Match by Episode Title

[rednoah]

FileBot does take the episode title into consideration, but Season / Episode number matches always take priority if there is one, which may not always be what we want.


Selecting Absolute Airdate Order effectively allows us to ignore the typical SxE patterns and match by Episode Title instead. The {order} binding can then be used to format file names with normal Airdate SxE Order.


This works because Absolute Airdate Order uses the airdate (e.g. 2002-10-18) as episode number (e.g. 20021018) and thus never matches typical SxE patterns, which allows the title (e.g. Jaynestown) to take precedence.



GUI: Match by Title

The Presets feature allows you to create easy access shortcuts and custom Match by Episode Title buttons. The key is using Episode Order: Absolute Airdate Order for matching and then using a format such as {order.airdate.plex.name} for the destination path.




CLI: Match by Title

The --mapper option can be used to strip episode numbers from the Episode object leaving only the episode title for matching:

e.g.

Code: Select all

--mapper "episode.derive(0)"

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --mapper "episode.derive(0)" --format "{plex.name}"
[MOVE] from [Monogatari - 5x01 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 1.mkv] to [Monogatari - S00E15 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 1.mkv]
[MOVE] from [Monogatari - 5x02 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 2.mkv] to [Monogatari - S00E16 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 2.mkv]
[MOVE] from [Monogatari - 5x03 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 3.mkv] to [Monogatari - S00E17 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 3.mkv]
[MOVE] from [Monogatari - 5x04 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 4.mkv] to [Monogatari - S00E18 - Yotsugi Doll - Part 4.mkv]

Here this Match by Title don´t work.... i don´t know why...

Original Filename: Detektiv.Conan.S01E15.Eine.moerderische.Zahl.German.ANiME.FS.720p.HDTV.x264-ATAX.mkv

Match: Detektiv Conan - S25E82 - Mörderische Zeiten im Cafe Poirot (1).mkv

When i look into TheTVDB the correct name are: S01E13

What can id do to Rename this Anime?

Looks like the ö / oe prevents an exact title match in this particular case. Replacing oe with ö or o will fix that. Interestingly, the "wrong match" seems to have gotten a boost in this case particular because it was aired somewhat more recently.

Generally speaking, you can always match files and episodes manually:
