Logos302 86 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I have also noticed this just hadn't had time to take a look at what was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 In a recent update, about a week ago I noticed that all of my multipart movies (movie.part1.avi, movie.part2.avi) started showing up in the web client as two separate movies. It's also affecting MB Classic. I have tried deleting absolutely everyting in the folders except the actual video files, and as soon as the library scan runs ti generates xml files and *-poster.jpg and *-fanart.jpg files for each movie, as well as a folder.xml file. Version 3.0.5444.17879 Untitled.png Let me know if the new dev build going up resolves it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Happened with 2 of my movies too, for me it was an easy fix. Once I went into the folder I noticed there was a spelling mistake in one of the movie file names which I guess made MBS think it was 2 separate movies. I just deleted everything except the movie files and renamed them the same except for the CD1 and CD2 and rescanned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellowe 8 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes it did. Had to clear out the metadata from some of them but after that it seems to be working fine. Thank yoU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaTuff 6 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) I'm having a similar problem on Version 3.0.5441.2. In some cases, Server seems to be picking up multiple file types from folders in my movies collections as though they are separate movies. I've tried clearing out all the metadata, restarting server and re-scanning but this hasn't helped. For example: ..\Movies\Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)\ Contains files: panda-2-subs.idx panda-2-subs.rar panda-2-xvid.avi panda-2-xvid.eng.srt Server is picking this up as separate movies "panda-2-subs" and "panda-2" Previously I think Server would Identify the folder as the movie title. Files contained in the folder should be handled based on the file type but not detected as titles (I may be showing my ignorance here!)

ebr 14862 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 As mentioned above, this is fixed in a later version (which is now available as a release). Update and refresh the items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Actually, looking at his report, i don't think it's related to multi-part. the rar file is now detected as a video. he should unzip those subs, or wait until we can offer configuration for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14862 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Ah, yes. I have a feeling recognizing archives as videos is going to throw a wrench in a lot of setups. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaTuff 6 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks guys. I think I'm going to need to wait for configuration to be developed. There's just too many of these in my collection to make extracting the archives a viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 assuming they all end in subs.rar search your top level directory for *subs.rar. highlight all, extract, highlight all, delete. there is incentive to extract beyond just media browser, in that more programs will be able to understand them out of the box. (in fact, we currently don't). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaTuff 6 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Seems like Server may also be picking up *.sub files as movie titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 no, that's not possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
