Here’s some of the “inside scoop” stuff which is about to show up in the documentation :slight_smile:

A. The new augmented naming syntax for movies, where the new additions are optional

`Name (Year) {attribute: value} [Optional invisible info]

( ) - Parenthesis for the year – per existing

[ ] - Brackets for all optional (and invisible) data – per existing

{ } - Braces to delineate the new optional attributes: imdb, tmdb, thetvdb, etc

B. - Granularity of movie settings be set on the individual items instead of being global only.

  1. Subtitles
  2. Language
  3. Agent
  4. (pretty sure there are a few more but I’ve been too busy to learn them all)

C. Will there be a new TV scanner – YES!

The theme of the new movie scanner & agent extends into the TV scanner & agent.

D. .plexignore works and no longer descends the tree .

1, It chops off the ignored path immediately when the regex matches
2. It won’t waste time / bandwith to rclone libraries

====================================

Some other things we’ve tested / played with (mostly played with to learn - which work and are official)

  1. Radarr and other tools (FileBot) seem ok with adding {tmdb: {TmdbId}}.
    We went with the new delimiters to make renaming and removal of the new naming easier. Removing then is a find -exec script where ‘script’ does a echo | sed with a regex to remove \{.*\}
  2. Collections min threshold works pretty well (1 - 4 thresholds for now. more can be added as needed).
  3. Collection info currently only with TMDB but that’s not where it it will stop.
