Visionaire 2 Posted September 19 Posted September 19 Hey, I have a problem with the newest Version of Emby. It broke my Multi-Version Naming Convention. It will show the full movie name instead of the version of this movie. For example lets take Tenet. My folder structure is as follows: W:\Movies\Tenet\Tenet (2020)\Tenet (2020) - 4K Remux.mkv W:\Movies\Tenet\Tenet (2020)\Tenet (2020) - 4K.mkv now it should only show 4K Remux and 4K as versions but it shows the whole movie name and the version. like Tenet (2020) - 4K Remux and Tenet (2020) - 4K instead of 4K Remux and 4K it never did that before this exact update. Can anyone help?

pwhodges 2132 Posted September 19 Posted September 19 The base folder name is "Tenet" when it should be "Tenet (2020)". Why do you have the extra folder in the middle, anyway? Paul 1
pwhodges 2132 Posted September 19 Posted September 19 The base folder should be "Tenet (2020)". Why has Emby changed its behaviour? Probably in the course of fixing something else - cases which got away with it before now don't. Paul 1

Neminem 1984 Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Hmm why this extra folder? W:\Movies\Tenet\Tenet (2020)\Tenet (2020) - 4K Remux.mkv W:\Movies\Tenet\Tenet (2020)\Tenet (2020) - 4K.mkv 1

With and without the extra folder because it worked for me. but it doesnt anymore. I tried without the extra folder but the same problem appears.
Neminem 1984 Posted September 20 Posted September 20 Ok hmm. Just tried this. /Tenet (2020)/Tenet (2020) - 4K.disc /Tenet (2020)/Tenet (2020) - 4K_Remux.disc Removing the underscore and replacing with at space, shows this. /Tenet (2020)/Tenet (2020) - 4K.disc /Tenet (2020)/Tenet (2020) - 4K Remux.disc 2

visproduction 379 Posted September 22 Posted September 22 Without testing - Suspect old version .nfo causing name sticking. Try removing the .nfo file, if you have them and rescaning the library.
js28194 76 Posted September 22 Posted September 22 If it matters much, this has always worked for me. The dashes and spaces it turns out are crucial. Also a heads up, if you have any movie with the themoviedb puts a "colon :" the folder and file must have a "dash -" to replace the colon or you will experience the same issue as you have above. K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-1080p.mkv K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-2160p Remux.mkv K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-2160p.mkv Side bar... is .disc a valid extension? Did not know that.

Neminem 1984 Posted September 22 Posted September 22 @js28194Try this on your movie K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-1080p.mkv K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-2160p Remux.mkv K:\Movies\Tenet(2020)\Tenet (2020) - Bluray-2160p.mkv Remove the ( - ) in Blueray-XXXXX.mkv And then insert a ( ) space.
js28194 76 Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Deeply committed to the spaces and dashes at this point. I'm positive coming through you that your solution is valid. @VisionaireTrust us, you want .nfo files next to you media files if nothing else. Too many threads here people trying to back there way into updating paths when they had to change a drive letter or storage issues. It will save you significant headaches in the future. What a strange process media stubs... I didn't even know that is a thing. Is that for people with CD/DVD/VHS Changers (OTV setup from 1995... look it up kids)??? Isn't everything online? Why would anything purposely be stored "offline". It's a rhetorical question btw.

I use it often to test scenario's like this For me its a testing tool, so I don't have to copy large files to my test server
bkettering 7 Posted September 29 Posted September 29 +1 to Paul, the extra Tenet folder is the issue. move it so its Movies\Tenet (2020)\Tenet (2020) - 4K Remux.mkv and Tenet (2020) - 1080p.mkv etc. the part after the dash becomes the version name. then scan and they should group again 2

Can anyone help? What happens with this example is it wants to trim the common names and show only the remainder. But since they both start with Tenet (2020) - 4K, this causes the second one to be empty. As a result, it aborts entirely and shows the original file names. We can look at improving this, but you can also solve this by adding something to the end of the second file, such as 4K Original or something like that.
crusher11 1359 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Isn't it supposed to take everything after the folder name and the dash?

Clackdor 129 Posted October 27 Posted October 27 40 minutes ago, crusher11 said: Either it takes everything after the dash, or it trims common leading items, it can't do both. I have multiple library folders for different resolutions, and my naming convention is an example of how this is possible Movies in my 1080p folder are named as Movies/Movie Name (year)/Movie Name (year) - [Remux-1080p] or Movies/Movie Name (year)/Movie Name (year) - [WebDL-1080p] Movies in my 4K folder are named as Movies/Movie Name (year)/Movie Name (year) - [Remux-2160p] or Movies/Movie Name (year)/Movie Name (year) - [WebDL-2160p] If I have both a 1080p remux and a 4k remux then the version selection will just show the resolution ie 1080p or 2160p. It drops everything else. If I have a 1080p WebDL and a 2160p Remux then I'll see WebDL-1080p or Remux-2160p in the version selection.
Visionaire 2 Posted October 30 Author Posted October 30 Guys, I'm managing my server for years now. It never did this. I have over 200 movies named like I mentioned above. It still works they are shown correctly. This problem only appeared after the mentioned update. Movies I named like shown above before the update were not affected by this update. So the problem is not how I named the folders and or movies because it worked before the update.
Visionaire 2 Posted October 30 Author Posted October 30 Beautiful. Now the recent update changed it on my old movies as well. Can you please release an update that reverts to the old naming convention?
