ImageGrabLite With No Series/Episode Numbers in Metadata

[EmptyInTheHead]

I am using a zap2it XML file and I don't always get series and episode information in the metadata. It's probably their 95% of the time. My question is this; if there is no series & episode data in the database, does IGL try to do any other type of matching based on airdate or episode description, or does it just fail. It appears to just fail on the rename.

IGL doesn't get it from the nextpvr database by default because it is usually wrong for zap2it-based guide data, it gets it online from thetvb.org and tmdb.org for movies. The lookup will match on subtitle, original air date or zap2it (if available) and there are some special cases to help the mapping logic. If you find a show you think should match, upload your imageGrabLite log files and I will have a look.

Below is my log file for an example show "Mistresses". theTVDB has a listing with this airdate and episode name, so I'm not sure why it's not matching. I am trying to force it to use the show name "Mistresses (US)" in my SearchLite.XML customnames section.

Any help would be appreciated!

I just tried Mistresses here (for next week) and it is smart enough to use (US) so there is no point in using the override. Try removing the override, deleting

Media\Shows\Mistresesses*
C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins/SearchLite/Series/Mistresses*

and rerun

imageGrabLite --oid 4855 --rename --zap2it

and upload your log if it fails.

That seems to have taken care of it but for some reason it is failing on the rename. The files aren't open, because I can rename or delete them, but it fails the rename for some reason. Log below...

Also, is there a way to have IGL keep more than the last 3 log files? I process 5-10 items a day.

Could you playing the file in NextPVR and upload npvr.log

--extra gives you all the logs, it's up to you to clean older files

Martin

[EmptyInTheHead]

I don't use NPVR to play files ever. I move them out of the recording folder into a Plex folder as soon as they are renamed. I just moved these back for testing. I was able to rename them once, and then it won't rename them now. This is probably just something weird. I think we resolved the original problem. Thanks for the help!

[mvallevand]

Okay, you probably didn't copy it back with the matching name as the nextpvr database has. I'd say use --nfo for Plex too, but you create them all in one big folder which breaks tvshow.nfo logic.
