Reverting filenames back to 2.99?

user-1346

On the previous version of GiP, TV show names would output like "Have I Got a Bit More News for You: Series 53: Episode 1"

Now it just outputs 'Episode 1'.

How do I get the new GiP to revert to that earlier way of naming things? I know it can be done with the filename command but I've never used it before.

Thanks in advance.

Works fine here. Follow our instructions to provide a proper report so we can see what is happening on your system.

Sorry, I didn't mean filenames at all. Stupid me.

Filenames are fine - i.e. "Have_I_Got_a_Bit_More_News_for_You_Series_53_-_1._Episode_1_b08nxg03_original.mp4"

I mean the 'Title' field. Where it now just says 'Episode 1' where before it was laid out like this - "Have I Got a Bit More News for You: Series 53: Episode 1"

What "title" field are you talking about? The "title" field in the programme metadata (retrieved with --info) looks fine for your example.

I mean the mp4 tag 'Title' field. Saved in the file properties?

Once you have the episode downloaded, it shows a Title of simply 'Episode 1'.

Shows a title where?

Tagging changed in v2.98. Both its release notes and the tagging page in the wiki tell you how to get the full title in your tags.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying. I obviously never upgraded to 2.99 then.

I will investigate.
