Use themoviedb instead thetvdb for naming episode

[R91]

Hi,

Since a time ago, TheTVDB locked a lot of TV show and this shows can't be translated, so the info is only avalible in English. For example:
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/arrow/seasons/7
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/the-flash-2014/seasons/5
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/the-good ... /seasons/2
Please check Spanish language (Español)

I am a Spanish user and when use Filebot with this shows, Filebot renaming it in english because there isn't Spanish info.

For this reason I am using themoviedb also for scraper my TV Show in kodi:

Would it be possible to add themoviedb as a source to rename TV show?
Perhaps it could be added in a subsidiary way, when it does not find information in the requested language

Best regards

Yes, TheMovieDB is supported in Episode Mode.

Thank you for your quickly answer.

I use Filebot in a Synology with FileBot Node 0.2.8.2 as Front End, How can I indicate that use themoviedb?

[rednoah]

If you're using FileBot Node, then that's just a front-end for the amc script, and that indeed does not support TheMovieDB as Episode Mode data source.

If you want to rename episode files with TheMovieDB, then I recommend using the FileBot GUI application.

Ok,
For Synology the only alternative is using it with the command line?

Yes, if you use filebot -rename calls, then you can specify --db TheMovieDB::TV to use TheMovieDB as Episode Data Source.

Sorry to come up with this topic again, but somehow I need a little help. I like the cli of filebot and prefere theMovieDB. Now I want to rename my episodes after a specific episode group (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/37854/epi ... 007c594bdf)
I know there are options like "--order" and "--mapping" and I tried something like

Shell: Select all

filebot -rename -r ~/One\ Piece\ \{tmdb-37854\}/  --db TheMovieDB::TV --order "Absolute" -non-strict  --action test --format "{plex.id}"

but the result is not what I want, because there are more than one "Absolut" episode group (can be listet here https://developer.themoviedb.org/refere ... ode-groups) and filebot picks the wrong one.
So, is it possible to tell filebot which episode_id it should used for the renaming?

[rednoah]

When using TheMovieDB, then --order Absolute will pick the first episode group of that type. It's unfortunately not possible to manually select an episode group by group id, so renaming files against TVDB Order (Absolute) specifically is not possible.


Since you are trying to match files against TVDB Order (Absolute) you could probably just do --db TheTVDB --order Absolute to get what you want.


I strongly recommend naming files according to TheMovieDB / Airdate Order in the end. The other orders are useful for matching though, so you can match by some arbitrary input order and then name with TheMovieDB / Airdate Order naming and numbering.
