[Issue]: Library folder with "other" pathname component is ignored

Open simmonmt opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Please describe your bug

I create a library with a folder whose final pathname component is other, that entire folder is ignored. That is, if I create a library from folder /foo/bar/movies, it'll be scanned just fine. If I create it from folder /foo/bar/other, the "scan" will complete instantly, leaving no debugging messages behind, and discovering nothing.

Is it possible that the filtering of extra components is being too aggressive? That is, rather than starting below the library source folder it starts at root (or the final component)?

Reproduction Steps

  1. Create a new library, Type movies, folder source /media/other
  2. Observe instant scan that discovers nothing.

An additional detail that just occurred to me:

/media/other
/media/other/Movie Name (2024)/
/media/other/Movie Name (2024)/Movie Name (2024) Part 1.mp4
/media/other/somename.mp4

With a library whose folder is /media/other the scanner will find the "Movie Name" movie, but will not find somename.mp4.

I also found the same issue with a folder named "extra"

MattBlackOnly avatar Jun 23 '24 22:06 MattBlackOnly

This issue exists for library folders with all of the following folder names:

  • backdrops
  • behind the scenes
  • clips
  • deleted scenes
  • extra
  • extras
  • featurettes
  • interviews
  • other
  • samples
  • scenes
  • shorts
  • theme-music
  • trailers

I've submitted a pull request for a fix.

I have a related issue where episodes with "scene"/"Scene" in their file names are being marked as specials even though they aren't in a specials folder (in my case they are in the season 1 folder) and aren't specials.

This one might be harder to solve though as there doesn't seem to be a specials tag for the nfo as an alternative to parsing the filenames.

Just updated my PR a couple of days ago - it was apparently 'conflicting' because of updates in the Contributor list. Hopefully it will catch some attention again and get a second review.
