New TV Series layout coming soon

[jcdr]

To keep on on the subject of the parser:

When one uploads one episode of a series, say e.g. : "dharma_and_greg.1x01.pilot.dvdrip_xvid-fov.srt":
the release name is automatically marked by the parser as "dharma and greg 1x01 pilot dvdrip xvid fov", which is a nice feature as it allows the uploader to see and select the release right from the episode subs list, without having to open each sub page.

But ! when you have e.g 24 episodes for 8 seasons (which makes 192 subs) to upload, you naturally prefer to upload say 12 subs each time (CD1 -> CD12).
The problem is, because the release name is marked before the upload is split and parsed, all subs will have the same release name.

For instance, if you upload :
CD1 : dharma_and_greg.1x01.pilot.dvdrip_xvid-fov.srt
CD2 : dharma_and_greg.1x02.and_the_in-laws_meet.dvdrip_xvid-fov.srt
CD3 : dharma_and_greg.1x03.shower_the_people_you_love_with_love.dvdrip_xvid-fov.srt
CD4 : dharma_and_greg.1x04.and_then_theres_the_wedding.dvdrip_xvid-fov.srt
etc.
they will all have the same release name "dharma and greg 1x01 pilot dvdrip xvid fov", incorrect except for CD1.

OSS, any chance to modify the script in the future, so that the release name is scraped from each sub name, after the splitting/parsing operation ?

Omerta, your example http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... e_cache-on for Futurama is a very good example !

Reading http://forums.boxee.tv/archive/index.php/t-14502.html, there is a discrepancy on the seasons lists, between:
- the original broadcast (as shown on IMDB), and
- the DVD release (as shown on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Futurama_episodes), from which some subs seem to have been extracted.

So the IMDB ids for all subs of Futurama will have to be checked and corrected : e.g. for season 2 episode 11 http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... bid-584445, the first sub is correct but the second sub is for S02E14 !

I understand. This problem occurs when splitting subtitles, I can program to force create release name from subtitles name for each new subtitle.

it should be activated, please test.

[jcdr]

It seems to work OK. Thanks !

But you also seem to have to consider the case where two different episodes (and IMDB ids) have the same episode number!!

"Flashpoint" Season 4 Episode 11 Wild Card http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1949307/
"Flashpoint" Season 4 Episode 11 A New Life http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2021069/ (this is an IMDB mistake, it should be episode 12)

But these two IMDB ids are shown under the same line on OS, and only one is accessible via link
http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/ssearch ... id-1059475
shows the link to http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/search/ ... id-2021069
but not the link to http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/search/ ... id-1949307

This occurence could be very rare, so it might be quicker to request correction on IMDB when met...

works - although I would prefer if filenames could be shown intact, I have never understood why movie and serie titles are taken off and replaced with a ":"...

the ":" is added at the beginning so we know it is auto-generated from filename and not from user input.

I agree with Omerta. I think it does appear slightly better than before: ":The Simpsons S22E05 HDTV XviD LOL," as opposed to ": S22E05 HDTV XviD LOL eng," but it should appear like: "The.Simpsons.S22E05.HDTV.XviD-LOL"

It should appear as written in the sub-file name. If there is no hyphen (-) or fullstops (.) in the sub-file name, then that's fair enough. The colon (:) makes the upload page look scruffy and when there's 20CDs that have been split for a series, that can be a lot of unnecessary work to remove the colon. If possible, please program it to take the sub-file name as is without the .srt and the colon in the release name field.

hi,

there is nothing more easy, to make it as you want. So lets try it, I am gonna to change this. So for example from

"Castle.2009.S04E21.HDTV.x264-LOL.srt" will become "Castle.2009.S04E21.HDTV.x264-LOL".

[jcdr]

There are still some glitches: e.g. the sub named Grimm - 1x08 - Game Ogre.HDTV.LOL.fr.srt" (http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/4522556/, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2087188/) is parsed as season 1 episode 9. In this case I had to correct manually.

[oss]

jcdr, thats really strange, I check the page, and it should be parsed as 1/9. Anyway, please try to change this subtitle to root imdb and parse again, and let me know, if it will parse again to 1/9. I am travelling, and this mobile connection is really slow

I concur with Omerta !
Sometimes there are mistakes in the IMDB episode list (e.g. Flashpoint season 2, Grey's Anatomy season 5, I Claudius...), mostly due to missing IMDB episodes, or discrepancies between broadcast and DVD numbering as highlighted previously.

So a sub named S02E05 could actually be S02E04... We spend a lot of time spotting these discrepancies and correcting IMDB ids, but we cannot rename the sub; so there should be a kind of protection to avoid another automatic parsing for those files !

Indeed the best way would be that admins could rename the sub... This would also help for files missing extensions etc.

[jcdr]

Thanks Omerta, understood and agreed ! This is a very good feature.

OSS, two other examples of sub names not parsing:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/subtitl ... /nikita-fr
http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/subtitl ... /nikita-fr

I suspect the subs not parsing concern movies that were created or updated in the last three or four months on IMDB. Maybe this is due to the OS IMDb copy not being updated with the latest info ?

[jcdr]

The episodes #0 still do not show correctly: http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/subtitles/4528853/

It is not too worrying when it is a pilot episode, but in this case it is season 5, and sorted before season 0.

[oss]

with nikita, I see it got already right episode. For episodes #0, it is a problem, I will take a look, when time permits.

[jcdr]

Oss, indeed Nikita subs have the right episode IMDBids because I entered them manually. But most of the OS users won't take the time to do this.

[jcdr]

http://www.opensubtitles.org/fr/subtitl ... st-girl-fr will not show the episode number even after IMDB update, although http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1673939/ shows season 1 episode 12.
