Truncating Filenames

Post by pxr5 »

Hi all,

I have the Show name>Season# with all the shows in that one folder correctly. But, since the update to 3.4.0, the filename is being truncated for all TV shows:

e.g.
TV.Show.Example.S01E01.720p.WEB.h264-Ntb.mkv

becomes

TV.Show.Example.S01E01-.mkv

I haven't made any changes and the sort string was/is:

%sn/Season %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext

Thanks

The whole section at the end is no long falsely detected as the episode name, as it only contains information about the encoding etc.
So actually this is an improvement.

Thanks for the reply safihre. So is there anyway I can get it back to the way it was? I do prefer seeing the encoding/release group info.

You can now decide what you want part of the final filename. So in Config > Sorting, click "Pattern Key" button to see the list of all available new options.
For example to get the release group, you can add:

Code: Select all

%GI<release_group>
