Trouble creating subfolders for shows - goes into /movies

[slimture]

I'm on arch linux and trying to download shows/series from svtplay and it doesn't create subfolders with the shows titles. Everything goes into /mnt/svtplay/movies - I've tried a couple of shows that I know of that aren't movies but rather series with multiple seasons.

My config file is:

default:
path: /mnt/svtplay
subtitle: true
merge_subtitle: true
all_episodes: true
subfolder: true
filename: "{title}.s{season}e{episode}.{episodename}.{ext}"

Am I missing something here?

can you give an example of a show that you having issues with? 🤔

Antikrundan, Uppdrag granskning for example. Is there a way to force creation of subfolders with name for the show/season and ignore /movies?

the way we detect if its a series is by if they have a season and episode number. 🤔

Okey so you mean it's working as expected even if antikrundan for example is a show with seasons and several episodes? It should go into /movies and not create folders for the shows name and season?

[spaam]

the way we detect season and episode numbers from shows are via few things. like they write it in the title like Avsnitt 4 for the episode 4. or they have it in the url like sasong-8 for season 8 and some other places.

looking at antikrundan. they seems to change title schema a bit from 2018. they have the "del" number in the description. like the end of it Del 6 av 13. it should be simple to extract that.

but for uppdrag granskning its a bit harder to find the episode number in a good way. we cant really rely on the position in the list of episodes because shows gets removed over time. like the last eel episode from 2021. is that the first episode or some other number? 🤔

I've noticed that this varies from series to series. Some seem like "a series of movies" rather than a series of episodes.

[spaam]

there might be a differernt way to detect if its a series. but we wont get any episode number.

Okey. Thanks for the information! Is there a way in settings or with commands in terminal to force creation of folders in relation to the name of the show instead of putting all the files in movies folder?

[spaam]

nope, there is no way to do it via a setting or a command right now. if we going to do it via setting/argument we going to have same issue like we have now now but with movies. we going to have movies in the tv show folder.

I also had some problems when downloading Uppdrag Granskning to my Plex server, since, as noted above, it's more of a series of movies than a series, and ended up in the movies folder. Although, for correct indexing in Plex, it was possible to manually place it in folders named after year ("Season 2021") with the files named as "Uppdrag.Granskning.S2021E09.mp4", with the episode number being the order in which they were broadcasted (a list of them is available on Wikipedia).
