Playing around with custom filters and running into some odd issues. Two that i don't know how to fix.
1- I have the following filter with "type" specifically set to "episodes", but when mylibrary scans, it's dumping all of the strm files into my movies dropbox.
Logs are even pretty clear it just considers the strm files movies:
Can you explain the "type" field for the filters and how the parser is determining whether a file should be a movie or a tv episode?
My second problem also appears to be a parsing issue, but is much more complicated i fear. I'm trying to add a playon:tbs filter to add "conan" to my library. It appears the TVDB lookup fails in the mylibrary scan which leaves me getting folders in "TV Shows" for each date (2/14/2012), each containing one episode, but no root "conan" folder
My config is this:
The logs indicate the lookup fails and will consider the episode special
I guess my question is, if the tvdb lookup fails, is there a way to specify a show name in the filter and dump the strm files in that folder? That way a bunch of custom parsing doesn't create an unusable directory structure?

Code:
<Netflix custom_parser="PlayOn">
<subfolder name="Instant Queue/Genres/Sports & Fitness" recursive="true" type="episodes" prefix="[Netflix] "></subfolder>
</Netflix>
