Formula1 scanner

Hi DaVideoPlex. Can you explain your folder structure? I’m adding MotoGP and F1 but they all end up in the MotoGP section. Here’s my folder structure;

MotoGP
/Volumes/HTPC 03/Sport/Motorsport/MotoGP/Season 2015/MotoGP.2015.06.27.Motul.TT.Assen.720p.HDTV.mkv

F1
/Volumes/HTPC 03/Sport/Motorsport/F1/Season 2015/F1.2016.03.20.Australian.Grand.Prix.720p.HDTV.mkv

I also tried “Formula 1”, “Formula.1” and “Formula 1” but they all ended up in the MotoGP section.

Thanks.

Hey @robflate and @DaVideoPlex , check out release 0.2 on my github page, read the guide for folder structures (you may or may not need to change yours) and let me know if you have any issues.

@robflate - This latest update was done specifically to address your issues raised here.

Hi,

somewhat late to the party but have questions!

Trying to install this for F1 but struggling…

running plex on a Windows 7 Box.

copied /Scanners and /SportScanner.bundle

folders to:

/Users/user/AppData/Local/Plex Media Server/

restarted plex, went to add a library, and under advanced, nothing?

what am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!

How about someone (manually) creating all info about the coming season in the TVDB.com, wouldn’t that make it a lot easier? To be able to utilise the existing agent for the information?

It’ll get deleted.

Thank you soooo much for this! I had been manually editing labels for years and finally decided to look for a better solution since the method I was using broke over a year ago and caused updated data to get wiped out every time a new file was scanned & added. Very frustrating. This solves ALL of my problems. You guys rock!

How do I best use this scanner with a library of F1 races?
My library structure is Formula 1/Formula 1 (year)/Formula 1 (date) (round) (location)/(FP1/FP2/qualifying/post qualifying/race build up/race/post race)
I installed it and get a bizarre structure: Formula 1/Formula 1 (year)/Season 1/Episode/One episode with multiple copies

I had expected to go to the Formula 1 library then see Season (year) then race then type (FP1/FP2/Qualifying etc.
I would hope to see Season artwork, Race artwork (venue/track related) and generic artwork for FP1/FP2 but just something that allows me to browse the content would be good.

Is that achievable? I notice the scanner is not maintained and that Season artwork is not supported.

Try setting your directory structure up like this:

Motorsports\Formula 1\Season 2017

With the filenames like this:

Formula.1.2017-05-28.Monaco.Grand.Prix.Race.UNCUT.Release.Info

That is how mine is currently configured and the only manual updates I need to do are to add the date to the filename. Plex will parse and sort by date and pulls the “title” field for Plex listing out of the filename.
