Elisa won't pick up tv series 'xxxHolic'

[Andrew O'Neil]

Elisadoesn't add my TV Show 'xxxHolic' to the tv shows listing. The folder is called xxxHolic, and the eps inside are named 1x01. EPisode name.avi etc.

If I change the folder name to another tv show, Elisa picks up that tv show just fine.

As seen by this link http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=xxxHolic thetvdb has no problems finding the TV Show.

That's why the xxx characters are removed before trying the lookup on
thetvdb.com.

But don't worry you'll seen be able to recategorize and do a manual new
lookup of this TV series:

Sorry, just to clarify - why is xxx removed from the series lookup?

[Philippe Normand (philn)]

Well we have a list of terms we remove from the filenames, like dvdrip,
divx, 720p, etc.. The full list:

dumbthings = "ac3|custom|dc|divx|dsr|dsrip|dutch|dvd|dvdrip|"\
                     "dvdscr|dvdscreener|fragment|fs|hdtv|internal|
limited|"\
                     "multisubs|ntsc|ogg|ogm|pal|pdtv|proper|repack|
rerip|"\
                     "retail|r3|r5|svcd|swedish|german|read.nfo|
nfofix|"\
                     "unrated|ws|telesync|telecine|bdrip|720p|1080p|
hddvd|"\
                     "bluray|x264|xvid|xxx".split("|")

(in database/video_parser.py).

We do so to "clean" up the query we do to themoviedb and thetvdb APIs.

Right, is there a possible workaround to this? Maybe if there is no TV Series find after the query is cleaned, you could try querying with the so called 'dumbthings' in it?

[Philippe Normand (philn)]

As already mentionned in a previous comment, you'll soon be able to move
video between the TVShows/Movies/Unorganized categories.

If you feel adventurous I can push a work-in-progress branch of the
implementation of that blueprint.

Yeah I understand that there will soon be the ability to manually reorganise videos, but I still think that some thought should be put into fixing the automatic detection of shows which have one of the 'dumbthings' character sequences in it.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Agreed. Even if we'll soon be offering the possibility to manually re-categorize, we should still try to make the first automatic pass as good as possible.
