Starlionblue 82 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 If I have episodes of a show that hasn't previously been catalogued by Emby in the search directory for Auto-Organize, and then I create a directory for the show, Auto-Organize will run concurrently with Scan Media Library. This leads to episodes in the show being copied to the correct directories with show name and season/episode number only. No episode name.
Luke 42080 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 i don't really understand all of that but the first part is by design. auto-organize does not create new series, only adds to existing ones
Starlionblue 82 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Sorry, I'll try to be more clear. - I get new episodes for a show that I don't have a directory for yet, and is thus not in Emby yet either. These episodes are in the directory where Auto-Organize looks. - I now create the show directory. Emby runs "Scan Media Library". - While "Scan Media Library" is running, Emby starts "Organize New Media Files". - "Organize New Media Files" chucks the new episodes in the correct order in the directory for the new series. However since this is a brand new show in Emby and "Scan Media Library" has not yet finished, most episodes only have Series name and season/episode number. They are missing the episode title. E.g. "The West Wing - 4x02 - "
Luke 42080 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 ok, yes, we'll have to skip the organize if the series hasn't been identified yet, and then just let the next pass organize it 1

softworkz 5069 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 i don't really understand all of that but the first part is by design. auto-organize does not create new series, only adds to existing ones A feature for creating new series from within the auto-organize dialog is implemented already, but hasn't been included in the Emby codebase as of today. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/pull/1202 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will happen soon...
