Check for 'Season xx' folder when determining metadata

[Former user]

My TV is stored in a folder structure like: /media/tv/ShowName/Season 01/01x01 Episode Name.avi

At present, Serviio determines metadata by looking only at the parent folder, which means it frequently misidentifies my TV shows. Would it be possible to get it to detect if the folder is named e.g. Series xx, Season xx and look at that folder's parent folder to determine the show?

Thanks!

It should already work for season xxx, added series as a part of #572

Duplicate of #572.

Does that mean 'should already work' in 1.0.1 or in 1.1? It definitely doesn't work in 1.0.1 for me...

code for skipping parent folder if it includes 'season' is already in 1.0.1. What is your file path exactly?

Sorry, I retract that - I've just forced a metadata refresh and everything now looks good. Thanks!

Hmm, I'm not convinced this is working. I just upgraded to 1.2.1 and I'm still seeing issues with mismatches even when I'm pretty sure my filenames should work with thetvdb. For example, I get logs like:

2013-05-09 21:04:05,021 WARN [LibraryManager] Extractor ONLINE_VIDEO_SOURCES failed to connect to metadata source for file /media/tv/The X-Files/Season 02/02x17 End Game.avi, will try again later: Error connecting to thetvdb.com: http://thetvdb.com/api/235C8CA4529142E9/series/76450/default/2/17/en.xml

76450 appears to be a series called 'Spy Game', implying it hasn't used the series name in the folder structure and has just gone for the data in the file name...

Your example filename works for me. Try to click Refresh video metadata or remove and later add the file again, to trigger a new thetvdb.com search.
