Help With Simple TV Series Sorting

Post by klay »

All I really want TV sorting to do is create a TV sorting folder as "Series Name" then place files in that folder renamed with "Series Name - Season0xEpisode0x" as they are downloaded. This is the script I am using-- %sn\%sn - S%0sE%0e --but this creates one folder for the file then another and does not relabel the file itself. Also, at times the script I use appears to be repalced at odd times so I have to re-enter it and save. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

You should use this Sort expression:
%sn\%sn - S%0sE%0e.%ext
The .%ext part is essential to get the message across that you want a file instead of a folder.

Thank you. And that will place subsequent episodes in the same folder? This is a teaching hospital.

I think that quote is from an old TV show. You teach. I learn. Thank you!

This does not appear to work with NZBMatrix downloads--the folder is good but the file itself is not renamed. I am guessing this is because it is from NZBMatrix and not Newzbin?

You would have to give a actual nzbmatrix NZB that goes wrong.
Please PM the URL of the NZB on nzmatrix.

/complete/Breaking Bad/Season 1/Breaking Bad - 1x01 - Pilot/Bad101.avi

That's true.
The reason is a bug in Sorting.
If the file doesn't come from unpack action (as in this case, the segment files are just "joined"),
Sort doesn't see that it needs to rename the file.

I'm making good progress in resolving the reported issues.
