Seinfeld - rename files to episode names

[theffx]

I noticed the files were named out of order after ripping the Seinfeld UHD. Put all of your season 1-5 files into a single folder, then open Windows PowerShell and type cd "C:\Video\Seinfeld" and enter (replace the C:\Video\Seinfeld part with whatever your folder path is... you can copy it and paste it within the quotes). Then if you paste the below text it will get you proper episode names.

If this is something that's useful to people I'll update this with the rest of the seasons. I'm currently waiting on the decryption to be made available.

As a caution, you need to make sure your minimum rip size is set the same as the poster's. MakeMKV numbers the titles according to where they're found after the time is taken into account. If you have 120 seconds vs the default 30 seconds set, anything less than 120 seconds long will not be included in the count, and a lot of disks have short features that might appear. A lot of people set 1200 (twenty minutes) or more as a minimum time for TV series.

Oh that's good to know. I assumed the file numbering was based on the disc. I only ripped the episode files, nothing else if that helps. Is there a way to make it so the rip is in episode order? It took me a while to play each episode to figure out which file is which episode, which is why I thought sharing this could be useful to others.

[Toad King]

Another way to get the correct order is to sort by the Blu-ray playlist number for each title instead of just MakeMKV's number. I found on some TV sets that MakeMKV can re-order some titles (I think it tries to sort by length?) but if you print out the playlist number I say a good 99% of the time it's the correct order.

I use this output file name template to do it (need to enable expert mode, then set it under the "Advanced" preferences tab):

Code: Select all

{NAME1}{-:CMNT1}{-:DT}{title:+DFLT}{_p:SN}{_t:N2}

I just wanted to add that Seinfeld has alot of earlier episodes that were aired out of production order. The discs go by production order instead of air order. I mention this because media servers like channels DVR what I use will default to gracenote and will arrange the episodes by air order which will make alot of seasons "out of order". It's such a pain to have to manually correct.

I use Jellyfin and with it there's an option to choose the display order for series. If you choose DVD order for Seinfeld it ends up mostly correct. There are some episodes on the Blu-ray where they're combined so you have to manually account for that. Most of them are two-part episodes but 4-3 and 4-4 ("The Pitch" and "The Ticket") are also combined.

Oh that's interesting. Didn't know it had that feature. Might have to check out jellyfin at some point. I like channels since I have alot of custom channels like Seinfeld made.

Best option in my opinion is still to just insert each disk, run VLC under the auspices of strace and track which mpls/m2ts is opened when selecting an episode on the disc menus -- yes this needs to be done in Linux in this example.

Running with strace is overkill for that. You should be able to list playlists with this command:

Code: Select all

BD_DEBUG_MASK=0x40 vlc 2>&1 | grep mpls

Not sure about Windows but something like this might work there:

Code: Select all

set BD_DEBUG_MASK=0x40
vlc 2>&1 | findstr mpls

Is this script correct? The Busboy is episode 12, not 3. The Baby Shower is episode 10, not 4.

Like mentioned in earlier posts, the DVD/Blu-ray releases follow production order and not original air-date order.

THANKS A TON! Was very much unaware of this env var for libbluray.

This is true, but it depends on if Plex is set up for prod or air order. If Plex is set up for air order, the titles won't match.

Which java are you running for the menus to pop up in VLC? On Seinfeld the menus don't work for me but they do on other 4K discs... I'm on Mac though not Linux...
