[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1260339, member: 109222"] Hi. You can achieve an automated scrapping of your TV recordings, if you use separate subfolders for recurring recordings (= series) and one time only recordings ( = movies). See: [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/Tv+Engine+Setup"]Tv Engine Setup[/URL] especially the part about recordings... The correct scrapping depends on proper file naming. Especially for series you need to have season and episodes numbers in the filename. For this you a) need to use them in the filenames for recordings and b) they must exist in your EPG data... The later is a bit tricky as most EPG data sources are not delivering season and episodes numbers in a format MP can read... But some tools, e.g. [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/epg-buddy-a-new-epg-tool-with-easy-usage.135484/']EPG-Buddy[/URL] can add those numbers to the raw EPG data before they are imported into the TV engine... But this setup is not too reliable because you can not clean up the files before using them. At least everything you like to keep better is prepared properly (= named right and enriched with local metadata and fanart, e.g with [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tinymediamanager-the-media-manager-for-mediaportal-win-mac-linux.121731/unread']tMM[/URL] or [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/media-buddy-the-mkv-buddy-successor.138497/']Media-Buddy[/URL]) and moved into a "real" media source. This way you will have a clean and nicely filled library with no errors... [/QUOTE]
