Re: Confused by results from 'Print Missing Episodes' function

Follow-up: I applied the info you provided and renamed the folders with "missing / not missing" files. Then, I re-ran the Missing Episodes command: it went from 1,184 missing episodes... to 56. And, the reported missing files are actually missing. So, it's all working 100 percent correctly...

Re: Confused by results from 'Print Missing Episodes' function

Thank you. I'll add the "show metadata" function into my text list of commands, for next time I have this issue. If I understand correctly, FileBot doesn't mess with the metadata. But, can you suggest a good way to fix, or add, the ID tags (metadata) to files? I've done this with MusicBrai...

Confused by results from 'Print Missing Episodes' function

I frequently use the "Print Missing Episodes" function. Recently, however, the results have been unreliable. Specifically, the report indicates some episodes are missing, when the files exist within the same directory. The function I call: filebot -script fn:miss /Volumes/Media/Series The ...

Re: New error with CLI fetch artwork (Series)

I tried the same process using a different machine with Windows PowerShell, and the results were identical. The command initially begins to lookup Series entries, generating a few NFOs, and then it produces the same "Undefined variable" error as above. FWIW.

Re: How to customize format? 01x01 vs 1x01

Oh, ok — string.pad() applies to the total number of characters, not just numbers.

Your solutions each worked 100% for me. I think I even understand why.
