As I want different plot summaries/posters/etc for both seasons, this structure intuitively made sense to me. The result however is that it is not seasoned at all and everything is labeled as 'Special'.
How do I do this?
edit: if I use the usual naming convention (showname -> season xx -> "showname - sxxeyy") it is divided in seasons but I lose all season specific information...
edit2: Found a little bug(?) -> Endings are titled "Episode 150[/1/2/3/...]", this works perfectly with openings though...
edit2 answer: Because episodes needs a number, i translate openings in s0e10x... and endings in s0e15x, and that gets translated back into the anidb titles and that work well except i didn't amend HAMA to handle endings...I put that in the todo list for the agent..
edit1 question: "but I lose all season specific information..."... you mean the serie name ?
Currently with HAMA as agent, it would scrub the first season with anidb, and the second with thetvdb, but i will amend HAMA shortly to use tvdb mode when a season 2 is present
For the folders, i put it the most permissive i could, and it even handles non absolute mode folders (with seasons) however only ep folders are meant to be after the season folder... the way you did should be handles as two separate distinct anidb series but the fact you use seasons indicate possibly you use tvdb agent... I recommend the following then:
Darker than Black
. season 01 - Darker than Black - Kuro no Keiyakusha
- [Subgroup]_Darker_than_Black_01_(Resolution)_[Hash]
. season 02 - Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini
- [Subgroup]_Darker_than_Black_-_Ryuusei_no_Gemini_01_(Resolution)_[Hash]
I'm new in this whole Plex system and have scanner problem with my anime library.
Using PMS in Win 7 platform and watching by WD TV Live gen3...
Quite common problem over 100+ episode like Fairy Tail etc.
I haven't tried yet this ASS or ABS or B-ABS or S-BABS scanner but will if I'm reading install guide right... :) ASS for anime or else??
I installed hama.bundle and selected in Anime folder settings use hama for info but was using just plex scanner.. stopped at 100 and didn't show over 100 ep and understand that reason was Plex scanner.
I will info if I can get this ASS to work but i'm little lost about installation guides like in S-BAS: You will need to include a tvdb.id file in the anime folder which contains the ID of the anime (where it greates the Anime folder exactly? Does this means the folder I created in plex new tv-show -->new folder Anime ?)
S-BABS use absolute numbering but give TVDB type season numbering so need to use thetvdb.com agent, and tvdb.id files otherwise behave like BABS. For absolute numbering, BABS was the best until my ASS came.
The latests few HAMA agent release are packaged with my ASS, the only thing that may be necessary is to edit the Absolute Sereis Scanner to point towards an absolute path for logs, but apparently is ok on windows.
Please indicate if you see the the custom logs from the scanner and your OS.
You can even create two libraries, and install babs and my agent to compare, so you can confirm my ASS (Absolute Series Scanner) is the best. i have very little feedback so please let me know of any issues.
Yesterday I installed sooo many scanners i could find (ASS, ABS, B-ABS,S-BABS) :blink: Also hama.bundle files from your page. Then made test folder and added few anime folders to check if these works. Atleast all scanners got working right somehow.
My problem is that anime Fairy Tail (FT) isn't getting info on hama and Plex get's 100 right but episode 14 is 114 etc.. The naming of these FT is: Fairy Tail episode 01.mkv etc.. is this right/good? Also sometimes scanners makes couple of folders of FT and these have randomly 1-3 files of the series like episode 131 (find out that this 131 was named with E on Episode when rest where with little e..?) Why?
And sometimes it when i tried to scan files but none of them shows on plex..they just disappeared.. had to install new test folder, add anime and then it works.. maybe reason was that didn't get info from place on internet? also Hama failed sometimes.
S-BABS says that you will need to include a tvdb.id file in the anime folder which contains the ID of the anime (which you obtain from TVDB) don't understand !! Does Plex create an folder named anime somewhere when I create TV-shows anime and I should also find folder named test while i'm trying to test these things?
. The scanner decide if the file shows in plex, and decide the ep number and season number from the filename
. The Agent populate that episode/serie/season with the metadata. it cannot remove or add fiels into plex
On Plex, you created a virtual folder which Plex calls "Library". This does not get created on your disk.
Which agent and scanner did you select?
(i recommend two folders for tests, like "Anime ASS" and "Anime BABS" and assign the corresponding scanner and HAMA as agent)
S-BABS needs a file tvdb.id containing the tvdbid. it is the id present in the url. For fairy tell it's 114801 [http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=114801&lid=7]. if you use S-BABS, that means you will use thetvdb agent since it will have seasons numbering, so you will not use my scanner nor my agent.
I made a package with both my scanner (which is the only one to do custom logs), and my agent
So I'm trying to edit my copy of ASS to pick up a different numbering scheme that a few of the animes I've run across use. Now, I'm new to Python, but I spent the 30 minutes I needed to write up a regex to properly identify the names. I tested it against pythonregex.com, and it picked up everything fine.
Now, my issue is that it isn't picking up the episodes still for some reason. Below is an example of the episode names, so maybe you'll be able to figure out what I've done wrong.
Big O [1-01] Roger the Negotiator.mkv
Big O [1-02] Dorothy Dorothy.mkv
Big O [1-03] Electric City.mkv
What's also odd is that a couple episodes are being picked up by the old regex searches, but they're not categorized correctly.
Big O [1-11] Daemonseed.mkv and Big O [2-10] Twisted Memories.mkv show up as Episode 151
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. The simple solution is for me to renumber the series, but I was hoping to come up with a script based solution so I don't have to make a habit of renaming series in the future.
Appreciate the response ZeroQI. Unfortunately that didn't resolve the issue. The episodes still aren't being picked up.
My guess at this point is that wherever in the script it IS picking up those few episodes erroneously, it's stopping at that point and not continuing to try the other regex's.
Also, I believe I found an error in your script as I was glancing over it. Line 285, when it goes to check if there are better matches other than just a date, it's referencing old functions. I'm guessing when you adapted this section from BABS, you forgot to change it.
I think I'm going to start learning some Python and see if I can't help work out this issue.
I put in the combo zip file, but I dont see the 'Plex*Custom.log' file anywhere? Here is my Plex Media Scanner if that helps after I deleted the previous log files to create a new one
@ShadowBlade72: if something matches, it doesn't try the rest... which is why the order is important at times, the most permissive must be last
@Mehdroid: you will need to edit the scanner code to enter a full path to be able to save said logs. i can see normal scanner logs... what's your issue? is there anything wrong i need to look for ?
ShowName - sXXeYY-eZZ.ext is the plex documented convention... If you want to edit the regex, duplicate the part that has the comment "S03E04-E05" and modify it it would work, please share back then and i would include if it doesn't disrupt other regex...
No issue, I am unsure on how to set the paths in the log function for the custom logs. Basically I do not know how to set the paths. researching currently. I wanted to at least post a log you were asking for
Easy Question: I should remove the # from the Windows line and update the path to match my machine...?
the custom log look like mine but nothing in it, looks like the files were already scanned at that point so weren't treated by the scanner again (they are processed once only). that log would give all the info of what is included or not.
Please re-create a library adding the folders with the issues and copy "com.plexapp.agents.hama.log" and "Plex Media Scanner Custom.log" after letting it look for metadata, and i shall see anything wrong. there is just no error or anything wrong i cna see in logs provided

Amazing. I only had one missed episode - Ghost in the Shell - Arise.
