What happens if you change those episode names to:<br>
<br>
01 Pilot.mp4<br>
02 The Big Bran Hypothesis.mp4<br>
03 The Fuzzy Boots Corollary.mp4<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Thanks Mike,<br><br>I had thought of that, seeing that was the supported naming convention on the wiki, but figured as it worked for most things, the "." must be parsed OK.<br>
<br>I have just tried this though, removed the folder, ran a scan, renamed the episodes to remove the ".", put them back and scanned again.<br><br>Got the exact same output in the logs however, just without the "." in the file names.<br>
<br>As an experiment, I took out another folder, Band of Brothers, did a scan, then put it back and scanned again. It was all perfect previously, but after this process, it is now named as the others are, with "Season" as the title.<br>
<br>So it appears the correlation is the time the metadata was pulled for these shows, new ones I have put in are getting the bum info, ones that already had the info are fine.<br><br>The only major thing I did change was to move all of my media onto an extra 2TB HDD I installed, then change the storage directory to "/media/media/Videos", this is the folder where "Series" and "Films" resides, possibly related, but not sure how.<br>
<br>Thanks<span><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Hi all,<br><br>Has anyone recently added any series to MythVideo and had the info populate like this? Or has anyone had everything work correctly? I assume it must be something with my system, as it hasn't been mentioned by anyone else on the list.<br>
<br>I have been experimenting with moving the folder of video to different locations and re-scanning, root folder, the films folder, but every time it gets titled as "Season".<br><br>I also tried creating a new folder (located on the system HDD), added that as a storage directory and then put the series in there, but the same thing happened.<br>
<br>Finally, I tried a different naming method:<br><br>The Big Bang Theory > The Big Bang Theory Season 1 > 01, 02, 03 etc etc etc<br><br>But when running a new scan, myth titled the files as "The Big Bang Theory Season", so it seems that whatever the folder name about the video files is how they are titled.<br>
<br>Lastly, I tried taking a directory level out, so it was just:<br><br>The Big Bang Theory Season 1 > 01, 02, 03 etc etc etc<br><br>But this made no difference!<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div>
<div>Can't answer your question, but I've settled on:</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Big Bang Theory > Series 1 > S01E01 The Big Bran Hypothesis.mkv</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry, that's not quite right - for best reliability, I actually use:</div><div>
<br></div><div>The Big Bang Theory > Series 1 > The Big Bang Theory S01E01 The Big Bran Hypothesis.mkv
</div><div><br></div><div>I think the trick is having all the data in the filename, and just having the folders around for the sake of us humans.</div><div><br></div><div>- Chris</div></div>
