I imported the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, and there were a lot of mis-matches. I was fixing some of them as it worked on them, but I decided to go do something else. When I came back to finish fixing any incorrect matches, I noticed it was now making me go to the individual item detail view before I had the option to fix the match. I swear when I was doing this earlier, I could select fix match from the library view. Was I really imagining that, or is there some trick to making it give me the fix match option at the library view level?
Fix Match is only available on the show level. Not on the season level and not on the episode level.
And you should never do any edits until every server activity from adding new items has finished. Or else may be doing edits to items which are still in the process of getting updated.
There is no tv show âLooney Tunes Golden Collectionâ.
There is only âLooney Tunesâ
You can add your files as a tv show, then you must transfer your files into the context of the tv show âLooney Tunesâ.
Or, you can add each episode as a short movie, which due to the massive amount of movies, will probably only be practical if you create a completely separate library.
So, I did at it as a movie library of itâs own. And I found a spot where it is actually showing me the option at theâŠwell I am calling it the folder level, but I suppose it would be the library level? Where you see everything in the library.
I was waiting until the individual item was incorrectly matched, but itâs irrelevant now, as I am seeing the behavior and the entire library is processed.
So in one case, I get the option to fix match right from there, but in another, I donât. The issue, I donât think is the renaming, at least not yet. I want to tell it that the match is just wrong, but it isnât giving me the fix option in some cases unless I go into the detail view for the item. Screenshots show two items next to each other in the library, one has the option, the other doesnât, at this level, but itâs not clear to me why.
The fix match is not available on the main page for all items.
This would require a more complex database query when building the page. Which must not get too slow, so initially some datafields are not retrieved.
After you dive into the âpreplay pageâ of the item in question, you will have the option under the ellipsis in the upper right.
Same movie - if I click on the ⊠there is no âmatchâ or âfix matchâ option
However, If I click on the âeditâ icon and then click âcancelâ without making any changes - then the âfix matchâ option appears when I click the âŠ
Which makes this previous statement moot :
This would require a more complex database query when building the page.
Which must not get too slow, so initially some datafields are not retrieved.
On the contrary. It confirms it.
By clicking on âEditâ, you are fetching the rest of the metadata for this one movie from the database. Thatâs why afterwards the missing menu items become available for this one item.
Therefore: If you want to perform Match/Fix Match, click on the poster so youâll get to the Detail page of this movie.
The Match/Fix Match command will be available under the ellipsis ... in the upper, right corner.
I guess it just seems odd to me. As a database guy myself, it just seems odd that displaying a menu option to bring up the interface for changing any given item would make the query any worse. Presumably you already have the internal unique identifiers available for any given thing, so why doesnât the option to edit just always render? Saying that it would make the query more complex implies you donât have that identifier? But then how does the edit page know enough to display the specific item that then allows you to fix a match?
I was just puzzled because it seemed very inconsistent and odd that the edit option isnât just there for every item. From a UI/UX perspective, since it seems inconsistent and unpredictable when it happens, as much as I donât like using the convenience, Iâd suggest the interface should just never show the fix option at the library level. It feels like a thing that should be an always or never show it, not a sometimes show it.
So, really, Iâm not necessarily saying fix match should always be there. Of course I would like that. But more importantly, understandable consistent UI what I want. As it is right now itâs confusing because itâs not consistent.
