The top level folder is being put under tv shows, but contains 50 movies - i have only added movies to Emby at the moment, so I can easily see which ones are misidentified.

Haven't checked every single one, but they are all under EN children/family

Ok,

attach your config files so I can load it into mine and see what's going on.

You can now download each set of keywords at the end of the input box.

 

Thanks

When you take a look at the configs, can you look at live tv VODs - looks like my ignore list is not being ignored

Alright so I spun up another windows machine. I think it finished correctly. There are a few mistakes in the first part of the TV/Movies with dates that are missing characters. @mickle026Can I send you the logs for you to check and see if things are ok on the system end?

AAARRRGGHHH. Solve one problem, and another one appears (although it may have already been there, but I was looking at others stuff)

I have a folder created called 'EN CHILDRENFAMILY'. m3u calls the folder |EN| CHILDREN/FAMILY

Entered in the override field, but still be detected as tv shows

 

 

 

I think I have identified this error.

It was due to the channel name parsing, which worked flawlessly until your latest m3u file. 
There was a line that was causing issues,  I have modified the code to handle this situation as well as the others.

Let me know if the issue persists

Altered the descriptive text, I hope this makes sense now - if not let me know

Damn I thought I was in the clear. TV shows under VOD look like this:

All folders written, but not many strm files from the latest dll
 

Checking it.....

The option to remove channels that are not in a group works perfectly.

Children/family now named as family, but still under tv shows (haven't added to override - not sure whether I can still put EN CHILDREN/FAMILY or whether I need to put something else)

I Hope I have fixed the no output strms files  introduced last build

 

I am still testing it, but here is the dll i am currently testing

VODtoSTRMscheduledTask.dll

[gillmacca01 211]

I might have jumped the gun. It turns out, for some reason, that it is deleting all my VODs.

Re-running it again to see what happens, but will now take hrs because it had deleted so much.

Not sure if the deleting is the plugin, or some issue with the m3u

If its the last DLL I posted, I altered the name sanitising function to: instead of removing / , it replaces it with _, So EN| CHILDREN/FAMILY will change from EN CHILDRENFAMILY to EN CHILDREN_FAMILY

It would delete all the previous and re-write them with their newer formatted names

[gillmacca01 211]

I have run the latest dll and this is what i see for that folder

[mickle026 650]

You are correct, sorted (I hope)

Also added a change into the season & Episode parser, to try & exclude more  movie inputs ending up with season folders

back to work again ...

Still seeing issues with latest dll.

If you want to see what I see, load movies only into a mixed content library. Looks like some of the movies been displayed at tv shows, is down to numbers again

[BigIrn 10]

I've updated to 24 and running it now.

[BigIrn 10]

Yeah this isn't working well either. Movies and TV Shows are being identified as media instead of top level folders.

Hi Team, using a url produces nothing for me, are there still issues using a url rather than saving locally?

No, use the latest dll in the thread rather than the first post , if you still experience errors let me know

Not sure what this means.

 

 

This should now handle some edge cases that were not being respected, like these, if there are any more, let me know
I still need to test it, but I have coded for it to handle them and not create season folders, or strip the names of what it thinks is season/episode info
 

                // Movies with numbers directly tied to their titles
                "11.22.63 (2016)",
                "9-1-1 (2018)",
                "9-1-1 Lone Star (2020)",
                "70_30 (2021)",
                "70 30 (2021)",
                "50_50 (2011)",
                "50 50 (2011)",
                "Room 237 (2012)",

                // Movies with two-letter names
                "Us (2019)",
                "Ma (2019)",
                "It (2017)",
                "Up (2009)",
                "Pi (1998)",

                // Edge cases with unconventional numeric formatting
                "Fahrenheit 451 (2018)",
                "The 400 Blows (1959)",
                "1984 (1984)",
                "1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992)"

Updated to 25 and running now.

[mickle026 650]

I would like to know your opinions.

Are we now out of the big problems that occur and into the fine tuning stage?

Or are the still any big problems (apart from the movie @BigIrnmention with not root folder - I will test it again with his m3u later)

[gillmacca01 211]

I'm running 125 on my laptop (away again). This is a fresh run (no created m3u's or VODs)

Under Override for movies, have I entered this correctly - EN CHILDREN_FAMILY,EN HORROR_THRILLER

For me personally, it looks like everything I want to import is importing via m3u url correctly - any issues left are correct detection, and some naming issues (some of the detection issues could be down to my config) and possibly ignore list not working for Live TV
