v5.1.1 Braces instead of brackets?
Posted: 17 Oct 2023, 05:22
I did some renaming of series today and noticed there were some underlying changes to ~emby.id.derive because I had duplicate directories for shows.
Instead of:
Concern... is the following compatible with Plex's naming scheme? I thought they were all about braces for holding the database info and not brackets and required tvdb and imdb not tvdbid and imdbid
for TVDB we now have tvdbid instead of tvdb
for IMDB we now have imdbid instead of imdb

I went looking for breaking changes in the update but could not find the changes page. Am I missing some change or new feature?
This is my preset:
Code: Select all
/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/Series/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) [tmdbid=38114]/Season 01/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) - S01E01 - Age of Ice
Code: Select all
/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/Series/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) {tmdb=38114}/Season 01/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) - S01E01 - Age of Ice
for TVDB we now have tvdbid instead of tvdb
for IMDB we now have imdbid instead of imdb

For all renaming databases we now have brackets [] instead of braces {}If you are using the “Plex TV Series” agent, you can optionally include the TMDB or TVDB show ID in the folder name to improve matching. If you choose to do that, it must be inside curly braces: ShowName (2020) {tvdb-123456} or ShowName (2020) {tmdb-123456} where 123456 is the show ID. An example can be found at the end of the article.
That suggests anything in brackets is going to be ignored and not used to help match a show.Many of our naming instructions mention having Optional_Info at the end of the file name. As the label suggests, it’s optional, but many people like to use it for information about the files in question. Such optional info is ignored by Plex when matching content with legacy agents, but it is used in the Plex TV Series agent to give a hint for matching. If you want info to be ignored put the optional info in brackets. e.g. /Band of Brothers (2001) - s01e01 - Currahee [1080p Bluray].mkv
