Re: Anidb Movie selction changed?

Yes, if you enter the ID manually, then older versions of FileBot would just fetch that "series" and work with the "episode information" received, but newer versions will now check if the "series" at hand is actually a series and fail if not, for consistency: Movie type...

Re: renaming preview and effective preview don't match

At the very least you'll want to define a function before you use it. That said, we don't use global functions in any of our examples, so best not to use them. Not all Groovy features make sense for FileBot Format code. You can definitely use local variables though, and the value of a local variable...

Re: Anime movies not possible using AniDB

You'll probably need to call filebot -clear-cache once if you retry with the same ID within the same day after changing the net.filebot.AniDB.movie setting.

Re: Anime movies not possible using AniDB

Movie type Anime were never supported via search, i.e. search-by-name would never find them.

Unfortunately, no. You'll want to rely on your own custom format if you need fine-grained control over each bit and piece.
