Use {emby} but get S03E18E19E20E21 instead of S03E18-E21 episode numbering

Post by invader »

Hi there,

I've been looking for a solution and I haven't been able to find one on the forums. Similar topics but not the exact same.

My current episode format is:

Code: Select all

Series\{ emby[1] }\{ emby[2] }\{ emby.derive{" $vf.$vc.$ac"}.name }
I'm trying to output a name that has more than 2 episodes in a file.
I'm trying to output:

Code: Select all

Show (2005)\Season 03\Show (2005) - S03E18E19E20E21 - Episode Eighteen & Episode Nineteen & Episode Twenty & Episode Twenty One 1080p.x265.AAC.mp4
What I get is:
Show (2005)/Season 03/Show (2005) - S03E18-E21 - Episode Eighteen & Episode Nineteen & Episode Twenty & Episode Twenty One 1080p.x265.AAC.mp4

Is there a way to get the format S03E18E19E20E21 instead of S03E18-E21?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK, {emby} expects S03E18-E21 multi-episode naming, and so you'll have to write your own custom format if you want something different. If you organize files for 3rd party software, then S03E18-E21 multi-episode-range is the number format you want.



If you just want S03E18E19E20E21 for no particular reason, then you can just have your format generate that:

Code: Select all

S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('E')}

e.g.

Code: Select all

Series/{sy}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{sy} - S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('E')} - {t} {vf}.{vc}.{ac}



:!: However, if you are organizing files for Emby or Jellyfin or friends, then you will want to stick with the default {emby} format and multi-episode-range number format that comes with that:

Code: Select all

Series/{ ~emby.id % {" $vf.$vc.$ac"} }

Thank you! I am using Emby which supports both methods however the issue is that tinyMediaManager doesn't like it when I have more that 2 episodes in a span . Might try to see if tinyMediaManager can support more the 2 episodes in a span and then I could just use the fileBot {emby} format. Thanks for such a quick reply.

Turns out Kodi, Emby and TinyMediaManager all support S03E18E19E20E21 so I'll stick with this format.

In case anyone else finds it useful, I've ended up with this custom format:

Code: Select all

\Series\{ emby[1] }\{ emby[2] }\{ emby[1] } - S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('E')} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'/).replaceAll(/[:]/, / -/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart(', Part $1')} {vf}.{vc}.{ac}{ subt }
Thanks again for your help rednoah.
