#TINYMEDIAMANAGER MOVE ALL EPISODES TO SEASON FOLDER TRIAL#

I have learned through a lot of trial and error that less is more. Also, I would turn off getting metadata from the file path and. I am wondering if Mezzmo isn't discerning whether the folder and poster files pertain to the series or the season. TV Series and playlist management seems like it is far more complicated than movies and it has been frustrating at times while I tried to figure it out.įrom his screenshots, I would suggest putting all of the Season 1 specific files in their own Season 1 folder. TV Series and Playlists have been such a fickle beast for me that I wanted to share exactly what has worked for me and wanted to warn him about the one quirk I hadn't solved, yet.

Then go to one of the files that is not getting the folder.jpg or poster.jpg and right-click and select to maintain the file and change the settings to update artwork and update all files and this should replace the screenshot with the folder.jpg or poster.jpg. Try going to Metadata Retrieval Settings and click the default button on the Video tab and then click OK. Resetting the database will remove any playlists you have created.

I think this issue is slightly different to what the OP is reporting in that the posters for their files are not set as the folder.jpg or poster.jpg where your issue is that the poster for a playlist/folder is being changed from a poster to a screenshot from the files within the playlist/folder. It takes a little extra work and vigilance but it works most of the time and I can usually predict when it won't so that I know what to go in and manually change to get what I want. It's been a big learning curve with TV Series. There are a few things that I do to get everything set right but I have finally settled on a system. I am still using the TVDB and pay the annual fee. Then all I have to do is poke around and do a little deep cleaning. If I do have to nuke it from orbit I have to recreate the playlists but the metadata and artwork populates automatically and rather quickly. But that's a big reason I use locally stored art and. If you reset your database, you will lose your playlists and any manually entered changes (speaking from experience). I believe this occurs 100% of the time but I haven't paid enough attention to say there aren't instances where it doesn't occur. Once you set it back manually, it will stay. At that point, Mezzmo deletes the existing season poster and replaces it with a thumbnail from one of the episodes in that season. The quirkiest thing I have seen is that Mezzmo will initially populate the playlist and generate the correct poster for a season, until you actually play an episode. I don't put them in there anymore but the folders that still have these files have never been affected by their presence. My screenshots show a few extraneous files like, and on the Series Level and the on the season level. On the playback end, I use playlists exclusively:

These are the settings and setup that I find work best, but there is still a lot of hit and mess. I have been fighting it for many, many months.

However, Mezzmo just doesn't seem to want to cooperate about 20% of the time when it comes to TV Series and playlists.

It works almost perfectly for movies (except when there is a in the movie title). Unfortunately, it seems to be a glitch in Mezzmo.
