duplicate cleanup is removing the betterfile..

[sgtwtf]

discovered filebot today and i got the renameing part working fine. i run the duplicate function and it has a [-] next to the 720 and a [+] next to the 480. i have tried updating the file name from {vf} to {hpi} and there was no change.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:duplicates "f:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080"
[*] 31 (2016)
Failed to read media characteristics: DateTimeParseException: Text 'UTC 2016-12-28T16:27:28Z' could not be parsed at index 14
[+] 1. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 480p tt3835080.avi
[-] 2. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 720p tt3835080.mkv
Done ?(?????)?

or

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:duplicates --mode logical --action delete "f:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080"
[*] 31 (2016)
Failed to read media characteristics: DateTimeParseException: Text 'UTC 2016-12-28T16:27:28Z' could not be parsed at index 14
[+] 1. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 304p tt3835080.avi
[DELETE] 2. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 534p tt3835080.mkv
Done ?(?????)?

what am i doing wrong?

1.
What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say?


2.
What does filebot -mediainfo say for the files in question?

I can't reproduce the problem. Please try other files and see if there's anything special about this particular pair of files.


I can only assume that this warning is responsible for the second files having no score at all, and thus ends up at the end of the list:

Code: Select all

Failed to read media characteristics: DateTimeParseException: Text 'UTC 2016-12-28T16:27:28Z' could not be parsed at index 14

Is there a way to tell it to just remove the smaller file?

My concern is that there could be other files than behave like this since its unknown what the cause is. If i can tell it to remove the smaller file that would make me feel better about running this on a whole directory vs just a folder.

The -no-probe might work.

[sgtwtf]

Thank you.
That worked.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:duplicates "f:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080" --conflict auto --action delete -no-probe
[*] 31 (2016)
[+] 1. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 534p tt3835080.mkv
[DELETE] 2. F:\Movies\31 (2016) tt3835080\31 2016 304p tt3835080.avi
Done ?(?????)?

If you don't mind, please run without -no-probe but with --action test and collect all the Failed to read media characteristics error messages, so we can add support for all the additional out-of-specification date patterns you might have in your library.
