Working perfectly for playlists, but not for channels
For example, I have downloaded the three videos at https://www.youtube.com/@Scruffy238 at the following paths:
-
Z:\media\youtube\Scruffy [Scruffy238]\Season 2020\s2020e01271676728307.12 Hour Mental Health Charity Livestream feat. Shoutcasted Rocket League Tournament With Prizes [dh6ybSXNt_Q].mp4

My Plex library uses the youtube
folder, with the scanner Absolute Series Scanner
and the agent YouTubeSeries
. I have specified my own YouTube API Key, and it looks like everything is set up correctly.
Plex displays this as a show called "Season 2020", with only two episodes: the 12 hour mental
video and the wireless webcam
video. Looking at the file info for both the latter has both the wireless webcam
file and the desk setup
file as being the same episode.
I have tested this with a variety of channels, using the @ format (like the example above), the user format (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/user/VivaLaDirtLeague) and the UC format (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHC4G4X-OR5WkY-IquRGa3Q) and they all have exactly the same issues.
Meanwhile, playlists work absolutely perfectly. For example, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3A5849BDE0581B19 has video paths like:
-
Z:\media\youtube\asdfmovie [PL3A5849BDE0581B19]\Season 2008\s2008e08101676677172.asdfmovie [IYnsfV5N2n8].mp4
-
Z:\media\youtube\asdfmovie [PL3A5849BDE0581B19]\Season 2010\s2010e01011676677172.asdfmovie2 [tKB4h9gvmm0].mp4
-

Plex displays this entirely correctly.
I've read through the documentation and it seems like I'm doing the right things, putting the channel or playlist tag into the root folder name for the channel or playlist, including the video tags into the video file names, and structuring the folders in a sensible way. As I said, playlists are working perfectly, but channels are just not working correctly.
