Today I've been doing some manual stream export testing using two different setups.

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):

1. movies01 (nested folder structure, just like my google drive)
   
2. 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

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?

Movies need to have a (date) in them to be considered a movie.
