TV Shows not grouping

[dcol 175]

Have a new issue with the renaming. This time, I don't think the XML has anything to do with it. But I do believe because Emby does not use a normal naming convention, this is the result.

 

All shows with a season and Episode number process the title correctly. If there is no S/E then the title is appended with today's date/time.

Here is an example from the XML, and in this example the colon was removed and date/time appended to the filename after it was transcoded by Emby.

  <programme start="20181025150000 +0000" stop="20181025160000 +0000" channel="EPG123.56905.schedulesdirect.org">
    <title>Building Off the Grid: Edge of Maine</title>
    <desc>A creative family builds a three-story tiny house full of clever features in Maine; but with limited experience and a three-month deadline, they'll need help from Maine natives to get it done.</desc>

    </rating>
    <rating system="USA Parental Rating">

  </programme>

 

The file that was recorded by Emby was 'Building Off the Grid  Edge of Maine 2018_10_25_08_00_00.ts'

Note that the colon was replaced by a space and the current date and time was appended to the file name

 

Where do you think this came from? Doesn't appear like it came from the XML, Maybe from the source?

I attached the Emby trancode log. I just need some guidance as to what could be renaming this show.

 

I would also like to add that the TV Guide shows this show as a repeat, but there is no repeat flag in the XML. Now maybe Emby assumes it is a repeat since there is no 'New' tag. Don't know the Emby logic, so can't tell. Every show in the guide, not movies, shows a repeat label if it is not 'New' or 'Premiere'.

I would like to see that gone, unless the XML has a 'repeat' tag.

I have eliminated EPG123 as the XML and using Schedules Direct as the only TV Guide Data Provider and the same issue occurs. Going back to the EPG123 data because the dropdown list is smaller. Wish Emby would sort that list.
