[Feature Request] Finding the correct series title

Post by Joombler »

On renaming files in a folder, Filebot sometimes doesn't find the correct series (title), although it is using TVDb for relevant data.
When manual searching on that website, I mostly find the proper series information.
Would it be an idea to embed a non mandatory extra field option in Filebot's Rename function to use that TVDB series ID manually? I might overlook this, but currently version 4.9.4 doesn't support that. Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed example, but unfortunately this doesn't work as the information is based on the interpretation that Filebot presents. To shortcut this with an option to add the matching TVDB series ID.

1.
Which series are we talking about? Please include screenshots to illustrate the problem. Pretty please.


2.
You can enter the numeric series ID (e.g. 1437) instead of the series name into the search query box.

I am currently having a similar issue where the solution in this thread does not work. The series in question is "DC's Stargirl". In Step 1, I can pull it up from tvdb (where it is named "Stargirl"), but it does not show up for themoviedb. I get a message about an invalid lookup.
