Helping filebot match "exotic" episodes

[Ishigami]

Hello,

I've been playing with Filebot for a while, I've used the GUI without much problem and I'm now playing with the CLI in order to automate some of my workflow.

I'm playing with anime, "Angel Beats!" in particular (https://anidb.net/anime/6564).

Most of the episodes are correctly identified except for the OVA's and the OP/EN. I know the OP/ED isn't even supposed to be processed (however somehow I managed to make FileBot look at those), however, I don't understand that decision, since AniDB provides information on them and they could, in theory, be renamed, although, I'm probably missing something here and that's why it works like it does.

There are two problems in particular, first one, the OVA's can't be matched to the AniDB entry. This is because the episode numbering for the OVA's continues beyond the actual episode numbering of the season, like this:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename /mnt/raid1/share/NAS/Archive/MediaInput/Anime/* -r --db anidb -non-strict --action test
...
[TEST] from [/mnt/raid1/share/NAS/Archive/MediaInput/Anime/[Hi10]_Angel_Beats_[BD_1080p]/(Hi10)_Angel_Beats!_-_13.5_(BD_1080p)_(Coalgirls).mkv] to [/mnt/raid1/share/NAS/Archive/MediaInput/Anime/[Hi10]_Angel_Beats_[BD_1080p]/Angel Beats! - 13 - Graduation.mkv]
[TEST] from [/mnt/raid1/share/NAS/Archive/MediaInput/Anime/[Hi10]_Angel_Beats_[BD_1080p]/(Hi10)_Angel_Beats!_-_14_(BD_1080p)_(Coalgirls).mkv] to [/mnt/raid1/share/NAS/Archive/MediaInput/Anime/[Hi10]_Angel_Beats_[BD_1080p]/Angel Beats! - 11 - Change the World.mkv]
...

This makes it so those episodes cannot be matched, when they should be matched to the following ones:



Question #1, I know it is unreasonable to expect FileBot to guess what I just explained, but, is there a way I could manually match the "exotic" episodes to episodes on the AniDB list? I tried the interactive mode, but the choice given is only whether to rename the episode or not, instead of a mechanism to manually match the episode. If there is no chance of this, is there any possibility of manually altering the filename in order to help FileBot with the guessing?

Question #2, is there a chance to let FileBot manage OP/ED files so I could have those too?

FileBot will treat S-type episodes as Specials. The --filter option will allow you to narrow down episode options and limit the system to the one you want:

Code: Select all

--filter "special == 1"

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db AniDB -non-strict --action TEST --log INFO --filter "special == 1"
[TEST] from [(Hi10)_Angel_Beats!_-_13.5_(BD_1080p)_(Coalgirls).mkv] to [Angel Beats! - Special 1 - Another Epilogue.mkv]

OP/ED are not supported because they are known to interfere with matching, i.e. a normal episode might get matched to an OP/ED episode object, which then makes FileBot look really stupid. Best to ignore OP/ED files outright.
