Movies saving as TV episodes in TV folder
Added by brainfryd 4 months ago
Hi everyone,
I run a particular folder that all my movies and Tv epsiodes get d'led into (\\"PC-Name"\Dropbox). I have metabrowser watch this folder for TV episodes and these are automatically sorted, moved, renamed etc. This part works great and I used to then move my movies manually into another folder for metabrowser to process as movies, however for a while now I've noticed that my movies are being processed as if they were tv episodes despite having no 'sXXeXX' formatting in the file name, which i thought was needed for TV episodes to be recognised.
The movies are all renamed and placed into a named folder with an extra folder "Season 7", into which the actual movie file is placed ... so it looks like this .. \\MEDIA-PC\TV Shows\"Movie Name"\Season 7\Movie.ext. All other files are left behind in the 'dropbox' folder and no metadata is found at all for these, but this is not unexpected, just fyi.
As I said, this seems to have only recently started, tho i couldn't pinpoint a version change or specfic version to triggered if any, does anyone have any ideas what i may have changed to trigger this behaviour or how to solved. I've been meaning to post about this for ages but have been trying to figure what changed in my config.
BTW - The 'dropbox' folder for tv is not a media location for movies.. i'm happy manually moving them into the correct movie folder
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey,
This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next update, see bug #723.
It was introduced in this version with feature #682, which added SEE episode detection for episode sorting, but has caused more trouble as it is misidentifying movies for episodes.

I'm sorry I don't know exactly what you mean, can you explain?
For anything to be identified as TV you should put files under a valid season folder, as anything under a valid season folder will be identified as TV.
