Confused as to what the end result is supposed to be.

[Tomatoshadow]

While I appreciate the work that was put into this, I'm a bit confused as to what exactly it's supposed to do?

I was under the impression it would organize One Pace episode with the appropriate metadata. However from what I can see, all it does is merge episodes together and use the original metadata? Am I doing something wrong?

Just things I've noticed quickly:

1. The series is organized in 32 seasons but those aren't named by arcs.
2. The number of episode per arc doesn't match. It seems like episodes are named in a way that separates them into multiple episodes in Plex.
3. The metadata for all episodes doesn't match One Pace. Seems to just name them after TVDB?
4. First arc's special episode isn't placed in the first arc.

I think it would be very helpful if you could share an example of what the intended result is supposed to look like. Either I did not configure it correctly (but looking at troubleshooting and other threads everything seems to be fine naming wise + tvdb4.mappin file in each folder). It's also entirely possible this is not the result I was expecting or looking for, in which case I would have liked to just get a quick peek at what the end result will look like!

Cheers

If I had to guess, this probably has something to do with the tvdb entry for one pace getting removed? I know that if I leave the name listed on these instructions they just default to the original one piece episodes. Either way, as the state of things now, this whole project is unusable. I hope it gets updated soon, because as it stands now this whole project is kind of dead in the water

[Tomatoshadow]

I'm honestly not sure if this is the intended result or not, hard to tell if I did something wrong or that's just as good as it's gonna get!

However, I did end up just setting up custom metadata on my own based on what others have done for Rebuild of Naruto (a similar project for Naruto). It takes a while but the result is pretty much flawless.

[ravnwing]

is that process less arduous than going in and renaming everything manually? because if not, please send me a link youve got, because as it stands now, thats where I'm at

[Tomatoshadow]

It's definitely more... Complicated. My issue with with renaming stuff manually is that:

1. I've lost my progress just switching agents, scanning etc. Pretty frustrating.
2. Organizing seasons can be tricky.
3. The show usually still needs to be matched to an existing series, I don't like that.

Also, once it's set up you can share it with others and it'll just work. Once you get the hang of it it's just a matter of copy pasting titles and descriptions etc.

I use TinyMediaManager to rename episodes and generate NFO files. I just use the default naming which gives something like "One Pace - S01E01 - Romance Dawn, the Dawn of an Adventure".

1. I take the meta data from the One Pace website. That is to say, I copy paste the title and plot and paste it in TinyMediaManager. I like to include the manga chapter and anime episode the episodes are originally from.
2. TinyMediaManager will generate NFO files with the metadata you put in.
3. I also add the covers this guy made to each season.
4. In plex, I use XBMCnfoTVImporter. You need to switch your libraries agent to it and scan. It won't mess up all your other series (unless you do "Refresh all metadata).
5. You should be able to Match One Pace with the NFOs you created. If you refresh Metadata for the show it should re-organize and rename (and add posters) pretty much everything based on your NFO files.
6. You do have to rename seasons and seasons description manually though... No way around that currently.

You can then switch your agent back and rescan to put everything back to normal. Your custom metadata should stay but I think you do have to set up the priorities in your settings so that local metadata is on top.

End result looks something like this:

I've done the same with naruto and monogatari:

By far the cleanest way I found to organize all this... Which it could be all automated but it is what it is. I took the nfos for Naruto and Monogatari from other people but I set up One Pace on my own. I only did up to season 13 so far though. I could probably upload them somewhere if anyone wants to do the same.

Hope this is helpful.

@Tomatoshadow looks really nice. you reckon you could upload them somewhere? I'd love to setup something like this.

Sure. Can't promise it's perfect and I've only done up to Season 13 so far but here you go: https://mega.nz/file/6dBn2SzY#KLz225q3x6KH15WsILEicOL0EqzsToh_CmPvCJsGHIg

I have created an fork and adapted the renaming for the files provided by @Tomatoshadow
See https://github.com/BasConijn/one-pace-to-plex

I have only tested up to season 6, however I updated the config up to season 13.
Season 7 and 11 did not line up correctly, so I have not done these either.

[Tomatoshadow]

That's really cool! I'll see if I can make time to do the rest

For season 7... They are actually not part of One Pace! I referred to the episode guide and it said to watch 46-47 after Arlong Park. The person who made the cover also made one for "Adventures of Buggy" that's between Arlong Park and Loguetown so I made it into season 7.

Same thing for 11. It's only one episode but it's trials of koby-meppo.

I think I just forgot to number those episode correctly... I'll work on the rest and update later.

