Shouldn't this filename be scraped?

[matt91]

I downloaded some netflix videos via the PlayLater app. It saves the files in a
"Series - SxxExx - Episode Title" format. This format seems to be one that BMT should pickup without modification (example of acceptable formats from the userguide "House - S01E01 - Episode Title.avi")

My files all look like:

Orange Is the New Black - S01E06 - WAC Pack.mp4

but they aren't picked up. when i renamed one of them to:

Orange Is the New Black.S01E01.mp4

BMT scraped it and found the match.

I suppose I can rename these by hand, but i was hoping that these would be picked up automagically.

Thanks

I'm not sure what's going on, but if I change anything in that filename, Sage picks up the file and it gets appropriately scraped. I tried all kinds of small changes, and they all resulted in a 'hit.' But leaving the file alone results in it not getting imported at all.

None of that necessarily helps me since I wanted to have some of this automated, but I did use my google-fu to teach myself a little bit about the linux rename command.

I just ran a command to rename the <space><hyphen><space> to be a period instead. Works like a champ. (e.g., rename -v 's/ - /.' *.mp4)

Had sage already imported that particular file, and something else prevented it from being scraped at that time? if so, it isn't going to scrape it again, unless it is forced to. (Changing the name caused sage to see it as a new file, and then scraped it).

Initially, i assumed that Sage found them and imported then, but they just weren't scraped.

However, I did alittle detective work, and I couldn't find them anywhere in Sage (checked the log; looked in archived files; search via jetty www server). So, i think that not only were they they not scraped (obviously), but they weren't even imported.

So i don't think that my question is really for BMT - but rather just a Sage question in general. Not sure why they weren't imported.

Might try, with the original name, to 'touch' the file (change the date), and see if sage picks it up. I'm thinking it, at some point, DID see it, and recorded it in the wiz.bin, but something got goofed up in that one-time process, and it won't normally try again on a file it's already processed (even if that process didn't complete properly)

interesting idea. will try that next time i download some shows.

appreciate the input.

For those anxiously awaiting the results of this...

I grabbed some additional shows last night, and sage imported them, and BMT scraped them, without any issue with their original filename.

So, i have no idea what happened the first time, but all seems well now.
