File Renaming and Rescanning...

[jbmia]

So, I went down the MediaTitles.xml route and spun out a few hours without much success... Here's an example:

I tried these variants...

<file><regex>[\\/]Magnum</regex>
<file><regex>[\\/]Magnum.-</regex>
<file><regex>[\\/]Magnum*</regex>

on this rule...

<match>
<file><regex>[\\/]Magnum</regex>
<title>Magnum, P.I. </title>
<metadata type="tv" name="tvdb"74380</metadata>
</match>

and this file:
/mnt/samba/Videos/Magnum.P.I.S01.DVDRip.XViD-uDF/magnum.p.i.0116.dvdrip.xvid-udf.avi

Didn't having any success getting the metadata picked using this method, so I went at it from a batch file renaming approach... thinking that if I can get the files / folders named with the proper syntax I can solve the challenge from that angle...

So I named the above file, to this:
"Magnum PI - S01E16 - Dvdrip Xvid-udf.Avi"

but, as evidenced in the BMT details for this file, SageTV wants to keep it named the original name: "magnum.p.i.0116.dvdrip.xvid-udf.avi" instead of picking up the new renamed file name (above) that is now displayed in file manager.

Oddly, the file will still play in SageTV even though it has a completely different name now... which seems indicative that SageTV is tracking the file with some other identifier...

Anywho, I'd really appreciate some advice here.. I've spent about 5 hours here trying to put together an automated process that will prevent downstream tedium... unfortunately, it's slow going and fruitless... I prefer the MediaTitles.xml route since an effective script there is less time consuming than the file renaming, but either of those is immensely better than manually going through that effort of individually going through each one and "update metadata".. changing them from movie to TV, retyping the title properly, searching.. tell me it needs a season and episode and so on and so...

(btw, if it's not clear these are imported, not recorded)

Any assistance/direction would be greatly appreciated...

delirious,

You xml is not valid... i'm not sure where you copied your example from, but you have a <file> tag in there?? (and the metadata tag wasn't properly closed)

try this...

<match>
               	<regex>[\\/]Magnum</regex>
                <title>Magnum, P.I. </title>
                <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">74380</metadata>
</match>

Reload the mediatitles (via the web ui; Configuraion -> Reload Configurations)

I also recently updated the MediaTitles section of the user guide, to include a complete example. BTW, when editing Xml files, it would be beneficial to use an Xml validating editor. YOu issues seem to come from the fact that your xml entry wasn't valid xml. I don't know of any Xml editors for windows, but perhaps people could suggest one.

Thanks for the help!

I changed my rule to this:

<titles>
        <!--
	A Match can contain a regex that will be used to match against the path$
        then set the fields, title, year, or id, into the search query.
        -->
	<match>
               	<regex>[\\/]Tom.*</regex>
                <title>Tom and Jerry</title>
                <year>1940</year>
                <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">72860</metadata>
         </match>

        <match>
               	<regex>[\\/]Magnum</regex>
                <title>Magnum, P.I. </title>
                <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">74380</metadata>
        </match>
</titles>

but I'm still not getting this file picked up:

/mnt/samba/Videos/Magnum.P.I.S01/magnum.p.i.0110.dvdrip.xvid-udf.avi

Any suggestions? Should "Magnum" be "magnum" or "Magnum*"
The first rule, for Tom & Jerry, doesn't seem to work either.. I'm having a hard time understanding how to write these regex arguments so the files are properly picked up and evaluated...

Another quick question:
I've deleted some video files from my share... deleted them from a file manager, not from within SageTV. The challenge I'm having is, they've dissappeared from SageTV, but they're not flushing out of the BTM database... They still show when I run a search from within BMT... What do I need to do to flush these old entries from BMT?

Thanks again.

It may not be apparent, but when you are matching, you are matching against a file path. So if your file is magnum then you'll need to use magnum and not Magnum. (ie case does matter, although I should probably change that to do case insensitive matching, but I live in an OS where 'magnum' is not the same as 'Magnum', or I never really think about it )

BMT does not have it's own database. It querries its information from the sagetv database on the fly. If you have deleted them from sagetv, then you'll need to tell sagetv to refresh it's library to reflect the missing files. (You can use the "refresh" action on the bmt web ui toolbar)

[jbmia]

LOL... I should know that.. I'm typing this from within Ubuntu right now.. I'll give the MediaTitles.xml a whirl with that in mind...

I think I've got something wrong with the database reads... "refresh library" is not updating anything.. my understanding is that it only checks for "new" files anyway... but regardless, it's not updating in BMT..

For example, I have this file listed in BMT, but it doesn't exist any longer in the actual folder and the folder is no longer defined in the SageTV media import directories.. and I've already run a rescan:

"/mnt/samba/Videos/Magnum.P.I.S01.DVDRip.XViD-uDF/magnum.p.i.0102.dvdrip.xvid-udf.avi"

What am I doing wrong?

