Artist folder about docker-amvd HOT 14 CLOSED

I also would prefer something like Artist.Name/Artist.Name.-.Title.ext.

Realising it will break app-compatibility, it could perhaps be easier to add an environment-variable for FLAT_FILE_STRUCTURES=TRUE (with a default of false, obviously) which would just dump them to a folder structure instead.

It seems all the apps have different ways of handling this, so maybe what's really needed is to specify the app you want supported...

Depending on the app your integrating with, they might not support using the files that way. This was designed to try to enable maximum app compatibility. If you can test and see what apps it works with, I'd consider it.

I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible

Mainly asking for Jellyfin to make it a little more organized. Right now Jellyfin music videos is kind of unstructured in that it doesn't really care how things are organized too much. In fact the IMVDb metadata plugin is currently not working at the moment with the latest Jellyfin because no one has bothered to update it.

/music-videos/Artist_Name/Song_Title/Song_Title.{mp4/mkv/etc}

Plex:
Looks like Plex is a bit similar if you are throwing them in a music video library with artist name in the title of the video being optional.
/music-video/Artist_Name/Artist (optional) - Song_Title.{mp4/mkv/etc}

I'm starting work on a new version, and I'm considering this...

from docker-amvd.

So the latest update did not include this, I'm still thinking about the best way to implement it...

Would storing the files in the Lidarr artist folder be adequate as an option? That is the direction I'm thinking of going with enabling sub-folder support...

from docker-amvd.

You mean like:
/music/Steely Dan/

I would prefer:
/music-videos/Steely Dan/

like that. If you mean use Lidarr artist names, then I'm cool with that. I would just mention that for Lidarr artist I do:
{Artist Name}{ (Artist Disambiguation)}

If you output /downloads-amvd/<artist-folder-name-as-given-in-lidarr>/video.mkv, I would be very pleased, and it would be a perfect fit for a flat file-strutcture.

It would have to write out the folder-name also, even if not present, as Lidarr has an option to not create artist folders before it has something to put in there.

I.e.:

Lidarr maps /music to /srv/music, while amvd maps /downloads-amvd to /srv/musicvideos - and that ends up with:

/srv
  /music
    /Artist.Folder
      /Album.Name
        /Song.Name.mp3
    /musicvideos
      /Artist.Folder
        /Movie.mkv

With that "workaround" I can just feed amvd with the path to a different location, and I would be good.

For "normal" situations, it would be:
Lidarr maps /music to /srv/music, and amvd maps /downloads-amvd to /srv/music - and that ends up with:

/srv
  /music
    /Artist.Folder
      /Album.Name
        /Song.Name.mp3
      /Movie.mkv

All changes should be complete, when you pull the new image with v1.1.11

For ref: a04ee1a

Please test accordingly...

Good to hear, I'll have to postpone the check, but should get to it this weekend at the latest.

And thanks! :-)

from docker-amvd.

I was able to start it during the weekend, but haven't had the time to check up on it before now.

It seems to be working, I have folders in the output.

It hasn't downloaded a single video though, and docker logs is spewing out No such file or directory on the json-files from the cache.

I.e: cat: /config/cache/Ludwig.van.Beethoven-1f9df192-a621-4f54-8850-2c5373b7eac9-recording-count.json: No such file or directory

At least the artist folder is working!

Not sure if I should create a different issue, or if you know about the error without further logs?

from docker-amvd.

Have you made sure your fully updated? You also may want to jump on discord...

Yup.

I'll try looking into it some more, I'm thinking this is on my side somewhere.
