Manual auto-organise doesn't do anything for 1 tv episode

[Crestj 68]

I have to auto-organise this tv show manually which always worked in the past but when I try it for this episode I get this in the log and nothing happens.

All other automatic and manual auto-organise's work fine.

 

Have restarted the server but it made no difference.

 

Any ideas?

I presume either no one else is watching Cosmos or it's just me with this issue.

because it can't match up Cosmos to Cosmos - A Space Time Odyssey

Even when I manually match it from the Auto-organise page?

Just completely removed the TV Series, deleted all folders to do with Cosmos and recreated it without the "-" so the folder is now:

 

Cosmos A Space Time Odyssey but after MB3 discovered it and fetched all the metadata it still failed to auto organise it.

 

This is fine as I have a few TV series like this but manually organising it with the arrow button on the auto-organise page doesn't work either still.

 

I tried all 4 episodes:

I don't understand why it's telling me the "target path could not be determined"

 

90% of my TV shows are sorted by auto-organise automatically and only a couple require manual intervention but this series seems to like neither!

 

The "Path" setting in the Edit page of MB shows the path perfectly: \\homeserver\Videos\TV Shows\Cosmos A Space Time Odyssey

 

Is there a target path set somewhere in an XML file that I need to check?

[Koleckai Silvestri 1154]

Have this occur for some series and have to manually sort them myself. Never really put a lot of thought into it.

 

Would be nice if you matched a pattern to a specific show, if the system remembered that for next time though.

[Crestj 68]

It's not that it isn't sorting them automatically, I can live with that.

 

The problem is that it can't even sort it when I use the manual method and pick the series it is from the drop down menu.

Yeah, I occasionally get the same. Usually when the folder name for the series doesn't match the entry on thetvdb.com exactly or the season folder doesn't exist. I have had a couple refuse to sort in the past because MediaBrowser hadn't downloaded any metadata yet.

[Crestj 68]

Hmmm, seems I will just have to move it in Explorer and rename it manually and let MB3 pick it up.

Glad its not just me!

Could it be something to do with the file path being too long?  Sometimes I encounter that when unRARing files with really long names.

Not to resurrect an old thread but I searched for my problem and this matched the closest. I have a single episode that won't organize, even manually. The one thing I noticed it your title on TVDB and in my episode name is that they both have colons. Is there a problem with colon (since that means something else entirely in a path)?

All the other episodes of this organized, but this one special (which I tried manually typing and even tried renaming to s00e36 so it would automatch) refuses to move.

So much for that theory. After seeing it fail with the same target path error every 15 minutes, at 10:45PM it decided to work and sorted it into the proper folder. As far as I can tell, no changes were made on tvdb to the episode info.
