How Does "Use S01E01 File naming format if possible" work

[puck64]

Hi all,

I hope someone can help :confused:

I have written a REXX Script to grab the Season and or Episode details from EPG_EVENT.description and update EPG_EVENT.season and EPG_EVENT.episode.

The setting "Use S01E01 file naming format if possible" has been enabled via the GUI.

I have noticed that scheduled recordings with the season set to 0 and episode > 0 do not get ".S00E0x" appended to the program name. :eek:
where as season set to 1 and episode > 0 are appended. (see below for a couple of "UPDATED" entries from EPG_EVENT.

"1066129" "Backroads USA" "(S.1,Ep.5) Route 66 ................... #SBSDoco" "1" "5" "7152"
"1067273" "Ben 10: Omniverse" "Frogs Of War (Part 2)Ben, ..........................." "0" "2" "7156"

It appears that to get the episode number I will have to fudge the Season number ie set it to "99" (no show runs for 99 seasons )

Suggestion .... With the above switch set to on and season set to 0 but episode > 0 that " E0X" be appended to the program name.
With the above switch set to on and season set to > 0 and episode set to > 0 that " S0XE0X" be appended to the program name.
ignore seasons without an episode.
A note to SUB .. note "NO DOTS", I know you like DOTS

It only does the this file names if season is 1 or above. 0 is used to signify that it doesn't know this information.

Hi Sub,

Thanks for the info.

I will have to fudge the season if I don't find it

I extract a lot of episodes and Part X without a season, like the following.
Australias Deadliest Destinations - Part 3
A Walk on the Wild Side - Paul Murton ...... (Part 3 of 6) #SBSDoco

What is the chance of outputting the Episode Number if the Season is 0 eg "Toasted.TV.E01.ts" AND REMOVE THE DOTS

To be honest, probably not. You could probably roll your own solution though, renaming the file in postprocessing.bat and using NScriptHelper.exe to update the database.

Since you're manipulating the season/episode info in the database, you could consider updating these shows without a season number to be season 1. This would at least get you a file with the episode number included.

As an FYI, season zero has a meaning to Kodi and Plex and thetvdb. It is used for specials related to an episodic series. Here is an example for Doctor Who (2005) http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...6260&lid=7

Thanks Martin
In that case I have no chance in hell in getting it changed.
My work around is to make the Season = 888 or was that 999 where I have an Episode only.

I have to edit the file name to remove the DOTS and add the Channel so removing the season is just another step

I've made a change for the next release to allow a season of zero, as long as the episode number is non-zero, giving S00E01 etc.
