SortTV: Sort TV episodes, movies, and music into directories for xbmc (Linux/Win/Mac)

wiak · 2012-05-08 01:25

do sorttv support whitelist?
like say if i only want "Ikke gjør dette hjemme", "Tekno" to be sorted
and can i specify the directories each show goes into?
will it scan into sub directories in downloads directory?

and another question what do i need to run it on windows?
what software?

I was having the same issue as john.doe for the time being I removed line 52 from the sorttv.pl file. Seems to be able to sort TV ep now, I haven't tried sorting movies. This could fix your problem temporary until a better fix is found.

john.doe · 2012-05-13 12:46

Thank you, got my tv shows sorted for now Smile

. Only problem is that all the images are corrupted, cant view them. :/

drossmill06 · 2012-05-13 15:14

I turned the download images setting off and let xbmc download the images

Cliffe I found a new error code, if winrar runs into a CRC it returns 768.

You probably know this already but the delete part seems to be a bit on its own. If you run a dry-run it still delete the files and also if you catch an error with in the extraction part it doesn't cancel the delete.

In the sub escape_myfilename, line 1036 should have "\/' added to it, so the whole line should read:

Code:

$name =~ s/[\/:*?\"<>|]/-/g;
This makes it properly sort of a movie like Frost/Nixon as the file Frost-Nixon rather than the file Nixon in the folder Frost.

A weird issue with TheMovieDB search. I kept getting occasional wide character errors (similar to some seen earlier in the thread) until I added a line to encode the result of the Movie_search:

Code:

my $result = $tmdb->Movie_search(remdot($title)); $result = Encode::encode("utf8", $result);
I honestly have no idea what this does, but it seems to have solved my intermittent issues. I decided to try different combinations of encoding and decoding after I did some searching about wide character issues.

I also had some issues with how the movie search works:

Currently: As far as I can tell, after looking for series/season folders, individual episodes by season and ep, and finally episodes by name/date, the sorter treats all remaining (nonep) files as movies. The movie search acts as a fall through for any unknown file.

Problem: That leads to really heavy usage of TheMovideDB api and a lot of noise in the movie folder. (Especially if you're running sorttv often on cron.) For example: I had a zipped android rom in my sort directory that contained hundreds of files. I later found a ton of movies like Core (2010).jar and Network (1976).conf and a really long sorttv.log file.

Workaround: I replaced my current whitelist with common video and subtitle extensions (*.avi, *.m4v, *.mkv, *.mov, *.mp4, *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.ogm, *.wmv, *.divx, *.dvr-ms, *.3gp, *.ssa, *.srt, *.sub) and that pretty much did the trick. This stops me from extracting zip files or sorting audio, but that's fine with me.

I'm not really sure what kind of general solution there is for this, but one possibility might be to include video-file-ext and audio-file-ext conf variables that would stop the sorter if no matching extension is found. (This would have to take place after the extraction step for zip files.)

frozenesper, thanks for your encode fix, worked well, however, I would encourage everyone NOT to use your

Code:

        $name =~ s/[\/:*?\"<>|]/-/g;

as this will strip out the "\", which breaks the preserve folder structure feature for nonep files since the sub sort_other() calls the function, which strips the "\" from the file name, which will then flatten all non-ep files, whether you want it to or not.

deranjer · 2012-06-13 04:32

I have edited sorttv.pl to add the following options you can set in the sorttv.conf file:

Code:

#OPTIONAL - These extensions are NOT movies or TV shows or music, treat them as non episodes/Movies automatically

#Note: Will not run these file types through tvdb, etc.

#non-media-ext=smc,pdf,mobi,jpg,exe

# OPTIONAL - The movie-in-folder setting tells sorttv that if if finds a movie file to move it to the movie directory,

# but create a folder in the movie directory for the movie, named after the movie.

# For example, it would name a movie "The Bourne Identity - 2002.avi" and then create a folder in the movie directory

# and place the movie in it like so: "The Bourne Identity - 2002\The Bourne Identity - 2002.avi".

# If not specified, FALSE

movie-in-folder=FALSE

# OPTIONAL - The movie-move-folder setting tells sorttv that if it finds a FOLDER that matches a movie directory name (not TV)

# then sorttv will rename and move the folder (AND ALL CONTENTS) into the movie directory wholesale.

# Note: Currently, this option WILL NOT rename or sort ANY of the contents of the folder, including the movie.

# If not specified=FALSE

movie-move-folder=FALSE

I have tested this as best I could on linux (this is not tested on Windows), and it seems to work okay. I am not good at programming perl, so I'm sure I did this the long way, and perhaps did some things wrong. I will submit this to the original author as well, see if he is interested it looking it over and integrating it/optimizing it.

You can download the modified script below:

Newbie here...

I'm not understanding the install and run functions. I have tried reading XBMC scripting readme, but it doesn't jive with sorttv instructions.

1. I don't have an existing directory called 'scripts in my default XBMC install directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC', so where do I copy/move the 'sorttv' folder to?
3. What is meant by 'install pearl'
2. Where do I run: 'cpan File::Copy::Recursive File::Glob LWP::Simple TVDB::API Getopt::Long Switch WWW::TheMovieDB::Search XML::Simple'?

My setup: Windows 7 HP x64

Any help would be appreciated.

-Scott

P.S. Does any of this change if using Raspberry Pi?
