For the most part the renaming works perfectly with Sonarr. But I recently came across a weird issue with the series Eastbound and Down. I use {Release.Group} for my renaming rules but getting very inconsistent results.
I tried changing it to {RELEASE.GROUP} and it changed some put added a ~partial at the end of them. I manually deleted all the “~partial” occurrences I found and tried renaming to {release.group} this time. Says no files to rename even though clearly they are all in caps now. Something strange is going on. Is this a known bug? I even tried changing to {Release Group} and {RELEASE GROUP} and {release group}. Nothing seems to work correctly. Thanks guys.
EDIT Actually now that I’m going through a lot of my shows, quite a few have renaming inconsistencies with the release group name
What kind of OS / storage? could be case insensitivity, which doesn’t play nice with renames.
About the ~partial, this is actually way more important. Can you set loglevel to trace, clear the log files, then try Rename again. Which won’t work, but if the ~partial appears again, please get me those trace logs.
I use OS X and using a LaCie external thunderbolt 2 HDD. I tried renaming to {release.group} this time and it actually renamed them but most got the “~partial”. Very strange and inconsistent renaming…
EDIT Oh my goodness, over 1,000 of my shows have the “~partial” at the end of them This is strange because I remember playing with the renaming a few weeks ago with my same exact setup and it was working just fine. Now no matter what I renaming rules I’m using I get this “~partial” string at the end of the files. I’m freaking out right now!!!
Tnx for getting me that log. Seems to be as I feared.
This is one of the blessings of running on develop, gets ppl discover critical issues on odd setups before some new feature get merged to master.
And btw. is it ~partial or .partial~?
Do those ~partial files have a companion file (ones without the ~partial) or is ~partial the only file there?
And please don’t delete them, you might end up deleting your only copy of an episode. They’re basically hardlinked copies.
There are still a few things unclear about how and where it goes wrong exactly, primarily I don’t seen an exception where I expected it would.
The reason this goes wrong is OSX (as per usual), which can have both case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems.
I can fix it for ya, but first gotta work today.
Hi Taloth. Well glad I can help find these nasty bugs
Oops, it is .partial~
They do NOT have a companion file. The .partial~ files are the only ones there. I’ve been trying to manually rename a few and I just gave up…too many. Was hoping I’d hear from you with an idea on how I can rename them all back, and sure enough, “I can fix it for ya, but first gotta work today.”…so glad to hear that lol. Seriously freaking out haha.
Anyways, damn OS X. Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks as always Taloth.
