@ZeroQI Hi, back again. Thanks for your help, I’m just going to manually handle these (few) exceptions when they occur. No big deal, was just hoping there was an automagic fix.
OMG, I’ve learned a few things lately. Plex 200220687: For identically-named remakes, append (year) , e.g. “Battlestar Galactica (2003)”
I saw that years ago and decided it’d be a good thing to do all of the time, remake or not. Can’t hurt, right? YEAH. I’ve got about 5% of my anime titles where it mismatches ONLY on an appended year. Most correct if I remove it, a few just don’t like me. I think I’ve renamed them via anidb or brute-forced the [-number].
And OMG – names. I hadn’t actually realized how weirdly mangled some names actually are; it’s amazing that you can figure out what’s what. OH! And Webtools / FindMedia is WONDERFUL – I was considering somehow writing that. It’ll find physical files that are NOT in the Plex database, and will also find ones that are but have no loaded metadata (EP names and such.)
I’m going to wonder over to r/plex and bug them for extra usage tips. Hey, a question that IS kinda your bailiwick: I’m trying to be a nice user and not slam a million outbound requests for metadata. OTOH, adding a show a day is just too slow. Does Hama throttle or limit it’s requests outside to anidb and elsewhere? OMDb for instance limits me to 1K requests per day. (Free user for right now. Fine, let’s see if I like it.) But I don’t want to overwhelm other free sources by adding a lot of shows at once – so do I need to worry about adding anime/movie/TV shows slowly or does Hama attempt to do so for me? I just don’t want to be permanently banned (by IP addresss?) for abusing data sources. Thanks!
Also, FYI: Docker, LXC, LXD and all are great, but they’re basically compute bound. I spent 4+ hours getting automount to not work. Everything’s there and correct, kernel module is loaded but errors out with a strange error; the end result is “doesn’t work here, don’t do that.” I’d have to run automount on the host and then internally share the area. Nope, I wanted all of the functional information encapsulated within the container, but that’s not how they actually work.) Other things indicate this too – within a container, shares are “just magically there”, you’re not supposed to worry about them but use the data they have. That keeps them from “escaping” – LXC can bypass that but you have to enable it, and even then slopping a container with an internally mounted share basically kills the box. You MUST unload them before stopping a container.
Anyway, thanks. The Beta script works just fine, and I like how you just “extract it at the Plug-ins” and things end up in the right place. MUCH better than dropping master from hama-bundle.master. And thanks for not releasing a new version every day; I abhor that.
