Naming Template Issues

travelar

Since 6.2.0.8 or maybe 6.2.0.7, SF no longer respects the "" backslash in the naming template. For instance, I like to download movies into the Movies subdirectory, followed by a folder for the movie itself, and finally the movie.

The template clearly shows that it will download to the correct path, but then converts the \ to a _.

Can this change be reverted so that this functions correctly again? While I haven't tested every service, this is the case for both Amazon and Hulu.

Thanks.

This script is the initial attempt at making the Flow more generic to use for MOVIES from all services. It relies on StreamFab using a folder for each service (See the naming template below)

REQUIRED: Download MediaInfo CLI from -> https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/Windows ONE TIME SETUP: unzip it, and add the folder to the Windows Path environment variable, exit and restart Power Automate before running or HDR/DV detection will not work.

This script relies on StreamFab's VIP Services naming template for MOVIES be:

I recently updated my SF to version 6.2.0.9, and noticed that when it names files, always overrides my settings.
For example i choose:

tvseriestitle.S(season number)E(episode number).Episode title

and it gives me this uotput:

tvseriestitle_S(season number)E(episode number)_Episode title

I think it may be a little bug, because all the rest is working like a charm.

Thanks for the time.
Very good software!

[quote]StreamFab 6.2.0.9 Changelog
Fix: A problem that the file names are wrong when download videos as audio format from Amazon.[/quote]
Looks like in 6209 all dots are replaced by underscores.

This also annoys me enormously, because (for all providers)
..\ at template start is no longer possible - info about ..\ here

jmduffer

I put the movies in subfolders like movie.name (year)/movie.name but now it adds the underscore so the movie goes in the folder as movie.name (year)_movie.name.

I had to change this for now and manually create the subfolder until this is corrected.

Germania

My ..\ used for severals months is now ___

see also "point replacement" in 6209 here

I am riding 6.2.0.8 until it explodes or they fix the template once and for all...

I honestly don't understand the coding decisions made by the Dev and Wilson.

BTW: Did you try double backslashes?

travelar

jpp72

I did. And it just converts it to a double underscore. Can't win with this app... One step forward, fifteen steps back.

jpp72

Literally, all they need to do is update the list of illegal characters.

Who decided that a . is an illegal character??? Makes no sense.

They should change it from something like:

const std::string invalidChars = ".<>:\"/\\|?*";

const std::string invalidChars = "<>:"/\\|?*";

AGuyWithAComputer

Even better the method System.Io.Path.GetInvalidPathChars in .Net actually returns the list of characters not supported by the windows file system. They don't need to maintain their own.

But anyway, I noticed all my moves are now named movies_movename, le sigh

Hello there, yeah it's really annoying and I cannot find SF 6.0.2.8, do you have a link ?
Thank you.

try logging in the member center at the top of the and see if you have the extended download service
for older versions of streamfab.

Unfortunatly I don't have it !

jpp72

I am so baffled by this.

In 6.2.0.8, everything is good except for the fact that all of a sudden, the naming template gets a bunch of codecs wrong for Amazon. It used to work flawlessly.
In 6.2.0.9, all . and \ are converted to _ and you couldn't even add a . unless it was already there from the previous versions
In 6.2.1.0, you can again add a . but it still gets converted to _

That means they removed the restriction in the GUI but not the conversion when using the template to write to the disk

So of course, i am staying with 6.2.0.8. If 6.2.0.8 stops working because of DRM changes, then that will effectively put a nail in StreamFab's coffin when it comes to me using it

smh...

psych22

templates naming is broken for many months. Dot . became _ . At least for netflix which i use the most, resolution is also wrong. its 1080 and renames it as 720 etc also movie/tv name if its 2 words you cant add dot in between. ex The resident. you cant do it as The.resident

Stan001

I see I am the odd one out as I either name it the_movie or the movie with a space.
I don't like a lot of . in the name, a few times they would not play because of a player issue with not finding the last .mp4 or .mkv.
But everyone should have the right to name what they want maybe look for a free file renamer yes they exist, and yes it's an extra step but to expect Sf to get it is a bit much.
Also, have to say it but look at other programs that give NO option to name it but how the developer wants them named.
It was one reason for filebot.

Sebastian001

It is and remains a construction site.

foxymac2024

It is also in the new 6210 version (mine is x64). No problem because if this occurs, i can use software like advanced renamer to bacth rename a lot of files.... But it would be appreciated that if i choose a naming convention that i like, THAT should be respected.
Because Plex uses a naming convention and i want to use it. :D

Germania

foxymac2024

Especially since the preview in the settings shows it as desired ..
.. which no longer matches the result since 6209

That is why I've given up and stay basic...

Then use my power automate flow to rename and put in folders as needed. -> https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/streamfab-support/streamfab/452747-file-renamer-power-automate-desktop-flow

I'll have to fix it for doing TV, shows I just haven't got around to it yet.

IF you want to try it until Fab gets their template fixed, I can help you customize it so files are renamed more to your liking. (just post in that thread)
