Folder structure and ignored texts

[underhight 0]

Hello all!

 

I've read the movie naming setup and need a little help with this.

 

How can i add some text to a folder name in a way that this text will be ignored when emby tries to detect the media info? I need something that works the same way as in files where the content inside brackets are ignored.

 

In my scenario i need to store the different versions (eg.: 720p and 1080p) of the same movie in different paths. Eg:

 

/movies/Titanic (1997) [720p]/Titanic (1997) - 720p.mkv

/movies/Titanic (1997) [1080p]/Titanic (1997) - 1080p.mkv

 

The way i've described above doesn't work, as emby tries to fetch data with the texts "[720p]" and "[1080p]".

 

Creating a folder for files in 720p (like /movies/720p/Titanic... ) and another folder for 1080p isn't an option because the "version" isn't limited only to those types, they vary in quality, source, date and others.

 

Is there any way that i could make this work the way i described?

 

Thanks.

Hi, welcome. We do have naming conventions for multi-resolution:

If you want to go with your own convention then it might be a little tricky. Since you can't currently configure your own ignore patterns, you might just have to use the web interface to correct the content that gets mis-identified.

My problem with the current multi-resolution approach is that the files are grouped together by default in the web interface. I need then to show as different media, without needing to do any manual action to separate they.

 

Can you help me with that?

A solution that i found is to put both files in the same dir, and append a text - inside brackets - in each one. That way emby recognize then as different files.

Like this:

 

/movie/Titanic (1997)/Titanic (1997) [version 1]

/movie/Titanic (1997)/Titanic (1997) [version 2]

 

It works the way i want, but in the web interface (when searching for the media) i see 3 itens:

 

Titanic (1997) [version 1] - OK

Titanic (1997) [version 2] - OK

Titanic (1997) (a folder that doesn't show anything besides the media images) - NOT OK

 

Edi: here is a screenshot to show what i'm saying:

 

 

How can i hide that folder from showing in the web interface?

Sure. But as i said this folder item is only visible in search.
