BBC Documentaries

Post by cheaters »

Howdy
I have a file titled "BBC.Secrets.of.the.Masons" and could not match it although it does exist in the databases:

https://www.thetvdb.com/series/bbc-docu ... es/6608952
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/569831 ... the-masons

While looking through Episodes under BBC Documentaries I see there are two entries.

One is spelled incorrectly. "BBC Documentaires" (is this something I did and if so how do I get rid of it?)
One is spelled correctly, "BBC Documentaries" but only has episodes from the year 2020.

Code: Select all

Nov 29, 2020 12:06:22 AM net.filebot.ui.AbstractSearchPanel$FetchTask done
WARNING: BBC Documentaries has only 2020 seasons.
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: net.filebot.web.SeasonOutOfBoundsException: BBC Documentaries has only 2020 seasons.

I ended up choosing "Skip" when the episode could not be found in the Rename panel and then typing in "BBC Documentaries" which found the correct episode and placed it in the New Names panel. While that resolved it I am just curious what is going wrong in the Episodes Panel in FileBot?

If you're using the Episodes panel, then you have to select All Seasons to list all episodes of all seasons, instead of selected one. Some TV Show just don't have a Season 1.

Yes, I did that. It only shows 2020.

EDIT

Now I am getting (with All Seasons selected):
BBC Documentaries - 20100603 - Little Ships: The Miracle of Dunkirk
BBC Documentaries - 20110613 - World War Two: 1941 and the Man of Steel
BBC Documentaries - 20111101 - The Most Courageous Raid of WWII
BBC Documentaries - 20150129 - Attenborough's Paradise Birds
BBC Documentaries - 20190404 - Jack The Ripper - The Case Reopened
BBC Documentaries - 20190829 - World War Speed: The Drugs that Won WWII
BBC Documentaries - 20191009 - Van Meegeren: The Forger Who Fooled the Nazis
BBC Documentaries - 20200408 - The Countess and the Russian Billionaire

Clicking on "BBC Documentaries" that is found in the Episodes panel shows 8 episodes and the link is:

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/113848-bbc-documentaries

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/113848-bb ... es/seasons

It's a database issue at TMDB.

I am still curious where the misspelling comes from in the Episodes list "BBC Documentaires" where is FileBot pulling this list from and can it be repaired?

If TheMovieDB doesn't list the information you want:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/113848-bb ... es/seasons

Then use TheTVDB instead:
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/bbc-docu ... s/official

I added more above. It's a database issue at TMDB. Guess I will need to mention that it needs to be repaired there. I would rather not have to switch my preset back and forth between TMDB:TV and TVDB for specific titles.

:!: In any case. I am still curious where the misspelling comes from in the Episodes list "BBC Documentaires"
:?: Where is FileBot pulling this misspelled Episode listing from, and can it be repaired?

The auto-completion in Episodes panel is based on all known titles. In this case, BBC Documentaires is the French title. Regardless of which alias title you select, all of them will boil down to the same numeric series identifier.

Thanks for your response.

:?: I assumed as much, but have you tried yourself?

They don't show the same information when they are selected while using TheMovieDB.
When using TheMovieDB :

Code: Select all

Nov 30, 2020 1:17:22 PM net.filebot.ui.AbstractSearchPanel$SearchTask done
WARNING: 'BBC Documentaires' has not been found.
TVMaze works
TheTVDB works
Even AniDB works
There is a BUG with TheMovieDB::TV

If using TheTVDB series names as auto-completion candidates for TheMovieDB::TV doesn't work well, then we might have to maintain different auto-completion candidates for different databases.

Using GUI FileBot 4.9.2 (r8060)

There is no problem with e.g.
BBC Documentaries - 20100603 - Little Ships: The Miracle of Dunkirk
