Skip adding Sample dir to library


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Not sure if I changed something or something changed in code recently, but now I get the actual media file but also the sample which reside in a subdir scanned in to the library.

Dirs look like

Something.Here.x264-BLA/something.here.x264.mkv

Something.Here.x264-BLA/Sample/sample-something.here.x264.mkv

 

Previously the sample dir was disregarded, but as mentioned now in tv shows it shows for example episode 1 two times, once as a 50min actual episode and once as a 1min episode (the sample).

In movies library, the sample either shows as a 1min movie with same title as main, or in many cases parsed as a movie called Sample People or so.

 

Any way to fix this, without touching the media..

I noticed this as well in a recent library scan.  I don't have nested sample folders like you, but it definitely picked up some .sample files (which I didn't know were even in my library previously, and subsequently deleted).

Can you show examples of exact file names and folders? thanks.

Wish I could pinpoint more accurately when this started as well, but I'm guessing its a change within the past ~3months or so.

 

TV example:

Outlander.S03E01.1080p.WEB.H264-STRiFE/outlander.s03e01.1080p.web.h264-strife.mkv

Outlander.S03E01.1080p.WEB.H264-STRiFE/Sample/sample-outlander.s03e01.1080p.web.h264-strife.mkv

 

This becomes Season 3, episode 1 *2, first is a 54min episode and the 2nd a 1min episode(the sample)

 

Movie example:

Black.Gold.2011.LIMITED.1080p.BluRay.x264-AN0NYM0US/a-bg-1080p.mkv

Black.Gold.2011.LIMITED.1080p.BluRay.x264-AN0NYM0US/Sample/a-bg-1080p-sample.mkv

 

You will then get the Black Gold movie added as normal, but another "instance" of the movie "Sample People" pops up pointing to Black.Gold.2011.LIMITED.1080p.BluRay.x264-AN0NYM0US/Sample/a-bg-1080p-sample.mkv

 

For movies this seems to be quite random when and when it doesn't happen.

For TV it seems to be fairly consistent that this happens.
