3. Download Missing One Piece Episodes

One Pace does not currently cover the entire series. Thus, you will need to add missing episodes to fill out your collection.

Current missing episodes:

• Season 16: 181-195, 207
• Season 35: 981-1085

See the One Pace Episode Spreadsheet for up-to-date information on what episodes are available. Check column Q to see which original One Piece episodes need to be added to your library.

Place the missing episodes in their respective season folders.

4. File Renaming

Option A - Windows Executable

This approach uses an executable to rename all your files.

• Only works on Windows machines.
• Can modify exceptions.json to suit your needs. ¹

1. Copy rename.exe, seasons.json and exceptions.json to your One Pace directory. (from /dist/ folder)

    └───media
        └───anime
            └───One Pace
                ├───Season 01
                └───Season 02
                └───rename.exe
                └───seasons.json
                └───exceptions.json

2. Open executable to run.

3. Your files will be renamed automagically!

4. Check output to see what files were renamed.

Option B - Python

This approach uses python to rename all your files, which is a bit more complex but allows for more flexibility.

• Works on Windows/Linux/Mac
• Allows dry-running to check renaming
• Can modify exceptions.json to suit your needs. ¹

1. Copy the rename.py, seasons.json and exceptions.json file to your One Pace directory. (from /dist/ folder)

    └───media
        └───anime
            └───One Pace
                ├───Season 01
                └───Season 02
                └───rename.py
                └───seasons.json
                └───exceptions.json

2. Open a shell/powershell terminal.

3. Change directory to where your One Pace script folder is: cd /media/anime/One Pace/

4. Run the script in dry-run mode to see what change would occur (you can try with Docker or Python): a) Python: python3 rename.py --dry-run or python rename.py --dry-run b) Docker: docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/data -w="/data" python:3 python rename.py --dry-run

5. Once you are okay with the changes you see, remove the --dry-run flag from the command and run it again. Your files will be renamed to the corresponding One Piece episode, i.e.: "[One Pace][1] Romance Dawn 01 [1080p][FB72C13F].mkv" -> "One Pace - S01E01 - Romance Dawn, the Dawn of an Adventure.mkv"

5. Install XBMCnfoTVImporter

You need to install XBMCnfoTVImporter for plex in order to scan in One Pace. Follow the instructions and install.

6. Scan In Plex

You need to swap to the XBMCnfoTVImporter agent in Plex to scan your new One Pace folder.

1. Open Plex
2. Navigate to your anime library
3. Click 'Manage Library' -> 'Edit...'
4. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
5. Click the 'Agent' dropdown box. (and note what you have set to currently so that you can change it back)
6. Select the 'XBMCnfoTVImporter' option. (If this does not exist XBMCnfoTVImporter may not be installed correctly)
7. Click "Save Changes"
8. Click "Scan Library Files"
9. One Pace should get scanned into your library
10. Once it is complete, change your agent back to what you had originally!

Notes:

• This method will scan in One Pace without interfering with your existing shows.
• Don't press "Refresh all metadata" in plex as this may mess up your other shows.

Footnotes

1. Inside 'exceptions.json' you can map any file name to a specific episode number. It looks in your specified season directory to see if any of the .mkv files have matching text in their filenames, then renames it as the corresponding episode number if found. If you have some strange episode naming, you may need to modify this json and add your episode filenames. ↩ ↩²
