Scrape Specials on TV Shows -> Bluray Disc?

[TheGremlin 68]

Hi,

 

I am naming my TV Shows like this:

 

Elfen Lied - S01E01-E07 [bluray].iso

Elfen Lied - S01E08-E13 [bluray].iso

 

It scrape the TV Show perfectly.

But there exist a Special Episode on the Second Disc (E08-E13).

It's listed on the tvdb: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/elfen-lied

 

Is there a way to scrape this too? Do I need another naming convention?

This is also very often on Doctor Who Blurays.

 

They have many Specials on it, which are listed on tvdb.

I would like to scrape the important one, like Christmas Specials for example (Extra Christmas Episode / Movie)

Hi.  Same answer as your other question .

Hi ebr, I have respond an gread answer into the other thread.

But for this specific issue, wouldn't it be possible to let this handle by the scraper?

 

For example I could rename the file: 

 

Elfen Lied - S00E01_S01E08-E13 [bluray].iso

 

I have allready tried this method, but it don't work that way :/

Simply name the specials to match TVDB - ie s00e01 = 'In the Passing Rain' for example.

 

As there is only 1 special listed, TVDB is not going to match any others, you will have to create them manually.

Hi rbjtech, the Special is on Disc 2 of the Bluray. It cotains also episodes 8-13 + the special.

If I name it like you have it mention, then it don't scrape the episodes 8-13.

 

According to the TV Naming Wiki https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/TV-naming

I can it name "Elfen Lied S01E08-E13". But I would need also the Special to put it inside.

They aren't actually ripping the discs to video files.  They're going with ISOs of discs that have multiple episodes, specials, movies, etc, and looking for a naming convention that will list everything.  That doesn't exist.

 

The option is to rip the discs to individual video files and then name those properly for the media type, stick with the current format and live with this limitation, or raise a feature request.  The last isn't really realistic.  I recommend option 1.
