I am doing this myself easily!
You just need to create a rclone union pointing to a "metadata" directory that is read-write and a "media" directory that is :ro or readonly.
​
TMM will write all files to the "metadata" directory but kodi will see the combined tree.
add season to your file name and see if that works. ie: S00E01, S01E01. When in doubt look up how the show is listed on https://thetvdb.com/
show name - season x episode number - episode title.extension
someone in thisand otherforums suggested using emby add on to change the nfo/metadata
What do you see as Genre tags in the emby metadata manager for the movie
(genres will be located near the bottom of the list of fields). This is
what would effect where the movie appears under Genres in Kodi. You can
adjust or remove the unwanted tag and hit save. That should update the
title in Kodi and fix the issue. Let me know.
It depends, how your files are named, and how the scraper site does the episode listing.
If the S/EE number matches, there should be no mess...
Can you give us an example of your files?
Where do you scrape?
TVDB looks just fine...? eg https://thetvdb.com/series/doctor-who/seasons/official/4
tmm is mainly designed for GUI usage - that's why you need to do more _complex_ things inside the UI (like choosing the right movie if there is no good match).
The rules for finding a match are the same as for the "automatic search and scrape" (this is kinda the cli script does :) ) - https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/movies/settings#automatic-scraper . There you set the threshold where tmm should decide if the match from the scraper is good enough (levensthein distance of the search string). Nevertheless - if you put the IMDB id _somewhere_ in the file name OR in a text file (.txt or .nfo) with the same name as movie file, this will be picked up by tmm and greatly enhance the matching
tbh - I've _never_ used the cli script myself because the GUI action in tmm are extremely powerful and fast - AND you have full control over the results (because there is no interaction in the cli version and you have to look afterwards if everything has been done right).
Thanks, those all seem like ideas that could work.
To answer your question on if any provider lists as a movie, the answer is both yes and no, but more no. I had one of them at Trakt.tv as a movie, but discovered on an update that there was an issue. Turns out that it was "corrected" at TMDB, thus also changed at Trakt. So while there might still be some listing as a movie, as data is corrected over time, those listing are disappearing. So I do not feel comfortable relying on such sources.
For your initial suggestion, am I correct by interpreting that you list S01E01E02 all in the one filename?
the response from trakt looks strange as soon as we pass a language to the request. If I do not pass any language to the request, I get 11 results instead of 3 ?!
looks like we have to strip out the language from the search to improve the results we get from trakt.tv :(
to be honest: a match with title will only work if there is a 100% match - and if you already have a 100% perfect match, you probably don't need tmm any more :D
I've written a long answer about that topic somewhere (can't remember) - but just look at the episode names of the show 24 (https://thetvdb.com/series/24-show/seasons/official/1) and you will see that a ~90% match will only produce false positives here :(
Nevertheless we do have a feature request about an episode matching dialog, but I did not have time to form this idea into a usable piece of code - maybe that is the missing piece of glue to make this part of tmm perfect
Well, yes, kinda.
First of all, TMM and other programs cannot identify in which order a particular series is - so per default, we scrape them 1:1 as we identify them by S/EE numbers. It depends on the scraper, what their default is (guess mostly aired)
There is also a quite new feature(request) for episode groups https://gitlab.com/tinyMediaManager/tinyMediaManager/-/issues/1138 which explains the problem even further, where sites can declare an unlimited number of possible named orderings :|
Take this episode for example (look at the top left)
https://thetvdb.com/series/undeclared/episodes/118011
It has 3 different S/EE numbers... !!!
And the ordering names can be basically anything (from "my personal ordering" to anything the site allows for grouping/ordering)
So even with tagging et all, we NEVER would guess it right, or be able to scrape it w/o manually choosing the "ordering".
tl;dr
What can be done on our end is, to check for mnultiple orderings and ask the user, which to take. You have to make sure for yourself to have your files in that particular ordering, or your listing will be a complete mess afterwards... might work for one site, but scraping some metadata with another scraper again will mess this up (since potential differrent ordering)
How to proceed... i have no idea... but differrent orderings make more problems than they solve (imho).
in the settings there are only commonly used parameters (which do have a a short alias in the code). The imdb rating for is not there because this is not widely used in this area
you can find a documentation, what you can access via JMTE: https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/jmte
ok
for the moment i use Rename My TV Series 2 to get absolute order files to tv aired or dvd order

That would be because Bob Saget and Rob Lowe episodes are listed under "Comedy Cetral Roasts" TV Show (and that would be correct Series title), whereas all the other are listed under Movies (and you have ALL of them under your Movies library).
I'd suggest you either rename those manually or make them all as TV Show and scrape from TVDB or TMDB, where they are listed as such.
https://thetvdb.com/series/comedy-central-roasts/seasons/official/1
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/12849-comedy-central-roast/season/1
It may not be understanding how you have your files organized, or named. The typical is to have only one show under a folder, with episodes having season/episode numbering in the filename somewhere, like Cowboy Bebop S01E02 (or 1x08). There are acceptable examples in the link below. Also, if you go into settings, tv shows, renamer, you can select your show/episode number from the drop downs and all the variables it's picking up from that file will be shown in the table at the bottom of the page.
I had to reference tinyMediaManager installation and a kodi website that was trying to get it to work. References are below:
So I do not see a _real_ solution for your problem other than just execute the post processing on the first/last movie.
the patterns you probably need are ${movie.path} or ${movie.dataSource}
tinyMediaManager is designed to be a portable map without the need to be installed. Having the configs and database in your home folder would take the option to run several instances in parallel. So it is not in our interest to do it that way.
Nevertheless there is a start parameter where you can set the desired path for your data: https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/start-parameters (-Dtmm.contentfolder) which can achieve what you want (the guys from arch did that with the AUR version of tmm). But be aware - running tmm this way denies any sort of automatic updates and we will not change our code for auto updating!
tmm is not logging to syslog - it is only logging to the console (stdout/stderr)
You could change the severity of logging with "-Dtmm.consoleloglevel=ERROR" in the launcher-extra.yml (https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/start-parameters)
Did you already work with: https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/commandline
--There are example scripts as well.
If that doesn't help:
Are you having a problem with your current set of instructions?
Are you using v3 or v4 of tMM?
>had already clicked the "rename" button befor
Are you renaming before you scrape?
https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/tvshows/renamer
I thought it would pickup the episode name as well from your scraper source but only if you scrape first. Sorry if this isn't helping. Again, I don't usually use the renamer in tMM.
Thanks for your reply
I have done and it's a great tool, but I want to install on raspberry pi OS as I don't want to unmount the HDD each time I need to scrape for data.
According to https://www.tinymediamanager.org/download/ it is possible to do this and have a download link for Linux.
the option exist at https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/movies/settings#enable-extra-artwork - but be aware that this only works for folders with only one movie
I'd suggest you to use the RC (pre-release) build instead of the nightly build which is much more stable:

>If it were me, I'd put my money on TMM
... and I suppose I'd lose some, as Luke caved-in unusually fast.
Guess he grew tired of Emby being argumentedly called-out.
Anyway, it appears it'll be sorted soon enough.
Good one. 👍
TinyMediaManager is portable, so all its files are stored in its own folder. To back it up you can simply copy or upload the whole folder.
I use Syncthing to sync any changes immediately to a copy on my NAS.