You could do a quick restart of the sagetv service and see if the data disappears on a restart. Perhaps bmt is caching the data... but I didn't think so.

[jbmia]

So.. I'm running the linux version on Amahi... the process I've followed is:

- remove the imported shares
-- /mnt/samba/videos
-- /mnt/samba/movies
- stop the sage server (/opt/sagetv/server/stopsage)
- deleted the files in the shares...
- restart the sagetv server
- readd the imported shares

Yet, BMT still shows the files when I do a search, even though the files no longer appear in SageTV... to be more specific.. I'm doing a "search" for "magnum" and the files I've deleted from the share are still displaying...

I even deleted the wiz.bin file (took a backup) and the files still show in BMT...

So, the data is DEFINITELY being stored somewhere... Given that, what do you think??

Well, given that bmt doesn't have it's own store, and it reads directly from the wiz.bin using the sagetv apis... i'd have to say that either the data is still in the wiz.bin... or your browser is caching the pages. Maybe try using another browser or try clearing caches to see if that helps. Even if bmt was caching data (which I don't think it does), a sever restart would definately clear that out.

I add/remove sources all the time on my dev setup, and I've never seen this issue.

[jbmia]

Wow.. as crazy as that sounded, that's appears to be have been the issue... I'm using Google Chrome (Ubuntu)... I flushed the cache and it cleared out the old data that was confusing things.. Wouldn't have expected for the browser to pull up local cache data when I'm running a search on a folder on a completely different machine.. Go figure.

The file renaming appears to be working and the tips you provided on MediaTitles.xml paid off.. Many thanks for your assistance!

Also, I may have overlooked something, but is there some documentation you'd recommend I study that provides more details on the syntax for the MediaTitles.xml rules?

Thanks again for helping me through this!

I've updated the user guide to include samples for the media titles. Really, once you understand regex portion, it's not that hard... you are just mapping file patterns to tvdb ids. (I think there is a link to some regex guide in the user guide as well, but for the most part, the samples should show how you map recordings)

[Spectrum]

Stuckless, since BMT seems to have an issue with caching (something I've hit in the past as well) have you looked at any server side instructions to prevent browsers from caching?

Something as simple as

<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

in the head section might be enough.

Just curious if it's something you have looked into.

I could certainly add that into the entrypoint page (there is only one html page for bmt). But once that small page is loaded, everything else happens over XHR... and I'm using GWT, so, I'm basically writing everything in java. I'm not sure how much control I have over the cashing in their protocol. Personally, I've never seen the issue of bmt caching anything beyond the user's session (ie, close a browser and the cache is cleared). I typically use Chrome, but I also run it under FF from time to time as well. I never run it under IE, because I would have to fire up a vmware session for that.

[Spectrum]

Ahh XHR and GWT. Never walked that path so I have no idea if they pay any attention to the meta tags. It may or may not (more likely not) prevent caching. Isn't IE that thing you use to download Firefox on a fresh install?

No, I use the synaptic package manager for that... I've never seen IE on a fresh install

OK. Not seeing the error.

For some reason, It does not appear to be catching/using the MediaTitles.xml or I don't understand quite how to use it.

Attached are the log files. They keep wanting to use the 1963 series, not the 2005 series which I am trying to point to in the MediaTitles.xml

When BMT uses the MediaTitles, it will test the ENTIRE path of the media file against the regular expression that is provided, and the regular expression behaves like a contains search on the path. So, it is not just testing the filename, but rather the file path, including the parent directories, etc. So in this case you are trying to force every thing that is in a folder called DoctorWho-.* (If that works for folders) In this case, instead of using a <title> element, you’ve used a <metadata> element and you’ve given it the metadata provider, tvdb, and the series id on tvdb for the original Doctor Who series which has a series id of 78804. So, in this example, you're forcing everything that has a folder in it's path of \DoctorWho-.*\ (not sure if that works.) in it’s path to use tvdb series id 78804.

If you are just trying to get it to match the title this would work:
<match>
<regex>[\\/]DoctorWho </regex>
<title>Doctor Who</title>
</match>
This would fix the title. If you are trying to correct for a particular year of Doctor Who you would use this:

<match>
<regex>[\\/]DrWho-.*</regex>
<title>Dr. Who</title>
<year>2009</year>
<metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">78804</metadata>
</match>


I think.

Tried it with the above.
DoubleChecked case sensitivity, the ID from thetvdb for Doctor Who (2005) which is 78804. The ID for the original Doctor Who from 1963 is 76107.

Not sure what I did different, but it is working now.

<match>
<regex>[\\/]DoctorWho-.*</regex>
<title>Doctor Who (2005)</title>
<year>2005</year>
<metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">78804</metadata>
</match>

Really liking the results in my testing.
Great Job.

You got rid of the trailing directory separator ([\\/]) which now finds all files that are Doctor Who instead of all Directories that are Doctor Who ( as per Gerry's note)

D'oh. At least I'll learn from this and at least won't make that same mistake.
