Yes, after clearing the cache, the AnimeList mappings for TVDB 384017 & 384424 are good. Thanks. TVDB 335088 (Nekopara) is an upstream data issue, so the fix for that will need to come from a fix there. However TVDB159640 (Sword Art Online), still has what I think is a missing map for the 2nd ha...

Re: #1 - Good call, I totally forgot to verify the mapping was correct, my apologies for wasting your time on that one. Re: #2 - Part 1 - Is it a set interval for FileBot to refresh the mappings? Is there any way to determine the last time it refreshed or initiate a refresh? Part 2 (Stripping entrie...

If it makes any difference, a fresh download/run of r8296 returns the same behavior.
Using --q "ID#" or --q "Series Name" also returns the same behavior.

I'm currently trying to find a solution to using TheTVDB, but wanting AniDB metadata and not being able to get it. Even for series that have mappings in Scud Lee's XML AND are single season. Which baffles me then on why the mappings I had been using don't work, namely {db.AniDB.id} and {order.airdat...

Does AniDB not return that information if you query by ID then? Would this also explain the invalid aliases returned (somehow incorrect cached results)? or is it just a behavior of the current filebot query code if you query by ID? <sigh> I switched to lookups by ID as lookups by name *usually* work...

hm... perhaps there is something behind the scenes wrong? perhaps a windows update/defender that is causing issues? I downloaded r8046, and tried my groovy script to get the series info and it does find the name of the series, but no aliases? I just don't get it. //--------------------------------//...

Thanks for looking into it.

I've recently discovered when using AniDB.getSeriesInfo in a groovy script, that the aliasNames field is frequently unreliable. On the primary system I have been developing my groovy script on, I've recently been able to pinpoint some irregularities in my match results to INVALID (as in Aliases for ...

Thanks!,

I revisited the page on using --mapper and noticed that you can use 1:N mappers and have been experimenting with it.

At this time I'm good with the responses here and will digest what I have learned.

Thanks again.

Thanks Kim I'll look into these, are these bindings available only format/filter etc? would they be available in groovy script directly or would I need to call some method to get them? I should have mentioned I was trying to get this information within a groovy script, prior to calling rename. I'm e...

Is there a way to get the # of episodes for a specific Series in TheTVDB and AniDB other then getEpisodeList? So far it seems like I'd have to get the episode list (AniDB.getEpisodeList and TheTVDB.getEpisodeList) and count the # of episodes returned.. Is this effectively the "best" method...

I'd like to have filebot cache the following file (in xml) - http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.xml.gz I've seen a few examples in the forums on caching xml that is a direct download, but nothing on how you would download it, decompress it and then cache it. As for why, it has Series Synonyms in it, ...

okay, that was the primary issue with values not matching when they "should", as the windows utilities I was using to search for are case insensitive they worked just fine with the mixed case, switching all the entries to lowercase and doing a lowercase search solves that problem. At this ...

ah so in general groovy stuff works in the filter .. that is useful.. I kinda suspected it was one of the bindings was silently throwing an error and killing the expression .. Apply filter [println db.AniDB.n ? println db.AniDB.primaryTitle ? println db.TheTVDB.n ? def lines = lines('C:\\Users\\vitk...

Re: Filter - n/primaryTitle matching For the filter of x in lines('file'), do the line endings matter, or are there special (non-ascii for example, * or @ 'special' characters) that need to be stripped out for the match to work? would you expect a file with a few hundred lines to present problems wi...

Re: Filter by Age My apologies, I used examples of currently airing shows primarily because the example info was readily available for the post, and as currently airing shows I'm interesting in increasing the accuracy of their matching first. However without any real in-depth analysis, from the file...

Re: AniDB Synonyms I ran filebot -clear-cache and I still do see the AniDB Synonyms for Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld (2020) Our AniDB Aliases: [Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld, ???????????? ???????? War of Underworld (2020), ???????????? ???????? War of Underwo...

Well, I think I have a better idea of why the Re: Zero stuff frequently doesn't get matched (against TheTVDB), and why using -q "Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu" just doesn't work .. It seems that Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (which is what SeriesInfo returns, and has the hi...

I'm experimenting with using jaroWinklerDistance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distance) from Apache Commons (https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/apidocs/overview-summary.html) to determine the "highest" matching entries in TheTVDB/AniDB. First I query for ...

The net.filebot.web.SeriesInfo object returned from AniDB.getSeriesInfo("Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld (2020)", locale) doesn't look to include any synonyms, only official titles .. [runtime:null, startDate:2020-07-12, genres:[], certification:null, rating:4.69, id:1514...

Thanks, that helped. It seems this part was having issues in the latest filebot .. myShowSeason = "${ switch (myShowMonth) { case { myShowMonth.matches('0?[1-3]') }: return 'winter' case { myShowMonth.matches('0?[4-6]') }: return 'spring' case { myShowMonth.matches('0?[7-9]') }: return 'summer'...

Can we query the Animelists within a groovy script directly? Non-strict looks to frequently be required to match most anime *i* am downloading, which is fine except there is a decent number of times where the match is not even the correct series AND the "correct" series name is part of the...

Awesome, Thanks for both adding the additional error message logging and detailing it specifically here (I've bookmarked this info now)

Do I need to set a specific log level or will they be logged by the default log level?

Is there a way to get *just* FileBot r7904 vs the latest beta? I tried to download r8004, however it totally doesn't like something I'm doing in the script (which works with r7829) .. startup failed: Script1.groovy: 680: unexpected token: elseif @ line 680, column 7. } elseif (mod10 == 2 && ...

For various reasons I am adding xattr (episode information) to a large number of files that have been verified/sorted/renamed using one of the AniDB clients. The filename format is basically this: English Series name - Episode#WithVersion - Episode Title [ReleaseGroup][Source][Resolution][Codec][CRC...
