Naming Not matching TVDB

Post by ddanielww »

Coronation Street_20180105_19302000
Coronation Street_20180105_20302100

The above files should be named

Coronation Street - S59E05 - Fri Jan 05 2018 Part 1
Coronation Street - S59E06 - Fri Jan 05 2018 Part 2

However, it re-names both

Coronation Street - S59E06 - Fri Jan 05 2018 Part 2.

This is messing up my automation, can anything be done to fix this ?

Unfortunately, FileBot more or less assumes that there's only one episode per date. You may not be able to fully automate rare corner cases such as this one for now. Especially if there's no identifying information other than the date, which does not uniquely identify the episode in this case.

As suggested by kim, by adding additional identifying information (e.g. the episode title) you might be able to nudge FileBot into the right direction.

Your suggestion of adding part 1 worked for a few weeks now....

I have a file "Coronation Street_20180122_19302000 - Part 1.ts" the system is putting this as S24E01... But it should be able to lookup the air date 20180122 and match it to TVDB... This has been working until today, nothing has changed in my setup. Please advise.

All information is correct on tvdb

Even without the part 1 it can't even match it close like it used to ... It only used to get confused with the part 1 and part 2. It is not able to select the correct season or year now, whats going on ?
