MediaTitles not Working

[wmstonetn]

I am having trouble getting bmt to recognize NCIS. I tried to enter the info in mediatitles.xml to force it to match, but I can't get it too work.

I am running SageTV 7 on Windows 7

FileName: G:\SageTV\NCIS - S03E11 - Model Behaviour.avi

MediaTitles.xml:
<match>
<regex>[\\/]NCIS\s-</regex>
<title>NCIS</title>
<year>2003</year>
<metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">72108</metadata>
</match>

phoenix-metadata.log:
2011-02-21 23:21:16,162 - ERROR; G:\SageTV\NCIS - S03E11 - Model Behaviour.avi; NCIS - S03E11 - Model Behaviour; 247647; Metadata lookup failed for NCIS

Unfortunately, I'm going to need more information. The "failed" error could be anything. it could be that the media titles worked but there was a network error, etc. If you have the log file, could you email it to metadatatools at gmail dot com.

When you changed the media titles did you reload them or restart the server? Also, if the title of the show is NCIS on tvdb, then you probably don't need a media titles entry for this show. (I don't and I record NCIS and NCIS LA)

Thanks for the feedback. I will send you the log file tonight. But here are some answers in the meantime.

Is there a setting to turn up the log level for more details.

I have reloaded the MediaTitles file both from within BMT web interface and by restarting Sagetv.

I am not sure what is going on, but phoenix/bmt will not match any of my NCIS or NCIS LA files, neither the sage recorded (in that format) or the acquired ones (in the format above). I agree that is should not need anything in MediaTitles to work. When I look at them in bmt under missing metadata they are all set as movie. My bmt settings are pretty much set at the default.

Thanks for your help.

I also have trouble with shows like Castle and Human Target that had an earlier series in the database (like 2009 or 1995). How is the best way to fix that.

I'm currently investigating items like human target... so hopefully I'll know more after I get a little further along. (btw... mediatitles should work for human target, as well, but I'm validating to see if there is an underlying issue)

i use the following for castle in sagetv recorded format... works great

    <match>
        <regex>[\\/]Castle-.*</regex>
        <title>Castle</title>
        <year>2009</year>
        <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">83462</metadata>
    </match>

Did anyone ever get NCIS to work?

I am trying to clean up my Library in anticipation of coming back to SageTV.
I am having trouble with NCIS. I have an xml exception but still can't my NCIS recordings to import into SageTV via BMT.
The files are named like the example below which seems to work fine for Kodi and Plex:
\\HomeServer\DVR\NCIS\Season10\NCIS.S10E08.Gone.ts

I have no exceptions for NCIS; they just work. However, mine would be as follows:

NCIS.S10E08 - Gone.ts

I'm not sure if that would make a difference, but I've seen strange things with BMT. Make sure you remove any manually added BMT matchers before trying other variations. If that doesn't fix it, try it like so:

NCIS - S10E08 - Gone.ts

If that doesn't work, then something is really weird.

Here's my matcher fro NCIS

  <match>
    <regex>[\\/]NCIS[\\/]</regex>
    <metadata type="TV" name="tvdb">72108</metadata>
  </match>

Your regex (if you even need one) should not be

<regex>[\\/]NCIS\s-</regex>

Since that is looking for NCIS with a space (\s is space)

So either try nothing... or try...

<regex>[\\/]NCIS\\.</regex>

for your filename of
NCIS.S10E08.Gone.ts

I used this and it appears to be working perfectly.
Never tried the /s since I did not know what it meant but good info for future issues. Really I could swear I tried this combination already but it must have been user error cause this worked an nothing before it has.

<match>
<regex>[\\/]NCIS[\\/]</regex>
<metadata type="TV" name="tvdb">72108</metadata>
</match>

Thanks!

Just make sure that the regex you end up using doesn't also match with NCIS Los Angels or NCIS New Orleans.
