Couple of questions about current scheme

[g4m3r7ag]

Currently I have two different scheme's I'm using for TV Shows. One for regular episodes and one for specials. Is there a way to combine these so I don't have to constantly switch back and forth?

Currently if the one for regular episodes tries to match a special it makes the season folder "Season 00" and the episode number matches as S00Enull. If I'm using the specials scheme and try to match a regular episode it doesn't pad the season folder with a 0 so I end up with "Season 1" instead of "Season 01"

Code: Select all

Sorted/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('-E')} - {t} - {vf} {af}

Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t} - {vf} {af}

Also I am having some trouble with multi-part episodes. My regular episode scheme above matches two part episodes just fine but anything more than two parts it will only match the first two parts.

Example:

S01E22-E23 will match correctly

S01E24-E25-E26-E27 will only match E24 and E25 and completely skips E26 and E27.

Your first scheme doesn't support specials at all, so why would you ever use that?

Code: Select all

Sorted/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('-E')} - {t} - {vf} {af}

Your second scheme is superior in every aspect, so you'd only ever use that:

Code: Select all

Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t} - {vf} {af}

So the main issue is that the second one doesn't give you "Season 01" but "Season 1" folders? The first format already shows you how to do that.

Compare and contrast:

Code: Select all

{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s}

Code: Select all

{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}

I'm sure you can figure why one formats pads the season number, and why the other doesn't. Stare at it until it makes sense.


2.
Are you sure that E26 and E27 of whatever show actually exist? If something doesn't work, I will ALWAYS need the filename of the file that doesn't match correctly.

Now I feel slow, I was trying 'Season s.pad(2) '+s}.... That makes perfect sense now.

Here are the filenames I'm having trouble with.

This will match fine:

Code: Select all

Freakazoid! - S01E22-E23 - Hot Rods from Heck! + A Time for Evil

This will only match the first two episodes and skip the third and fourth

Code: Select all

Freakazoid! - S01E24-E25-E26-E27 - Relax-O-Vision + Fatman and Boy Blubber + Limbo Lock-up + Terror Palace

[rednoah]

Works with 4.6 but somehow doesn't with 4.6.1 ... this will take a while ...

EDIT:

On the upside, this will work now: Freakazoid! - S01E24-E27

EDIT2:

Somewhat fixed with r3372

[g4m3r7ag]

No worries, FileBot has made my life much easier over the last year so I have no problem waiting.

Edit: Your edit was right as I was replying. It's getting late here, I will try that out tomorrow and report back. Thank you for the help.

[g4m3r7ag]

Worked perfectly with r3372 thank you.

New problem now, I'm trying to get the statement that supports Specials to also support Joining episodes.

This is the base statement I'm working off

Code: Select all

/Volumes/Data/New Downloads/TV Shows/Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t} - {vf} {af}

I have tried

Code: Select all

/Volumes/Data/New Downloads/TV Shows/Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : S{s.pad(2)}E{es*.pad(2).join('-E')}} - {t} - {vf} {af}

and

Code: Select all

/Volumes/Data/New Downloads/TV Shows/Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : S+s.pad(2)E+es*.pad(2).join('-E')} - {t} - {vf} {af}

With both I get Expecting EOF found 'E'

I have also tried

Code: Select all

/Volumes/Data/New Downloads/TV Shows/Sorted/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00.join('-E')} - {t} - {vf} {af}

I don't get an error but it doesn't join episodes.

Is it possible for this statement to support joining episodes?

[rednoah]

{s00e00} supports multi-episode formatting. {es} is a list of episode numbers, so {es.join('-')} will yield things like 1-2-3 but if {es} is just one episode, then won't be anything to join.

What's the problem? FileBot not detecting multi-episodes correctly? Nothing you can do about that in the format.

[g4m3r7ag]

This is the filename I'm trying to rename but the specials scheme I listed that I'm using only match's to S00E04 and doesn't join it

Code: Select all

BSG.Razor.S00E04-E05Extended.2007.720p.Brrip + C

It's listed as S00E04 and S00E05 here

http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid ... 5950&lid=7

[rednoah]

You'll need a separator before/after the SxE pattern.

No

Code: Select all

S00E04-E05Extended

YES

Code: Select all

S00E04-E05.Extended

EDIT:

Oddly enough, it seems to just work with the latest revision:

Code: Select all

[g4m3r7ag]

I put the separator in and updated from 3372 to 3399 and it still won't join, it just tries to rename as S00E04 instead of S00E04-E05. What scheme should I be using to support joining with specials?

[rednoah]

The naming scheme can't correct multi-episode matching issues. If {s00e00} doesn't work, then there's nothing you can do in the format to fix it, because the information isn't there in the first place.

What's the value of {s00e00} or {es}? What's the full path of the original filename? If you want to correct a bad match you may need to clear xattr metadata first.
