I am using Tablo ripper to get files to my hard drive as here:
I want them to end up in one of 2 locations depending on if the file is from a CURRENT TV SHOWS or a MOVIES.
Do I use 2 monitor locations and 2 conversion tasks?
Or do I just monitor the one location TabloRipper-MCEBuddy and have a single conversion task and filter movie or Tv show in that conversion Task string?
The output is going to PLEX and I don’t want to run the conversion task 2 times per file:
I could find no guidance in the documentation to pertain to this issue. I do understand that running 2 tasks will cause files to be processed twice. That I did find.
I have been going around and around with the advance commands and still can’t get it to not process 2X. once for movies and once for TV shows. I have tried using the %ismovie% command and just don’t understand all of the programming syntax to use this command.
When a movie gets dropped in the TV folder after processing it gets tagged wrongly because PLEX is using the TVDB for Current TV SHOWS versus IMDB for movies.
Id like to be able to have it say:
Is this a movie? yes after processing drop in MOVIES folder & tag as showname ( premiere Year) ,But if not a movie put it in Current TV shows /showname folder/season/episode episode name.
Thanks Sorry if i’m being hard headed but i am NOT a programmer.
Again it depends upon your setup and metadata available.
If all your source files are in the same folder AND they contains the metadata telling MCEBuddy whether it’s a movie or a show you can use the following method:
You can use a single monitor location and single conversion task for this.
Set your Monitor location to monitor the folder which contains your movies and tv shows
Set your destination folder in the conversion task to TabloRipper-MCEBuddy
Just select custom renaming and in the renaming pattern you can do this: %ismovie%<Movies\%showname%,TV Shows\%showname%-%episodename%>
If the source files are in different directories OR they don’t have the metadata identifying whether it’s a movie or not then you can use the following strategy:
Setup a monitor location to monitor your Movies folder
Create a conversion task to convert your movies and set your destination folder accordingly
In the conversion task expert settings page click on Select Monitor Locations and then select the monitor location you create above for Movies
Similarly create a separate Monitor Location for your TV Shows and separate Conversion Task for your TV Shows and in the expert settings Link your TV Show Monitor Location to your TV Show Monitor task
This was you’ll have 2 separate tasks for Movies and Shows and each linked to their own Monitor Locations (one is to one mapping).
Ik zie geen knop of optie “Selecteer Monitorlocaties” op de Expert-instellingenpagina voor een conversietaak. Zonder deze kan ik geen aparte gemonitorde locatie toewijzen aan afzonderlijke conversietaken. Eén voor films en één voor tv. Ik zou het op prijs stellen als iemand kan helpen. Bedankt!
De monitors monitoren altijd. Ze zetten alleen bestanden op de lijst voor de taken om te verwerken. Je moet de bestandsnaamfilters gebruiken in de taakconfiguratie/instellingen met aparte taken die verschillende dingen doen met bestanden in verschillende mappen. Dus een “films” taak met een bestandsnaamfilter voor de filmsmap, en een aparte “series” taak met een ander bestandsnaamfilter voor de seriesmap.
Alles op de lijst met bestanden die de monitors daar zetten wordt door elke taak verwerkt. Gebruik de filters om de taak te vertellen wat overgeslagen moet worden. Je moet ervoor zorgen:
minstens één van je filters zal proberen het bestand te verwerken (d.w.z. om te testen of het al verwerkt is),
slechts één van je filters zal proberen het bestand te verwerken (of de sla-over-bij-dubbel-instelling aanzetten)
