TV filenames no longer parsed correctly

[Christopher Andrews]

I am running version 1.4.2. Ever since 1.4 (I think, it could just be 1.4.1), Subler no longer parses my filenames correctly. My files are named 'Show - SXXEYY Episode Title.mp4'. It used to be that Subler would correctly parse that as a television episode, and look up the correct season and episode information. Now, however, it defaults to believing it is a film called 'SXXEYY Episode Title'.

The new version will prefer the existing metadata to the file name. What are the current metadata of your file?

[Christopher Andrews]

Ah -- that appears to be the problem. Given the structure described above, the metadata for the files sets Artist='Show' and Name='SXXEYY Episode Title'. If I erase the Name field, it appears to revert back to the former behavior.

[Damiano Galassi]

So no episode/season number or release date?

[Christopher Andrews]

Release date and genre are also set. The files are coming out of EyeTV. I record them, and EyeTV allows me to set the program name and episode title. For the title, I use the SXXEYY Episode Title format. The filename becomes the one mentioned above and some metadata is set. The file then passes through handbrake, which removes a couple of fields leaving only this:

Name: Episode title (or Program name if episode is not set) Artist: Program name
Genre: TV Shows
Release Date: Recording date (which is not terribly useful)

I have no control over this metadata other than the previously mentioned program name and episode title, which is why I've been using Subler to clean it up/expand it.

Issue #394 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

It should work in 1.4.4.

I cannot make the TVDB respond to queries from Subler today Thanks, Doug Craig [e-mail]

1.22 seems to have a few issues - artwork is not showing up and the TVDB interface is not accurate... Doug Craig DugzCreativeMedia dugzcreativemedia.com [e-mail] 303-594-4457
