Movies not identifying

[striker008 2]

I have several movies in the same folder and three will not show up at all in emby.

I have tried everything naming wise and they refuse to show in emby.

I even moved them to another folder and set up a new library as home videos and they still wouldn't show up.

Any ideas on what to do?

Can you go over a specific example, along with a server log for that example.

[striker008 2]

All movie files located in this folder: /home/xx/mnt/gdrive/kidsmovies

Every file in their scrapes fine. Except three movies.

One is: How.The.Grinch.Stole.Christmas.1966.mkv

Does not even come up in the library. I moved it to another folder: /home/xx/mnt/gdrive/kidsmovies2

Setup new library as home videos....it still doesn't show up.

They should appear in the even though the naming scheme is unidentifiable as the provider query will not return results as your file is not named exactly as shown above.

Yes it might be showing as the wrong title if it wasn't identified correctly but it should be showing up.

[striker008 2]

So I have rebuilt the server now but there are still two files that will not be scraped no matter what I do.

I have even tried adding the [imdbid=ttxxxxxx] in the name. There are 68 items in the folder and 66 items show up in emby. I am at a loss for what to do. I know my naming convention is correct. The scraper will just not pick them up....

They are:

How.The.Grinch.Stole.Christmas.1966.1080p.BluRay.x264.[imdbid=tt0060345].mkv

A.Charlie.Brown.Thanksgiving.1973.1080p.BluRay.x264.[imdbid=tt0068359].mkv

Hi.  Try:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

[Carlo 4561]

I agree this will likely work but technically shouldn't be needed.  Once you manually identify with the ID number the folder name and file name should be ignored and only use the ID.

I tried this....still doesn't show in library.

So then I decided I would just name it some random movie.....so I named it: Talladega.Nights.The.Ballad.Of.Ricky.Bobby.2006.720p.BluRay.x264.mkv (this is still How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)). Now I see Talledega Nights in my Library.....

So for some reason it is just rejecting How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (very Grinch of it, lol)

Can you rename it back again.
Go to scheduled tasks and run the rotate log job.

Do a full library scan.
Upload the latest server log.

Thanks

PS do you use parental restrictions?

Done and attached

Hmm, neither "ricky" or "grinch" show up in the log at all.
This was a full library scan?

Which library do these files reside in?

Yes it was.

You mean like library location? /home/co/mnt/gdrivea/'Kids Show'/Movies

[Carlo 4561]

What kind of drive is this?

[striker008 2]

google drive rclone mount

That won't work as those (tmdbid/imdbid) identifiers are meant for the folder name not the file name. Are these movies just spread out in a single folder? Reading your top post appears they are. It is the resolution not being encapsulated within [ ] being your issue. It confused the date pattern reading. The [ ] instruct the file name to ignore what is inside when looking up that item. Otherwise it is going to use the entire file name to look it up. Including that "1080p.Bluray.x264" part.

How.The.Grinch.Stole.Christmas.1966.[1080p.BluRay.x264].mkv
does that work?

Perhaps this?

I am confused as previous logs show items are found just fine with imdbid.

I had zero issue using this flat item naming scheme.

How.The.Grinch.Stole.Christmas.1966.1080p.BluRay.x264.[imdbid=tt0060345].mkv

A.Charlie.Brown.Thanksgiving.1973.1080p.BluRay.x264.[imdbid=tt0068359].mkv

I think this likely works as well but since the drive is Google Mounted via Rclone the delay in getting file updates is likely the problem.

I'd suggest naming them and waiting 24 hours before even bothering to look at your library for them.  At the 24 hour mark if they still don't show up try a full library scan.

...and at that point knowing it is based upon that we should back up a few steps and walk away... Where black and white become a grey area. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/decision-making-grey-space-shashwat-k-mitra

That's not really how rclone works. I am making the renames within the mount. So the timing is the time to go back and rename on the google server side. In other words, the changes are instantaneous.....proof of that was the Talladega Nights change was picked up immediately on library refresh.

I paste pics so you know I am not nuts. You can also see the difference between the 68 and 66 that emby is picking up.

Here is current names:

It's more about how Google sends the information.  The web client for example can show updates right away while info pulled via API takes longer.
RClone itself can also cache this info.

We see this happen A LOT!

I understand, but I am not making the change within google's web client. I am making the change within the mount itself via CLI. Therefore, the cache time is just writing to google. What emby sees is within the mount where I made the change, so there is no cache time difference there.

The rename posted in google fine too:

Only thing I can suggest in making a test folder on gdrive and moving those two items to that folder, then making a new library in Emby for that test folder.  If they show up then there is something happening within that specific library and your database.
