Strange. Try shutting down the server and deleting your autoorganize database from C:\Emby-Server\programdata

Then start back up and see if those sqlite errors happen again.

I can't find a database called AutoOrganize... Is called something else?

[Luke 42077]

Sorry, the folder is C:\Emby-Server\programdata\data

[AaronClarke 3]

I found fileorganization.db and removed that... Restarted the server and now they are being organised. Thanks.

Do you know why that was happening?

The plugin has changed it's database layout over the years and at some point the upgrade must not have been done correct. That and/or if you ever went back and forth from newer to older versions of the plugin, that can cause things like this.

Popping back in with another thought because this mismatch could be pretty signifigant. Another mismatch I just had made me think of this, this time saved from file loss by metadata not being available for the mismatched target series

My analysis:
Previously in Auto Organise with Emby 4.7 the matching was pretty accurate because we were searching the provider metadata directly by the filename and not querying the local library

Because Emby 4.8 is now using the internal library it is going to be somewhat difficult to ensure you have an exact match unless it is the only result returned, even then it may be wrong because you may be wanting to add a secondary series with a similar name (and the "Create new series" goes out the window in that case).

From my understanding of the issue here we simply cannot assume the first result is the correct one

For instance a couple examples based on the TVDB names. I am sure this problem extends way past the below examples.
One Piece vs One Piece (2023) vs The One Piece
The Office (US) vs The Office vs The Office (PL)
The Avengers vs The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes vs The Avengers: United They Stand
Charmed vs Charmed (2018) vs Charmed to Death 
Lost vs Lost! vs Lost (2021)
 

Sorry to dupe this thread, with the response from Aaron shortly after i posted this I was concerned it may get lost in the thread and I feel this one is probably more important than the "." issue

[Luke 42077]

Hi, please try the Auto-Organize 1.7.2 update and see if the search is more accurate. Thanks.

[kingy444 117]

Still getting similar results. 

The Series identification does seem to work OK. But the multiple series could present an issue with overwriting data when the match is not a one to one (and even then it is a little dicey)

What would your opinon be in enhancing the functionality so that the plugin allows "Automatic Mapping" Or "Semi-Automatic Mapping" ?

Thinking along the lines of, if multiple results are returned then "Semi-Automatic" would allow the user to "Match" that to the results, with an option to add that "match" to the Smart Matches so it is fully automatic next time?

[Luke 42077]

What do you mean by multiple series?

[kingy444 117]

You mentioned the new auto organise uses your current library as the source of data, so in the case where I search for say “the office” I would see results for all 3 “the office” series

 

Instead of assuming the first result is the correct one, the user would need to confirm the match before the sort to prevent a mismatch - once smart matches are built up it all essentially works in “fully automated” mode (until such time another multiple match happens)

[Luke 42077]

Right OK there's two things at play here. We had the discussion about the names separated by dots. That's what the 1.7.2 update addresses.

Given it a bit of testing and the 1.7.2 release seems to be handling the "." scenario again

What are your thoughts on the seperate "modes" for the plugin to avoid mismatches ?

[Luke 42077]

Yea that makes sense, to not auto organize when multiple series matches are found. Or an option for that rather.

[kingy444 117]

Found another case where lookup is not working
Current fix you applied works for series with Series Title but if it is Series Title (YEAR) then the lookup fails regardless of whether there is a "." in the name or not

This does not throw anything in the logs - just a failed to lookup Series Title the year is never included

This does not appear to affect all series for some reason

[Luke 42077]

Hi there, can you please provide a specific example?

Thanks.

Attached - And confirm these already exist in the library (I copied existing files into sorting)

OK I think is just an extreme, highly unusual example:

Sorting file \\10.1.0.21\Sorting\TV\Doctor Who (2023) .S01.E04...73.Yards.mp4

 

[Happy2Play 9780]

Don't know how Organizer maps as there is a mismatch in year for Doctor Who.

But yes those naming schemes are a little extreme/edge cases.

dont disagree - this was just testing because the default "Doctor.Who.(2023)" failed - kept them there for the sake of the logging you requested

that being said, remove the "." from the name and i dont think the example is extreme at all as "Doctor Who (2023) S01E04 73 Yards" yields the same results

Thats just the folder level - the metadata is mapped correctly (and also only one example). "The Tick" found to have the same issue

Edited June 11, 2024 by kingy444

[kingy444 117]

another example of a mismatch to add for testing, the correct series directory existed in the library already

Sorting file \\10.1.0.21\Sorting\Me.S01.E10...The.End.of.the.Beginning.mp4 to new path \\10.1.0.21\Media\TV\Merlin (2008)\Season 1\Merlin.S01.E10...The.Moment.of.Truth.mp4

Thanks for reporting. We'll take a look.

I'm experiecing this issue too... 

Not only does it not identiy the show but the interface no longer has the + / Plus button to add a new show. Preventing adding a new show to the collections...

Running Emby 4.8.11.0 with auto orgnaise (latest)

Hi @blakeusbladehave you setup any libraries using the tv shows content type?
