TV Shows - Download season specific folder thumbnails

Post by GameOverAus »

How to do this with Filebot? Seems it can change the episode data and the subtitles and overall download artwork for the show but not the specific seasons
For instance most shows, each show has a different title picture to indicate it's a different season and that should be the thumbnail for the folder.

My folder structure for a show would be for instance
\Broadchurch\Season 1\Episode Files....

Now with this Filebot includes artwork for the \Broadchurch folder but the individual Season folders get nothing most of the time. Only if i do the 1st season gets anything, if anything at all.

:?: GUI or CLI? Screenshots? Logs?

:?: Which specific series / season / database are you testing with? Does the artwork you seek exist in the first place because if the series isn't very popular then the artwork is going to be curated less well?




Here's what I get:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename Broadchurch.1x01.mp4 --db TheMovieDB::TV --output . --format "{plex}" --apply artwork nfo
Rename episodes using [TheMovieDB] with [Airdate]
...
[MOVE] from [Broadchurch.1x01.mp4] to [TV Shows/Broadchurch/Season 01/Broadchurch - S01E01 - Episode 1.mp4]

[NFO] TheMovieDB::TV::1427 (TV Shows/Broadchurch/tvshow.nfo)
...
The newly generated TV Shows/Broadchurch/Season 01/landscape.png seems somewhat off to me. Primera Temporada is probably Season 1 in Spanish though. So I guess that's the best we can do for this particular series. The artwork for this series probably just isn't curated very well. You're welcome to contribute the missing English season thumbnail artwork.



It'll work better for popular TV shows where artwork is already well curated:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename Alias.1x01.mp4 --db TheMovieDB::TV --output . --format "{plex}" --apply artwork nfo
Rename episodes using [TheMovieDB] with [Airdate]
...
[MOVE] from [Alias.1x01.mp4] to [TV Shows/Alias/Season 01/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told.mp4]

The newly generated TV Shows/Alias/Season 01/landscape.png looks good to me.
