Looking for imdbid in all the wrong places...

Post by kim »

Looks like when trying to look for imdbid in a nfo file to search for, it goes too far:

e.g. input folder D:\_DoWnLoaD\Done\tv\show2lookup.mkv
nfo here D:\_DoWnLoaD\Done\nfofile.nfo

it should not look above the input folder, I think

btw: using AMC NON-strict

It's too far in your particular case. It may not be too far on another person's use case. Better be on the safe side and check too much then too little.

What's the log say? Does it lead to a mismatch because of that nfo file?

Yeah, but won't FileBot cache this request the first time around? Since the file is in the root folder, it'll check it every time, but it'll also have the data cached every time.

There won't be more than one request per week, so it's pretty negligible.
