I'm really excited about this feature. I suspect it will be tweaked to better accommodate different naming and file structure standards over time.
I've had mixed success so far...
FilmA lot of downloaded backups (torrents etc) have this naming structure:
The.Three.Musketeers.1973.720p.BluRay.X264-7SinS.mkv
My file path is: O:\Sorting\#Film\#Torrentday
All it's pulling is [Media Subtype]=Movie
I think this scheme is common enough for MC to be able to pull
[Name]=The Three Musketeers
[Year]=1973
[Media Subtype]=Movie
I also like to store what the original "media source" was (in this case 'BluRay')
It would be nice if MC could recognise the common ones like DVDRip, BluRay, HDTV, PDTV, VHS, HDDVD etc and store these in a field by default.
TelevisionA pretty representative filename for an episode:
File Path: O:\Sorting\#Television\#Torrentday\Battlestar.Galactica.S03.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-REPTiLE
Filename: Battlestar.Galactica.S03E01.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-REPTiLE
Again, not much luck:
- [Name]=Bluray.Dts-Reptile
- [Season]=01
- [Episode]=03
- [Series]=Battlestar.Galactica (can we drop the full stop "." ?)
- [Media Subtype]=TV Show
----------------
Once I'm happy with the fields, I rename from properties. My naming scheme goes as follows (I've also showed what MC picks up if I then attempt to run Carnac)
FilmO:\Film\Aladdin (1992)\Aladdin (1992).mkv
Picks up:
- [Name]=Aladdin
- [Year]=1992
- [Media Subtype]=Movie
Awesome
Television, however doesn't work with my scheme.
TelevisionO:\Television\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 6\Doctor Who - 6-08. Let's Kill Hitler.mkv
Picks up
- [Series]=Doctor Who (2005) Should really just be 'Doctor Who'
- [Season]=6
- [Media Subtype]=TV Show
- Misses [Episode] (08) and [Name] (Let's Kill Hitler)
