theReverend 4 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I just received the latest update: MS Windows Server Version 3.0.5441.2 Now there is an issue where multi-disc items are no longer seen. Only the first disc is seen (with no "Disc 01" note). M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\The Sound of Music\The Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 01) M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\The Sound of Music\The Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 02) Anyone have a fix for this? It's been working fine since installation - this just started on Thanksgiving day. Thank you, Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14853 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't think those are supposed to be in parens. e.g. "Disc 1" not "(Disc 1)" but maybe we can account for that too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theReverend 4 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thank you for the input ebr, It's been working this way ever since I began using MB... I can change all of the files I have; it would be cool if it could work with the (Disc 01)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 this should be resolved when the stable release comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theReverend 4 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 The issue with multi-disc items still exists for me... I've modified the to the following standard (as noted in the Media Files & Folders Structure guide): M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music Disc 1\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music Disc 2\VIDEO_TS Only one movie shows up in the Metadata Manager, Media Browser Classic & Media Browser Theater... \\SERVER-01\Media M\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music Disc 1 I'm using Media Browser Server (v3.0.5445.6). Everything used to work just fine but the last few updates seem to have broken this (at least for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you are correctly using multi-disc naming, which means you should only see one entry that groups the two together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theReverend 4 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 The way that it has worked for me in the past, with this convention, is there is one movie to choose from in the library, then when you choose it, it shows two discs... [movie name] disc 1 & [movie name] disc 2. Now I see only one movie... I cannot choose the second disc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 If you can grab the server dev build and test out the fix that would be helpful feedback. see the alpha area at the botttom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theReverend 4 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I updated to the Dev build v3.0.5454.21792 last night, scanned the media library and there was no change in the way multi-discs were handled. I updated to the Dev build v3.0.5455.43139 today, scanned the media library and... it still appears to have fixed it a bit... the original data was corrupted a bit and no longer displays all of the multi-disc movies correctly... WOW. I just made a major FUBAR. When you choose delete from the metadata manager... it deletes the movie from it's location... not the metadata. I had no Idea... and it's not in the trash can - gone for good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theReverend 4 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hey Team, This is quite frustrating. When movies are formatted this way, only disc 1 is recognized: M:\Movies (DVD)\Sound of Music\Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 01)\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Sound of Music\Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 02)\VIDEO_TS When movies are formatted this way, both discs are recognized, but of course, no metadata is downloaded: M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music 1\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music 2\VIDEO_TS When movies are re-formatted this way, after being recognized from the previous format (the 2nd paragraph in this note), only Sound of Music 1 appears... M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 01)\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music (1965) (Disc 02)\VIDEO_TS Can you address this? This is driving me nuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14853 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Have you tried "The sound of music (1965)\Disc 1\VIDEO_TS"? I believe that is what is in the docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 this should be working fine now on the latest dev build. can you post a screenshot of what you see in the web interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theReverend 4 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I changed to the following convention: M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Disc 1\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Disc 2\VIDEO_TS Only Disc 1 is seen. BUT - in the Media Browser web interface, an "Additional Parts" is seen as Disc 2. In the Metadata Manager, the second disc is not seen... and in Media Center/MB Classic, the second disc is not seen either. It used to work...

Luke 36879 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ok, then it is working as designed. You are using the naming convention for multi-disc movies. They are grouped as one title and it is up to the apps to provide playback options for the second disc. I'm pretty sure MBC has that. Ebr can elaborate. The only reason they were separate before is that it was a bug. Now that it has been fixed it sounds like you would prefer they stay separate. If this is the case, you can either wait because i'm sure within the next few server releases we'll have settings for this .Or you can use a naming convention that will not fall into multi-disc. For instance, using the numbers without the "disc" is not considered multi-disc. So this should keep them separate if that's what you prefer: M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music 1\VIDEO_TS M:\Movies (DVD)\Movies (Musical)\Sound of Music (1965)\Sound of Music 2\VIDEO_TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14853 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 MBC does support multi-disc playback. If you hit the play button it will ask you which one you want to play or if you want to play them both together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theReverend 4 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 OK... I guess I'll wait for an up-coming release. The weird thing, is that it work for me for about a year or so the way I depicted in the initial post... then it "broke". I have a lot of DVD's that are 2 disc sets... thank you for looking into this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 it didn't break. it was broken before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStripe 14 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) More observations. 1) Multi-part movie suffixed with Part 1...Part N (i.e., each part is displayed separately with chapter extraction) 2) Multi-part movie suffixed with CD1...CD2 works. (note: Have not tested movie with more than two CD parts, i.e., CD1-CD3...CDN) Hope this helps trouble-shoot if not already solved.
