Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Doubts and Facts
If you wish I can issue the item individually.

Reminder: I haven't used it in a long time. Since 2015.
So I don't remember if it was always like this.
So I'll just see.

SERIES (TV Show) 2.8.4

1 Filter = only works for Title, specifically Local Title.

2 Make Scrapper = In Movies I can do with the year in the title. In Series not.
Example: Ad Astra (2019) versus Cosmos (2014)

3 TAGs = is the keywords of TMDb, I presume.

4 Advancedsettings = Genres are not mapped. Certification is not mapped.

5 Certification = Does not display dropdown with those of the other Series.

6 TV Tune = What is it?

7 Original Title = is not in the UI.

Hi,

I'll try my best to answer your questions:

  1. Yes. At the moment only the title is supported. Please let me know what other fields you would like. I wanted to refactor the filter because it has a few coding issues (like memory leaks, etc). That's why I don't want to spend too much time adding fields at the moment. :)
  2. Could you elaborate what you mean? :)
  3. Yes. TMDb for TV shows should use a show's keywords as tags. Needs documentation. :)
  4. Ohhh... genres should be mapped for TheTvDb at least. TMDb and TVmaze are missing, that is true. I'll look into it.
  5. True. Would be a nice feature. Could you open a feature request for it? :)
  6. See https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-doc/tvshow/index.html#tv-tune :-)
  7. AFAIK we don't support originaltitle for TV shows, yet, do we?
    Please open a new feature request for it. :-)

I will try to be concise. :-)

1 Filter = I divided my Series or TV Show library into 3 basic areas:

  • Series = Big Bang, House ...
  • Mini Series = Band of Brothers, Taken (2002) ...
  • Series Doc = Cosmos (1980), Cosmos (2014), Richard Feynman (1964) The Character of Physical Law ...

I use TAGs and/or Genres to make the distinction.
It would be interesting to be able to view the separate groups.
2 Make Scrapper = It's just my curiosity.
All titles in my movie and series folders are in the following format, for example:
Title_pt-BR (YEAR) mkv @ 1080p 6.4G (Dual)
When I make the Scraper in movies, just delete everything after (YEAR).
But the series scraper does not allow (YEAR) to remain.
Only after deleting the scraper is done.
3 TAGs = I just believe that TMDb's Keywords are the best and most perfect example of Chaos. :-)
4 Advancedsettings = Genres and Certification is not mapped. :-)
5 Certification = OK. I will open.
6 TV Tune = I had never heard of it.
7 Original Title = OK. I will open.

  1. So filter by genre and tag if I understand you correctly? :)
  2. Sorry, I don't get what you mean. :-/
    Do you want MediaElch to automatically strip the year from the search title?
    TMDb does not work if a year is provided in the search query. TheTvDb on the other hand works.
  3. Oh... 馃槄
  4. Ok. What scraper do you use?
  5. Thanks. :)
    For reference: #1179
  6. Do you mean the term "TV Tune"? Maybe a help text would be useful. It's the soundtrack of a TV series.
  7. Thanks again. :)
    For reference #1180
  1. Yes. TAGs and Genres. And Series only. Not from the episodes.
    I say this because TMDb intends to adopt TAGs also for episodes.
  2. It is just my curiosity. I noticed that Series behaves differently from Movies.
    Nothing important. You don't need to change anything.
  3. And TMDb intends to extend it to episodes.
  4. I use TMDb. I used TvDB only for the tests I did.


    1. I don't think it's necessary. I am an old man who turns 70 this year.

      Certainly all young people must know.

  1. See #1186 (needs more time)
  2. hmm... I'll look into it after I've refactored the movie scrapers. :)
  3. Good to know. I'll add support for it when they officially support it. :)
  4. See #1185 ; is now fixed :)
    5.
  5. Oh awesome! Never would have thought that. :)

I think all points are answered or there are issues for it. I'll close this issue now. :)

In changelog
https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-doc/release-notes.html
I see

Genre/Certification/Studio mappings for all TV show scrapers are now respected, now just for TheTvDb (#1176)

now or not just for TheTvDb (#1176) ?

Typo! Thanks! :)
