Clerks (The Animated Series) thetvdb id - 71745
Episode 1x05 of this show can’t be imported because the tile taken from thetvdb ends up creating a filename that is over 260 characters.
Log output:
Couldnt import episode D:\Dronefactory\Clerks\Clerks 1x05.avi: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
System.IO.PathTooLongException:…
What would be the full path to where sonarr is moving the downloaded files? The full path can be awfully long, and the only time I’ve ever seen too long names is at work where they use beuracratic names in combination with saving on the networked ‘U:’ drive, which is really //server/agency/section/gang/users/username/subfolder/subfolder/subfolder
If you check thetvdb the tile for the episode is:
“Clerks - 1x05 - Dante And Randal And Jay And Silent Bob And A Bunch Of New Characters And Lando, Take Part In A Whole Bunch Of Movie Parodies Including But Not Exclusive To, The Bad News Bears, The Last Starfighter, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, Plus A High Schoo”
That’s not a mistake, the full title is actually too long to fit in thetvdb’s database field, it should end “…Plus A High School Reunion.”
WOW, thats a mouthful. At the moment the easiest way to import is to rename it yourself without the episode title, or temporarily remove the episode title in rename options rename it, then re-add it.
We’ll discuss how we want to handle this for similar issues (including multi-episode releases).
