If you find anything that seems wrong, just post a comment and I'll take a look at it.
@DodgyAussie
* the files are named correctly according to [thetvdb.com](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/xxxholic)
S00E01 -> Movie
S00E02 -> Shunmuki 1
S00E03 -> Shunmuki 2
S00E04 -> Rou 1
S00E05 -> Rou 2
Why on earth would you use TVDB for anime? TVDB is trash for live action and even more trash for anime. And what's with the retarded naming scheme? Where did the episode names go?
@Godim
I know TVDB is not the best, but its definitely the most supported for apps like plex, emby or jellyfin.
My goal is to make the experience for users that have little to no knowledge about encoding/naming the easiest, wirhout any addons.
I'll take your feedback to heart and start adding the episode names. Maybe even a patch for this release.
>I have made the best effort to combine the highest quality of video and audio sources into one batch
FYI, UQW encodes are usually pretty bad, and at times they aren't even passable. I don't know about this specific encode of his, but I already compared enough of his stuff to lose interest.
@nabiru3
Sadly, there aren't any better alternatives. The 32GB DVDISO has no seeders and the rest were either only 8bit or 480p.
But thanks for the advice.
If you use Plex, then you should use [Absolute-Series-Scanner](https://github.com/ZeroQI/Absolute-Series-Scanner) and [HAMA](https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle) for anime. You should use the naming from AniDB.
I wished they would animate the parts they skipped in the manga or do Rei
As for localization, someone will dub the second season and ova for the complete series…
Likewise for Tsubasa or animating World Chronicles…but I guess since then the series has been left for dead or for some fans discovering them later…
Funi should have never touched it since they just left it hanging like many of their series due to popularity/sales sake,
they probably only did it due to Tsubasa’s mild fame at the time…
They should just redub Cardcaptor Sakura the original series since they bothered with Clear Card…
With the Tsubasa Eng VA cast.
I don't care for dubs just would be interesting.
Just a minor decade-long rant of mine…
@Godim
#### **The following adds episode titles to the files (windows): [Pastebin Batch Code](https://pastebin.com/zGYJmh3w)**
Run these commands within the folder "xxxHOLiC (2005) [Complete + OVA + Movie] [BD 576p HEVC AAC] [Dual-Audio]" through cmd or a .bat file.
This is rather hilarious. I just did this same remux myself last night.on season 1.
The subs UQW included have the exact same timing as the E-D scripts when I demuxed them. I feel like they might track a tiny bit early for the dialog, but not enough to really be an issue.
"but its definitely the most supported for apps like plex, emby or jellyfin."
I've never heard of those apps.
The concept of removing specials from their associated seasons and bundling them all up as "season 0" is pure stupidity. At best, it just leads to confusion.
> The concept of removing specials from their associated seasons and bundling them all up as “season 0” is pure stupidity. At best, it just leads to confusion.
I have already added a script to add episode titles to the files. And thats everything that is going to happen.
How would you suggest to name the specials instead of S00E**? Am I supposed to add them to the season one/two, or create my own season 3? You think it would be more clear if there is an episode 25 in season one?
While you maybe don't manage your torrents with Radarr or Sonarr, others do. Instead of just opening tvdb OR anidb, they would have change the name of every special to even find it in their library.
@ThatWaxEllo: Thanks for doing this. Instead of having to rename the specials folder like I have had to do on most other releases, I appreciate that you reordered this for Plex. TheTVDB is useful especially for getting voice actor pictures/character pictures for each voice actor. It's also by default on Plex so I don't have to add anything else. Cheers
Radarr? Sonarr?
More things I've never heard of. WTF are they?
Shunmuki is the sequel to Kei. It's 3rd. Rou is the sequel to Shunmuki. If anything, they should be labeled as seasons 3 and 4 or just season 3. It is extremely confusing to have them labeled as season 0. It suggests they are prequels to the first season.
Other shows often have short specials bundled with the DVD/BD releases. They are related to the season they are released with. It's silly to put such specials apart from the season they were released with.
@1998
What do you mean with "movie missing audio". Does the file not have any audio tracks or are you just not able to hear anything? Did you try players such as vlc or mpv?
When it comes to the naming debacle, I honestly don't fucking care what services you know and what you don't. One thing is certain, I will never start creating additional seasons to fit in *specials* such as movies or OVAs. As filenames will now include the episode titles, identifying shouldn't be impossible for you anymore.
P.S: I would seriously recommend trying plex or emby, it really enhances your experience.
@ThatWaxEllo
i meant there is no main audio track in movie. Check yourself. I had to put audio into it from DVD. By the way BD is 5.1ch or same as DVD 2ch?
@1998
That is very odd. I have just checked the file on my second seedbox which downloaded the series through the torrent and ffprobe shows me the two audio tracks perfectly.
As in the description explained, both english and japanese tracks are 5.1.
The md5-sum of the file is: cb961b33277f7cc8e8386f30909c7a4c
What device or software do you use to play the file?
@ThatWaxEllo
once again just check file.
It has two audio tracks with same md5 and both wrong. So after removing wrong tracks there is no audio track left. So i had to add audio from DVD (which is 2ch and in sync with this video).
Im using ffmpeg
@1998
You can find the patched version in the description above. I am sorry for the trouble I've caused you, and all the people who expected a flawless release.
###### both audio-tracks are 5.1
