View Full Version : Movies with date in filename/title

Mezzmo's "maintain library" internet metadata updater doesn't seem to handle movies with the date in the title/ filename, eg. Alien (1979) , which is a standard title format (both IMDB and TMDB list their titles with the date in parentheses). The manual metadata search works fine, but it's slow to do it for each file. It seems odd that it puts the filename/title as the series name in the search argument:

1228 - Sep 26 21:57:51.943 [ThreadID:2f88] - (1380241671.943) - [00] - <00> - [2F88] > TmdbGrabber: UpdateTextArtwork: No Artwork: id '1', title '(null)', series 'Quantum of Solace (2008)', season '110586128', episode '0', year '0'

but if I rename the file without the year, it still lists the name as the "series" but it does find the artwork:

1320 - Sep 26 21:59:46.389 [ThreadID:28c8] - (1380241786.389) - [00] - <00> - [28C8] > TmdbGrabber: UpdateTextArtwork: Have Artwork: id '1', title '(null)', series 'Quantum of Solace', season '110586128', episode '0', year '0'

:confused:

Hi Delbert,

Please email us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com and we'll provide a patch that fixes that up. In your email, provide the full path(s) for a few of the Quantum of Solace videos that do not work. We'll reproduce it here and make sure it works.

Quantum of Solace is a movie - there's only one video file. It's the same for all of my movie files, which are named in the same fashion.

Just an update on this issue. If you have your files named in the Name (year) format, make sure you have your metatdata retrieval settings set properly.

- turn off "Use filename as title"

- turn on "get text metadata from file path"

- turn off "Get text metadata embedded in file" (unless you have your movie file tagged with a proper Movie Name tag)
