Name 2 E01 = E02

[DaniGTA]

The name

Name 2 E01

Get detected as E02

[ZeroQI]

If series folder is called "Name 2" it would scrub it so bad naming. No AniDB nor TheTVDB series names "name 2"... No logs so ticket closure

[DaniGTA]

Folder system:

• Name
• • S01
• • • FileName E01
• • S02
• • • FileName 2 E01

The series get detected fine. But all episodes in season 2 get detected as Name S02E02

[ZeroQI]

And no logs.... Please include scanner logs from Hama agent data folders logs/Library name/Name.agent. logs

That's the one! The scanner use word search from the left so encounter the '2' first. It also removes the title in case it has numbers. It also check the number of occurences. There isn't too many 2s so it does not skip it... One or two with the same naming convention and it would have skipped the 2... If failing it then uses REGex..

It is badly named and if i chose to put regex first it would fix but potentially impact many...

I see your point but how can it know to skip the 2?

[DaniGTA]

Seach for \sE\d{1,}|\sEP\d{1,} if found take that as episode number if not found just go on with the current stuff.

I dont think there will be a series that match this: \s{1,}E\d{1,}

[ZeroQI]

So i can keep word search first but for exx or epxx i bypass with '\sEP?\d{1,}'? That bothers me a bit but is doable...

[DaniGTA]

You can make the EP scan first if the files from the users are mostly covered with ep that should keep the scan fast. But if less user mark they files with ep then it should go with word search first.

If series folder is called "Name 2" it would scrub it so bad naming. No AniDB nor TheTVDB series names "name 2"...

And thank God for that - I've been using AniList lately for scrobbling, and, rather than the AniDB-style SeriesName (2019), etc, all sequels are named SeriesName 2, SeriesName 3, etc, which makes series/ep identification incredibly painful... Esp since Trackma, the scrobbler I use, supports as wide a net of naming formats as possible, so SeriesName 2 is valid for it as both SeriesName, episode 2 and SeriesName 2, episodeNum following. So many regex checks...

Sorry, it's 2:30am, sick, can't sleep, and saw this topic in my email updates and had PTSD flashbacks... And it's all still waiting for me when I can get out of bed again...

@ZeroQI, I do not believe this should be tried to be allowed. In the above example, if the folder was 'FileName 2' or if a decent amount of files had '2' in the filename (misc_count hit) it would be fine. This a clear example of where the single filename should just be fixed.

Notes

• "all episodes in season 2 get detected as Name S02E02" => logs pasted afterwards show only s02e09 impacted
• "FileName 2 E09.mkv" is indeed badly named as foldername isn't 'FileName 2'
• would give problems to babs and default plex scanner i believe
• if all filenames had a '2' not only would the foldername scrub it if the series name also carries it or it could be set at series level to the right season 'filename 2 [tvdb-zzzzz-s2]', or enough '2' in filenames be detected...
• how can you have 3 different series names('FileName', 'FileName (2019)', 'FileName 2') for episodes in the same season??? Can Trackma normalize the title though to solve this?

This could have far-reaching implications/bugs and potentially impact supported filename conventions...

I am going to close this as we do support this already but with only one off bad named filename the algorythm i wrote cannot detect it, It needs renaming in this instance
