Wrong file names with networkshare (Synology NAS) under XP!

[filebottestit]

Hi,

I am absolutely new to Filebot and have a similar problem like described here (MAC: Renaming gets the volume name):
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1103

I mapped a CIFS share from a Synology NAS in Windows XP Prof. under R:\ (root directoy):

Trying to rename "A third man.mpg" located directly under R:\ works like a charme and results in finding "The third man (1949).mpg"

Under R:\ there are different subfolders containing different movies.
"The third man.mpg" is not recognized anymore by "fetch data" when the file is located in a subfolder, i.e. R:\subfolder or R:\subfolder1\subfolder2\

I guess it has to do with the subfolder´s names because R:\subfolder1\subfolder2\the third man\the third man.mpg is found correctly in the movie databases scanned by "fetch data".

What I do not understand: Same problems do NOT occur when the movies are located on the local harddrive!

C:\subfolder1\subfolder2\the third man.mpg at once results in "the third man (1949).mpg.

Since I dot NOT have each movie file in its own folder: How can I solve my problem so that I can rename the movie file names on my NAS by help of filebot?


Thanks a lot and best regards

Try r1848.


FileBot looks at file/folder equally cause it can't know which one if not both actually identify the movie. So it really depends on the actually values of subfolder1/2/3. If it was "Avatar" maybe it'll end up as the "best" match, if it was "tmp" it won't affect anything as there is no movie called "tmp". So send me the paths that don't work an I'll have a look.

Thanks for your fast reply!

Can you please tell me what r1848 is?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

I tested r1848 meanwhile but without success!

Here the szenario (network share mapped to drive R:):
R:\Kino-und-TV\dreambox-cut\der dritte mann.mpg

"der dritte mann.mpg" ist the German title of the movie "the third man".

Results from IMDB:

Der Dritte (1972)
Mann (1999)
Dreamboy and the Clam (2000)
It´s a wonderful life (1946)
Indiscreet (1958)

Like mentioned in another thread here concerning a MAC it would be a solution to provide an option for a "file name mode" that does not pay attention to the folder´s names.

Option 1. Use cmdline and use --q option to force query

Option 2. Use a conventional folder structure:

Code: Select all

R:/Media/Movies/der dritte mann.mpg

[filebottestit]

Thanks!

I think it is not unusual to define several folders - i.e. to organize already CUT videos and "HAVE TO BE CUT" ones!

Filebot really is a VERY helpful tool but I think such an option (file mode) is more than an nice-to-have-funktion.

Have a look on flexible renamer I make use of to provide the right input for filebot. This tool provides such an option too!

Does the command line "force" parameter offer me alternative titles too (like gui dialogue)?


Thanks again and best regards

You can use any folder name that's on here:
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=359

I don't know what you mean, by "force" but you can play with -rename --q and see for yourself. The cmdline will generally pick the first most likely result. You can adjust that using --filter.

Here's a filebot script for that:

Code: Select all

args.getFiles{ it.isVideo() }.each{ rename(file:it, db:'TheMovieDB', query:it.nameWithoutExtension) }

Hi,

for the first steps I do not want to use filebot in command line mode but with GUI.

Following movie is not recognized correctly although I used "y" as subfoldernames:

R:\y\y\jenseits von eden.ts

R:\y\y\east of eden.ts IS scraped correctly but the set language GERMAN is not considered. So the result is "east of eden (1955).ts

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048028/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

language prefs are not available with imdb

[filebottestit]

The link only was for imformation about the movie!

My last posting concerns scraping via themoviedb".

Best regards

Then TheMovieDB doesn't have a German title for this movie and defaults to English.

[filebottestit]

Hi,

thank you!

In IMDb "Jenseits von Eden" can be found without language prefs:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048028/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

But filebot does not provide the German title deriving from the filename.


Best regards

That was a TRICKY one!!! I did get back a German title but somewhere during the many steps of matching later on the another English-only match got preference (since the filename is in English).

Try r1854.
