Multi-Episode not being picked up
Posted: 30 Dec 2016, 18:57
I have a little issue with a (granted rare) occurence of a multi-episode file, and I'm not sure if it can even be solved, so here goes.
First the 2 filenames:
I'm using the Absolute Ordering setting in the GUI after having a brainlag when it didn't work in seasonal (obviously, duh)
The first one is being picked up fine now, but the second is just being seen as Episode 290, not even 295 (as in it would only contain 290 and 295 and not the ones in between, which would be wrong too, but understandable).
The file is a custom cut made by that group to contain a 6 episode filler arc that's completely independant of the actual series (but surprisingly well done for a filler), contains... well, episodes 290 up to 295 as you probably guessed.
Is there a way to make it pick up and write all the episode numbers into the file? I want to process them to SxE later on too.
Of course I can just rename them manually, and more then 2 episodes in a file is probably pretty rare, but I was wondering if it could be solved with Filebot alone
/Edit #1
Just tried this:
and as expected, all 6 episode are being picked up, because the numbers are in succession I guess.
When leaving out any episode in between however it goes back to just picking up the 290. Now I haven't seen this (ever), but theoretically if there was really just for example 290, 291, 292, 294 and 295 in the file (for whatever reason, maybe a filler in 293), this wouldn't work. Wondering if it could work at all.

I just tried renaming using your formats from the abs2sxe script, and the episodes get lost completely.
Your stage1 format:
yields this as a result:
Is the result of the first rename (stage 1 in the abs2sxe script). Further renaming doesn't know there are more episodes then just 290 in there.
I then tried using this to get all episode numbers back into the file:
and this worked. However, using Airdate order again (abs2sxe stage2), it still wouldn't pick up more then the first episode (even for the 2-episode file). Is this because of the date maybe? I couldn't get all dates in there though.
So I tried it without the date, and the result was this:
Looks good, right? Doesn't work, not all episodes are being picked up. But now comes the strange part...

What is happening? Now I'm really confused.
For stage2 I have to use opportunistic matching by the way, strict just won't match at all and the new name list remains empty... is this supposed to happen?

Your stage1 format:
Code: Select all
{n} - {[e.pad(5)]} - {t} - {[d]}
Code: Select all
Naruto Shippuden - [00290] - Power - Episode 1 & Power - Episode 2 & Power - Episode 3 & Power - Episode 4 & Power - Episode 5 & Power - Episode 6 - [2012-11-22] [210318B3].mp4
Naruto Shippuden - [00290] - Power - Episode 1 - [2012-11-22] [210318B3].mp4
Naruto Shippuden - [00286] - Things You Can't Get Back & One Worth Betting On - [2012-11-01] [B48E507C].mp4
I then tried using this to get all episode numbers back into the file:
Code: Select all
{n} - {[episodes*.absolute*.pad(3).join(']-[')]} - {t} - {[d]}

Code: Select all
Naruto Shippuden - [290]-[291]-[292]-[293]-[294]-[295] - Power - Episode 1 & Power - Episode 2 & Power - Episode 3 & Power - Episode 4 & Power - Episode 5 & Power - Episode 6.mp4
