My command:

youtube-dl -v -o "E:/shows/%(series)s/Season %(season_number)s/s%(season_number)se%(episode_number)s - %(episode)s.%(ext)s" --write-sub --sub-lang enUS --embed-subs --playlist-start 1 http://www.crunchyroll.com/food-wars-shokugeki-no-soma --skip-download

The folders and files created by this command all work, except for the part where I use the season number. 'Na' is substituted for 'season', 'season_id', 'season_number, and all of the chapter ones as well. Is this due to the way that crunchyroll displays seasons, or is it something that can be added to the crunchyroll extractor?

I don't know enough about youtube-dl to know if this helps, but It looks as if the season number is displayed on the page. The element has an xpath of //*[@id="showmedia_about_media"]/h4[2]

Not seeing that element in the page @BadtzMaru; tested on http://www.crunchyroll.com/oreimo. I'm pretty sure Crunchyroll doesn't have the season numbers anywhere. I generally just use the %(series)s value and then use mmv to fix it afterwards.

[Badtz13]

@oxguy3 Oh, do you need it on the playlist page? I was going off of the pages of the individual pages.

[Badtz13]

Also can't you just use the title attribute of the list items similar to this //*[@id="showview_content_videos"]/ul/li[1]/a ?

Old post but it's still open so I'll put this here for anyone else looking for a solution.

Crunchyroll doesn't have a concept of season numbers (anime seasons tend to differ between Japan and US releases).

I think %(series)s is meant as the name of the show (i.e. TV series), the best option (at the moment at least) is to use %(season)s instead. This will give you the name of the season. For single-season shows it just uses the anime name. For multiple season shows, it should appear as it does in Crunchyroll (i.e. "Fairy Tail", "Fairy Tail Series 2", "Fairy Tail Final Season")
