My Media Library Scan Ignores Numbers

Community Archives WD TV Live Streaming Firmware

Latest Version and PREVIOUS 2 Versions

Folders under WINXP Shares retains the numbering sequence I use for

ordering episodic Videos ie:

Cadfael:

  1. One Corpse Too Many

  2. The Sanctuary Sparrow

  3. The Leper of St Giles…etc

When scanned using the “My Media Library” the numers 01), 02), 03)…are Ignored. Therfore episodic videos

use the default sorting options.

This is the same for a NAS and attached USB Drive…

Is this the way it is??? Or am I missing something so obvious…

Thanks

Try using the TV Show filter (Green Button)

I have a similar problem.
I have a TV series of 21 episodes, so named

[Serie Title] [Season Number]x[Episode Number (2 digit)] [Episode Title]

Before being cataloged are correctly ordered alphabetically, but after being cataloged are sorted by the number of episode, but in the wrong way, ie:
1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 3, … etc.

How can I order correctly classified episodes of TV series?

You can edit the TITLE tag in the XML file and rebuild the library.

I have edited XLM files, but how I can rebuild the library?

However, an update is needed to sort the TV series based on the tag ‘episode number’ in the XML file, or ensure that the metadata is received with all the titles already formatted with the episode number to two digits.

No, that’s what the TV Show filter does…  It sorts by the <epsidode_number> XML tag.

There’s still an error with Season sorting when there’s 10 or more seasons, but episodes do sort correctly.

Any other filter sorts by TITLE tag.

Yet after I retrieved the metadata of the season 9 of smallville (21 episodes), episodes were ordered incorrectly (1, 10, 11, 12 … 19, 2, 3, 4, etc.).
Why?
Was present in the XML files generated tag Episode Number.

Tonight, however, try to check with another season.

edit: I never changed the filter, the TV Show filter must be set manually?

… sure, just like any other filter.