I am super curious on how your file naming scheme for monogatari looks, and what you ended up doing there, mine looks like a complete mess and I am unsure how it is even as good as it is lol. For example, how do you have "Monogatari Series: Second Season" split up like you do? Do you use tvdb4.mapping? Anidb? again Id love to see it

I have created an fork and adapted the renaming for the files provided by @Tomatoshadow
See https://github.com/BasConijn/one-pace-to-plex

I noticed you have the posters incorrect for the seasons past season 6.
Season 7 should be Loguetown.

As I explained earlier, the episode guide and One Pace website lists "The Adventures of Buggy's Crew" as the 7th season. They're just not out yet. I personally just put episodes 46 and 47 (from the original series, not One Pace) as the episode guide suggests.

[Tomatoshadow]

Monogatari is setup the exact same way with the importer agent and nfo files, although I used the ones someone else made: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/h87b1p/monogatari_metadata_done_right/

Monogatari second season is just the Neko, Kabuki, Hana, Otori, Oni and Koi arcs / novels so it makes sense to list them as arcs rather than have a "season" with a bunch of arcs in it then arcs as seasons, which is how it ended up being. End result is just one season per arc so it matches the books.

Naming is pretty much how I named stuff (just tiny media manager's default lol) For example:

Monogatari - S01E01 - Hitagi Crab - Part 1

Someone already did all the hard work so all I did was rename the files to match the nfos.

Hope this helps.

Hey folks, sorry for the late response, been busy with other things.

I think my README could do a better job explaining what this repo does. I'll try to reexplain that here:

1. With a Python script, we rename the One Pace episodes to match the official release as closely as possible.
   1. Example: [One Pace][677-678] Punk Hazard 12 [720p][CD83F1E9].mkv --> One.Piece.E603-E604.720p.mkv
2. Using ASS, we set One Piece on a TVDB4 mode, this allows for 2 things
   1. We can create our own season using the tvdb4.mapping file
   2. We can ID the episodes to enable HAMA to fetch the right metadata (titles, description, voices actors etc)
3. Like mentioned, HAMA fetches the metadata because ASS was able to map our files to TVDB entries.

Here's a preview of my Plex page for One Piece

Here's a screenshot of a season

The posters were taken recently on the official One Pace discord in their FAQ.

@Tomatoshadow Thanks for sharing your approach, worked great for me!

I adapted your approach to a new repo containing slightly updated NFO files, an auto renamer inspired by this repo and more detailed instructions. Sharing in case anyone else is interested -> one-pace-for-plex

[Tomatoshadow]

Alright so I went ahead and finished creating the metadata files for all 34 seasons.

https://mega.nz/file/DYZXiCLS#4ag1uhLA9ef0RHV7KfPGUAcKBkfs9FvBEIhAB2gW1po

I couldn't think of a way to automate this so I actually went and copy pasted the info of each episode one by one lol. A few notes:

• Each episode should have a Title, season, episode and release date. I've included the release / aired date to make it a bit more future proof... That way if there's an update you can just compare the date.
• Season names seem to work! However season descriptions don't... If you want those you'll have to edit them manually.
• As some others pointed out, no the seasons won't always match. This is because One Pace isn't finished. The episode guide goes straight from Arlong Park (6) to Loguetown (7) for instance but the one pace website lists an arc in between those, it just hasn't been released.
• To follow up on this, since this is for my personal use, my intention is for the series to be complete; I do not intend to jump between Plex and other services. This means that some of the included NFO are not One Pace.

As of today (2023-09-17), the following arcs are not complete:

• The Adventures of Buggy's Crew
• Arabasta
• Jaya
• Skypiea
• Water Seven
• Impel Down
• Wano

As such, I currently have the original episodes mixed in to complete the series. I've filled in the metadata for those episodes and left the episode numbers as is to make it clear they're not One Pace. These should match the One Pace Episode Guide (46,47,121-130,145,151-152,160-195, 207,250-263,453-456). Obviously, you'd want to update these as the new One Pace edits are released.

Anyway sorry for hi-jacking this repo lol, I just hope it helps others trying to achieve the same result. Here's what it looks like on my side:

[SpykerNZ]

@Tomatoshadow thanks for the amazing work finishing off all these nfos! I've updated the repo I created with all these latest .nfo files - I hope that's OK! I'll let you know if I spot any issues in them.

[jassibacha]

@Tomatoshadow @SpykerNZ Thank you so much for this, makes things a lot easier. Are you guys considering maintaining this when new releases come out on the other repo? For example, I see someone else has tried to PR some fixes over there already for Jaya 08.

And The Adventures of Buggy’s Crew has released finally, I just made a Pull Request to fix that as well.

[SpykerNZ]

@jassibacha yes I plan to maintain this for the foreseeable future. will look at the PRs when I get a moment spare.
