The Voice UK

General Support / Questions Metadata and Renaming
1

I am bringing in the Voice UK files and expecting them to folderize by show and then series like all the “US” shows I record do. But it ends up doing

The Voice UK S08E13

  • Series 8
    • S8E13 - Episode 13

The Voice UK S08E14

  • Series 8
    • S8E14 - Episode 14

If it worked like all my other shows would have done:

The Voice UK

  • Series 8
    • S8E13 - Episode 13
    • S8E14 - Episode 14

Note I imagine from this piece of the logs it can’t find it but The Voice UK does exist in TMDB so curious:

Thoughts?

Thanks JR

What version of MCEBuddy are you using?

3

2.4 release 8

4

I would recommend updating to 2.4 Release 10 and post back if you’re still seeing an issue along with the conversion log.

5

Unfortunately I may never know if this dot release would fix my obscure problem since the show is off the air for the season.

I ran your filename through 2.4.10 and it looks like it’s parsing the name and details correctly so it should work fine:

2.4.8 seems to be parsing it as:

Title: The Voice UK S08E14

That’s why your folder structure doesn’t match what you expect.

We update the metadata matching engine with each release because the internet databases are constantly changing so it’s important to keep MCEBuddy up to date to keep the metadata matching running smoothly.
