Need help with .properties files

[evilpenguin]

I'm trying to sort out some bad metadata i've got via .properties files and for some reason i'm just missing something. When I let BMT grab the metadata my imported video list shows EpisodeName in the video list...

But when I generate the .properties files manually (based off of how BMT does it) and let Sage pick them up I end up with the Title...

My .properties files look like this...

MediaType=TV
Title=Deadwood
MediaTitle=Deadwood
Actor=Molly Parker -- Alma Garret;\nIan McShane -- Al Swearengen;\nTimothy Olyphant -- Seth Bullock;\nJim Beaver -- Whitney Ellsworth;\nJohn Hawkes -- Sol Star;\nBrad Dourif -- Doc Cochran;\nLeon Rippy -- Tom Nuttall;\nRobin Weigert -- Calamity Jane;\nDayton Callie -- Charlie Utter;\nEarl Brown -- Dan Dority;\nPaula Malcomson -- Trixie;\nWilliam Sanderson -- E.B.

Description=After executing a last act of justice as a Montana marshal, Seth Bullock relocates to a gold-mining camp known as Deadwood, where he and partner Sol Star look to start a hardware business. Bullock soon crosses paths with another new arrival - legendary gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok - and clashes with the formidable boss of the Gem Saloon, Al Swearengen. For his part, Swearengen must handle the deadly result of a run-in between one of his whores and a trick, while brokering the sale of a gold claim to wealthy New York socialite Brom Garret. When reports come of the massacre of a frontier family by Indians, a suspicious Bullock and Hickok ride out in search of survivors; for Swearengen, the results are bad for business.

It would appear that because Sage thinks this is a Movie, then it ignores the EpisodeName field.

BMT doesn't use properties anymore, but rather I use the SetMediaFileMetadata, so sage doesn't have the option to ignore the EpisodeName field

You could try, as an experiment, setting ExternalID=EPShowS01E01 (or something like) and then have sage import the file. It will show up under recordings, but I wonder if it will honor the EpisodeName then, because it thinks it's a TV recording.

I'll play around with that, but for now I just got frustrated took the nuclear option and just purged all my imported videos from Sage and then re-imported them

Also, a quick bug report, the Total Success field isn't updating in the WebUI scan dialog anymore (Total Failure is though).

Maybe you never had any successes

I'll add a bug for it and check it out

[evilpenguin]

Ahh, now i'm cooking, BMT got my mess all straightened out

Caught another bug though, got confused by the filename

Futurama 4x11 - 30% Iron Chef.mkv

Tried to treat the % as a formating char and threw an exception.

[evilpenguin]

Oh, also can you mod title-00x00.xml and title-s00e00.xml to allow for 3 digit episode numbers, i've got a few Anime shows that its missing due to this.

.*[/\\](.*)[es]([0-9]{1,2})[sexp]{1,2}([[0-9]]+)

.*[/\\](.*)[ .\[]([0-9]{1,2})x([[0-9]]+)

I have an open bug about special characters in the title, but I had no idea what it meant Maybe this is it... I'll update the bug with this information.

Sure, that's a quick one... so I'll update the xml tonight.
