Serviio

So, I've had SickBeard downloading Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. since the start of the show, and there aren't any issues there. I don't see any problems with the shows there, the NFO/metadata files created by SB look identical (Comparing to the files for Almost Human, for example, which shows up just fine), and the actual embedded metadata for the shows look identical in VLC.

It just doesn't seem to be showing in my Sony bdp-s570 bluray player's Serviio > Series view. Files show in Folders, but not Series.

Does anyone else have any ideas as to why this is happening? I can't find any mentions of it floating around the forum. Thanks!

Player: Sony bdp-s570 (firmware and video info has been updated since observation of this issue)
Computer: Win7 64-bit, connected via ethernet to the bluray player
Serviio: 1.3.1

Are you sure you're using metadata from the nfo files (what are your settings in Serviio Console, Metadata, Video). What is in the drop down box?

If confirmed, try removing all "." in S.H.I.E.L.D from the file names in both the media and nfo files.

Ahh, the first dropdown in Descriptive Metadata in that section? It's currently set to "Online metadata sources": http://i.imgur.com/HmnscOi.png

It works for pretty much anything else. What exactly feeds that "online" source? I'll try setting it to the "XBMC .nfo files" option and see how that goes though. Thanks!

Thought that may be the case. With this setting your .nfo files are not actually used, but rather metadata is gathered from two online sources - themoviedb.org and thetvdb.com for movies and series. I recommend the online default setting unless you have specific needs and want customised metadata, as its the easiest way to keep your metadata up to date.

Serviio determines which metadata to download from these sites based on the filename of the media file. See my post here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10626&p=70544#p70544.

In this case all you probably need to do is rename the file to something along the lines of Marvels Agents of SHIELD SxxEyy - title.abc where xx and yy are the season and episode number; "- title" is the episode title (this is optional - Serviio doesn't use it) and abc is the existing file extension (eg. mp4). Note there are no "." in SHIELD in the filename, nor any apostrophe.

Gotcha. So I'm guessing that the periods break the index? It's weird, because the show @midnight indexes just fine haha.

I'll see if there's some way to get SickBeard to drop the periods just for that one if it does indeed fix it.

This _used_ to work perfectly for me for this show. Unfortunately, I had to rebuild my library and now the show doesn't appear in the "Series" folder because of:



Not sure _how_ it was working before - but it was. No settings have changed apart from losing the library and re-adding the library. Sickbeard renames the episodes according to the show name (which it gets from thetvdb.com), so for the above, the file is called:



Any ideas?

M.

The TV Database lists the show as "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." With all my episode names (I don't have this series, though I'd like to) I have spaces between words, not periods. Using Filebot, I would guess I would name this file "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E09 Repairs.mkv"

This is what works for all my series. You might need the apostrophe in Marvel's as well.

Marvel's.Agents.Of.Shield.......... works for me......so take out the .'s in the S.H.I.E.L.D. to make it one word.....

in filebot replace {n} with the below

{n.replace('S.H.I.E.L.D.','SHIELD')}

The problem is Serviio Searches for it with spaces, assuming that the periods are meant to be spaces

maybe some fuzy logic could fix it somewhere,

Agreed, there could definitely be some improvements in certain scenarios. Unfortunately, I've cut Filebot out of my flow these days, since it's not really necessary now that I have SickBeard running. But I guess I could do it manually just for shows like that. I just would rather avoid manual intervention lol.

surely sickbeard could do it as well?
