Disney Animated Shorts Not Scraping Properly

[osak00006 12]

Hi Guys,

 

So there seems to be massive problems scraping the Disney Animated Shorts series into Emby. It either scans in as like 100 different TV shows, one for each folder, which is a nightmare... or it scans in from 1934 forward, skipping the earlier seasons, and then doesn't have any idea what to do with them... 

 

Any guidance?

You have to looks at how the metadata provider list them first.  See how TVDB lists them

TV Series. Scans in fine in Kodi. Disaster in Emby. Hoping for a fix

Oddly, I have Looney Tunes, which follows the same season year naming convention, and that scans in fine.

 

I've tried deleting all my kodi metadata, but no luck

Hi Luke,

Here are a few season folders:

thanks. and what's in the parent folder? and what do you see in the web app?

Not sure i understand your question about the parent folder. My TV paths only contains on location, the root TV directory. Then each series gets its own folder... TV/SeriesName/SeasonXX

 

The Disney Animated Shorts folder just contains an actors folder, from kodi, which is empty, and then the season subfolders, each containing videos. No metadata or images of any kind, at the moment. 

 

TV -> Disney Animated Shorts -> Season 19XX 

 

Here's what I'm seeing in Emby, after trying to rescan it again... each season shows up as a series... if I click into them, it says Media Type: Inherent

Can you also provide an emby server log:

Thanks.

Thanks.

Sure. Should I remove and re-add the folder for the log?

No, any log is fine.

This is my first time pulling an Emby log. Let me know if you need anything else

[Luke 42078]

Ok, thanks. It appears at some point you customized the content type of the Disney Animated Series folder to TV. Perhaps we should rename that to TV Library because that's really what it is. So when you do that you're telling the system that every folder underneath that is a tv series. You'll need to use the metadata manager to undo that. if you can't access it due to the morphed structure, then shutdown the server, locate

 

/usr/lib/emby-server/config/system.xml

 

and just remove the ContentTypes section.

[Happy2Play 9780]

Near the bottom of the system.xml you will see this

  <ContentTypes>
    <NameValuePair>
      <Name>:/mnt/user/TV/Disney Animated Shorts</Name>
      <Value>tvshows</Value>
    </NameValuePair>
  </ContentTypes>

That is what you will delete.  Replace with this or just save without it and it will regenerate the node.

<ContentTypes />
 

And then perform a library scan.

Making progress, but now it's only scanning some of the episodes... for example the 2016 season doesn't seem to be scanning properly... and what's even odder, it' only pushes about 70 or 500+ episodes it does scan, to Emby for Kodi

For now let's just concentrate on what it looks like in the web app.
