writing episode numbers for eastenders?

user-66

i'm having an issue with eastenders in that there are no episode numbers for get_iplayer to pull in, so i can't find a way of automatically naming the episodes that will match up with plex media server to allow it to scrape the episode info without me manually editing the file name with the season and episode number as per tvrage.com.

has anyone found a way to automatically grab the right episode number for each episode in get_iplayer if the iplayer site doesn't have it?

thanks in advance.

There are no episode numbers in the iPlayer data for Eastenders. Episodes are named with the broadcast date. tvrage.com must generate episode numbers itself. For Plex, add the
Code:
--isodate
flag to your get_iplayer command line. That will convert the date in the file name to YYYY-MM-DD format, which Plex can parse. Also add
Code:
--whitespace
for a more readable filename. And if you use
Code:
--whitespace
on Windows, you must also add
Code:
--fatfilename
(this will be default in next release).
