Today I've been doing some manual stream export testing using two different setups.
My Google Drive structure:
When I manually export (example right click 'movies01' folder > export strm > 'yes confirm') it exports to two locations (because it detects movies01 contains movies):
but gdrive-movies does not contain the same number of files, as movies01. Analysing this:
C:\Users\Me\strm
1523 folders (1 folder = 1 movie).
2220 .strm files
C:\Users\Me\gdrive-movies
1854 .strm files
Too much in gdrive-movies. Should be 1523 in a perfect world
So what's in gdrive-movies that shouldn't be there? Examples:
Another Movie (2015)-trailer.mov.strm
Another Movie (2015)-trailer.mp4.strm
Another Movie (2015).srt.
These are not movies and I don't think they need to be copied to the 'movies' folder.
Searching for *-trailer.* returns only the .strm for trailers, but it's 587 files.
1854 - 587 = 1267 .strm files left. That's not correct. Now gdrive-movies would not contain enough .strm files.
So, then I went back to the 'movies01' export and I realised:
Movies in the format:
Movie.Name.Year.720p.SourceType-ReleaseGroup.ext
are not being copied to 'gdrive-movies' by the plugin.
In recent years, I started to keep the original filename of the movie, rather than renaming it. So all my films will have a "clean" human readable folder name, but the movies will be a mix of clean readable names and the original scene release name.
I think I posted about this before, around page 40 something if I remember correctly and I think you fixed it (definitely you fixed the *.srt.strm extra files), but maybe it crept back in somehow?
Code:
Windows 10 running Kodi 16.1 and GDrive Plugin 0.8.06
-Export STRM to: C:\Users\Me\strm
- Export TV to: C:\Users\Me\gdrive-tv
- Export movies to: C:\Users\Me\gdrive-movies
LibreElec running Kodi 16.1 and GDrive Plugin 0.8.12
-Export STRM to: storage/strm
- Export TV to: storage/gdrive-tv
- Export movies to: storage/gdrive-movies
My Google Drive structure:
Code:
documentaries
Series Name
Season 01
Series Name - SXXEXX - Episode Name.mkv
series (same as documentaries)
Series Name
Season 01
Series Name - SXXEXX - Episode Name.mkv
movies01
My Movie (2016)
My.Movie.2016.720p.bluray-group.mkv
My.Movie.2016.720p.bluray-group-trailer.mov
My.Movie.2016.720p.bluray-group.En.srt
Another Movie (2015)
Another Movie (2015).mkv
Another Movie (2015)-trailer.mp4
Another Movie (2015).srt
movies02 (same as movies01)
When I manually export (example right click 'movies01' folder > export strm > 'yes confirm') it exports to two locations (because it detects movies01 contains movies):
- movies01 (nested folder structure, just like my google drive)
- gdrive-movies (flat structure with all .strm files in the same folder)
but gdrive-movies does not contain the same number of files, as movies01. Analysing this:
C:\Users\Me\strm
1523 folders (1 folder = 1 movie).
2220 .strm files
C:\Users\Me\gdrive-movies
1854 .strm files
Too much in gdrive-movies. Should be 1523 in a perfect world

Another Movie (2015)-trailer.mov.strm
Another Movie (2015)-trailer.mp4.strm
