesn't period translate into space? Seems like an easy fix. But that's ok, everything is fine. Now I have other issues with ssl but I'll take them to the right thread. Consider this issue solved I guess. The samples is till an issue, the fix provided where you set sample size to 0 doesn't work for me.

pwhodges 2012 Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 Yeah - we're stuck with editing the content to nothing. That's just how it is here. I wouldn't mind if there were a time limit on deletion (e.g. no longer than an hour/day after posting) so that you can't rewrite history, which could be used maliciously. But there's a particular bug in the software which makes it especially easy to post duplicate posts, and immediate deletion in that situation would be an obvious thing to allow. Paul
