5.1.2.0 issue with folders containing dots

[FranticOrange]

Thanks Peter - that did the trick. Many thanks for the quick turnaround.

I have a second question - for folders that have an apostrophe (e.g. Da Vinci's Demons), they display fine in Mezzmo on my PC but when displaying on my TV, they appear with &; in place of the apostrophe, i.e. Da Vinci&;s Demons. Is there any way I can fix this?

My TV is a Samsung UE43J5600.

Thanks again,
FranticOrange.

Mezzmo replaces apostrophes with ' so that when put in XML they do not cause problems. The TV should replace the ' with the apostrophe but it appears that this is not happening where it is just replacing the apos and leaving the & and ;. If you go to the properties of the file in Mezzmo does the title appear correctly?

Hi Peter.

Yes - I recalled correctly, all appears fine in Mezzmo. I've worked around the issue by using the alternative apostrophe character ` instead of the standard '. It doesn't get URL encoded so looks fine on the TV. It's not perfect but better than the &; that was being displayed.

I seem to be getting the same sort of error when collecting metadata fromt the internet.
Recently I had to do a complete reinstall of Mezzmo and I recreated my library from scratch. But that didn't quite work out, as you can see.

Movies and TV shows get mixed up and a lot of names still have the dots in it. All the episodes of Stranger Things are named "E001: Chapter One: The vanishing of Will Byers". A lot of movies aren't even recognized and are left in the "Folders" folder.

When I try to find the metadata manually, it doesn't get much better:

See how Mezzmo mixes up the 2160p with an episode number and the dots aren't removed automatically from the search.

I did a full reinstall of Mezzmo, restarted my pc, checked for any left Conceiva/Mezzmo files or folders, all seemed clean. Installed latest Mezzmo (5.1.3.0) and did a new "Setup Your Mezzmo Library". Same result. Even movies that were previously detected fine are now messed up.

Anyone got a solution? Any help is much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Hi,
can you please post a screenshot of your Metadata Retrieval Settings from the Video tab of the dialog so that we can see if you have 'Get text metadata from file path' enabled as this should parse the filename and remove dots and resolutions. http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?...ings#video_tab

Hi Peter,

I do have this setting enabled, I have the default settings: 4.jpg
It was the first thing I tried to edit when I first noticed the problem. Tried all different combinations, but no avail...

I tried here with a file named hacksaw.ridge.mp4 and the first time I added it this checkbox was off so when I checked the box I had to right-click on the file and select to Maintain File(s) and this updated the title correctly, can you please try this?
