Regarding the issue of multiple versions

[wyhghost 0]

The multi version naming method I have been using before is to add [xxx] after the folder name,for example:

Quote

 

/movie name

/movie name/movie name.mp4

/movie name/movie name[Raw].mkv

/movie name/moviename.ass

/movie name/moviename.png

/movie name/moviename.nfo

 

Both before and now, this method was available as it automatically recognizes two videos as two versions of the same movie.

I encountered an issue after updating version 4.8.0.80,

The system will automatically prioritize the [Raw] version, which causes cover files and nfo files with the same file name as the movie to not be used.(moviename.png,moviename.nfo)

What are the default video judgment criteria in multi version videos and is there a way to modify them,May I ask if there is a way to solve this problem？

For many reasons, using the dash method is inconvenient for me,May I continue to use this method to name multiple versions of movies？

Thanks!

After this version update, most of the multi version movies are the same as before, but some movies have encountered the issue of using [Raw] as the default media, as I mentioned earlier

Also, everything is normal in folder mode as before

 

This has caused me to search for a movie now, but there is no metadata and cover in the "Popular Results" section, and there is metadata and cover in the "Movie" section

I just tried following the naming convention

Quote

/movie name

/movie name/movie name - Chs.mp4

/movie name/movie name - Raw.mkv

/movie name/moviename.chs.ass

/movie name/poster.png

 

The system automatically generated two metadata files, which are:movie name - Raw.nfo,movie name - Chs.nfo

When I modify metadata, I only modify one nfo file,

When I opened from "Movies" and "Popular Results" in search, I modified  “movie name - Raw.nfo”,

When I opened from "folder" and "Movies" in search, I modified  “movie name - Chs.nfo”

In addition, subtitle files can only be loaded into one version, and subtitle file names must also be named after the movie name and version,It seems that the previous version 4.7.14.0 was not like this.

HI, yes this is by design. Each version has it's own subtitles because the files could be different.

But when I modify metadata, I only modify one nfo file,I think this is a problem, or is it intentionally designed?

Also, I heard that the characters in [] are not recognized, is that so?

The versions are still their own items, but just joined in the user interface, so yes, some metadata is still separate between then.

What do you  mean? Can you please provide an example?

我之前一直用的多版本命名方法是在文件夹名称后加上[xxx]，例如：

以前和现在，这种方法都可用，因为它会自动将两个视频识别为同一部电影的两个版本。

我在更新版本 4.8.0.80 后遇到了一个问题，

系统会自动优先选择[Raw]版本，导致与影片文件名相同的封面文件和nfo文件不被使用。（moviename.png，电影名称.nfo）

多版本视频中默认的视频判断标准是什么，有没有办法修改，请问有没有办法解决这个问题？

由于很多原因，使用破折号方法对我很不方便，我可以继续用这种方法命名多个版本的电影吗？

谢谢！

When I use this naming format, two files are recognized as multiple versions.

In addition, my movie name is "[studio] movie name", and when I recognized your movie name as "movie name", [studio] was ignored.

My movie library does not rely on Internet scraping. Metadata is added manually.

If that's the case, I think the current multi version logic is very unfriendly to such libraries, just like the problems I described above.

OK. If you were to remove the library and add it back with the home videos content type, then this shouldn't happen anymore.

还行。如果您要删除库并将其与家庭视频内容类型一起添加回去，则不应再发生这种情况。

I understand now. Is there a better solution to the issue of two nfo files for multi version movies and the movie library for manually adding data that I mentioned earlier?

HI, it's something we need to look at improving.
