Media Server Not Detecting Files In Home Video Mode

[mbc0 68]

Hi,

 

I am having a problem with Media Browser Server not detecting all my files.... 

 

Here is one of the path's not being detected

 

\\HPSERVER\Video Pool - Sport\Motorsport\WRC\2013\Round 03 Mexico

 

Inside the folder are the following files

 

Round 03 Mexico Day 01.mkv

Round 03 Mexico Day 02.mkv

Round 03 Mexico Day 03.mkv

 

With this file structure only Round 03 Mexico Day 01.mkv is being detected & Day 2 & 3 are being ignored

 

If I place the files in \\HPSERVER\Video Pool - Sport\Motorsport\WRC\2013\ then all 3 Days are detected! 

 

Please can somebody throw me a bone as to what is going on :-D 

 

Many Thanks Guys...

I did wonder if it was something to do with the naming convention... Unfortunately ALL of my motorsport archives are named this way but I though setting the folder content to Home Video media browser would ignore naming conventions... can you please advise the easiest way around this issue? 

 

Also, I cannot see the files using the web client :-( 

 

Many Thanks

Thank you for your reply, 

 

I would need to rename the files to make sure they stay in order... Some events that I archive have 5-6 days or stages, also holiday videos are ordered in day 1, 2 etc or something simular... Is there a media folder I can create for these situations or what renaming method could I use so that files would stay in order?

 

The wiki doesn't list any naming conventions for the Home Video folder so I assumed it would be ignored....

 

Many Thanks

those numbering schemes are following the multi-part video convention, so #2 and #3 are being detected as part 2 and part 3. if you go into the web client you can see all parts listed.

[mbc0 68]

Been trying so many different ways to do this :-( can anyone help please?

 

Thanks

[Luke 42078]

It's being looked into.

Any news on this yet fella's? I am unable to rename in a fashion that keeps the files in order & stop mb3 from grouping them as multipart

 

This affects all my home videos (day1, day2 etc)

Motorsport (WRC Day1, Day2 etc)

Formula 1 - (Round1, Round2 etc)

 

Is it possible to add a folder type that ignores all of this or a naming convention that will keep my files in order and not group the files?

 

Many Thanks

You could hack it and set it up as a trailer folder type or music videos. that will of course have side effects. but right now it is operating as expected. 

 

Another option is putting the videos in separate folders.

Thanks for the reply Luke, can you please give me a heads up on what the side effects will be?

for trailers the server will try to find internet metadata for them. for both trailers and music videos client apps may present those in movie/music sections.

Still detects them as multipart when using those folder types :-(

Will there not ever be a fix for this situation? (I mean is it on any kind of todo list?) 

 

I am stuck both ways, I cannot find a way to name the files so mbs will not detect them as multi-part and I cannot have a folder type that will ignore naming conventions :-(

[Luke 42078]

make sure you're on the latest server because it should not be doing that.

Version 3.0.5190.18410

[mbc0 68]

Ok, now on Version 3.0.5192.19560

[Luke 42078]

Well that's not the latest but it should be close enough. Can you post a screenshot of your media library setup? just want to make sure the right folder type was chosen. thanks.

[Luke 42078]

Also, one trick you might be able to try it take the number off of the first part. So instead of Video 1.mkv, just call it Video.mkv. if any single video doesn't follow the multi-file pattern, they will all be treated as separate.

The problem I have with that is how do I label multi-day events to be watched and displayed in order? 

 

i.e. WRC Mexico Day1, 2, 3 ----- Australia Holiday, Day 1, 2 etc ---- formula 1, round 1, 2 ,3 etc?

[Luke 42078]

I am not sure but your best bet is to make sure they're not colliding with the multi-part convention. Maybe you could try a suffix after the number, like Day 1_.mkv.

ok, thanks for your help I will keep trying... are there any plans to ever have a folder that you can put what you like in and naming conventions will be ignored by mbs?

[Luke 42078]

If there's more demand for it sure.

How bout using Roman numerals I V X for numbering the files and entering the actual number in the sort title field to keep them in order?
