DVR: filenames

[paulsalter 84]

Andy, I think that upcoming section is just coming from tvdb, nothing todo with recordings/epg, I have removed Emby dvr and see similar in the upcoming section

 

Not sure why Luke keeps going back to SxxExx, these shows dont have this data

 

Emmerdale records today at 7pm

The only data we have is date, so emby checks tvdb and picks up the first episode for today - this is correct

 

Emmerdale records today at 8pm

The only data we have is date, so Emby checks against tvdb and picks up the first episode for today- this is wrong

yeah, i understand that. but emby has data from TVDB so imo it should use it, once recording has completed.

Good luck with getting them to change anything

 

I have been through this many times in the past, perhaps you can have more luck with the devs

 

This is the main reason i ditched Emby DVR

[Luke 42077]

I don't get why you think say that. We change things everyday based on feedback.

[andyblac644 69]

@@Luke anything you can do to better control this date / time base shows ?, when TVDB does have season / episode numbers ?

[Luke 42077]

Well this actually isn't specific to dvr although i understand why you'd think that. The same situation could happen if you setup a tv series from scratch with similarly named files.

 

I think a safe approach would be that if tvdb has multiple episodes listed from that same date, then we could correlate based on that.

[andyblac644 69]

with the change to filename Eastenders is no longer get scraped correctly it is detec scraped as a 2004 season / episodes.

 

[Luke 42077]

Right, on beta, that is to be expected, for now at least. I gave you the dvr naming, but the library scan has never supported those wmc style dates and we have to get that done before this gets released. Thanks.

also the name is a bit confusing, could we use name_2018-22-03_1930.ts name_2018-03-22_1930.ts ?

I hope not, because with yyyy-dd-mm_time you get your dvr recordings all scrambled up, like this in file explorer when sorted by name:

 

2018-01-03_1930

2018-05-02_1930

2018-10-03_1930

2018-22-02_1930

2018-22-03_1930

 

For sorting options I favor yyyy-mm-dd_time and after seeing the above I'm wondering why you favor yyyy-dd-mm ?

Are the dates used in filenames the date of recording or the original aired date?

 

ideally it should be original aired date

In one of the recent betas i changed it to use local time rather than utc.

[Senna 368]

My guide provider delivers UTC times and can confirm that recent Emby server beta fixed dvr filename timestamp, to not to use the UTC timestamp from xml, but use my local time.

 

What timestamp is in your xmltv listing @@andyblac644 for the episodes you recorded ?

@@Luke you nearly there, the date and time are now in file name, but they are 1hr hour off,

 

also, the 2 episodes now have the correct synopsis, but they share the 1st episode title can you fix this ?

Are these formats compatible with other systems?

 

I see no mention of the underscore being a valid item for date based shows on other systems (the original dash is), thinking kodi/plex

These are longtime traditional windows media center dvr formats. I would guess that most do support them, even if they are not documented.

But still the fact remains that with current dvr naming, copying an Emby dvr recording only, to an Emby TV Shows library, doesn't get the file scraped in Emby. For my setup I only see "program name_date_time_episode name". Is that still work in progress Luke, that we eventually also get Season/Episode in dvr filename when available ?

it only uses this naming format when Season / Episode is not available in epg guide data.
