This is a feature request (or possibly a bug report) to improve matching logic when there are multiple instances of subtitles with the same language.
To distill the situation to a simple example consider this tree:

I've also tested this with multiple seasons and filebot correctly identifies the season, but always gets tripped if there is more than one sub file for a language.
Maybe this can be handled with a script but I'm not sure because the problem is within filebot's episode matching logic.
Anyway, if the episode match logic can be improved, it might be worthy of a special command line option or if possible to do it seamlessly ever better.
To handle this situation would require adding the subtitle index, but I notice a lot of people in the forums are doing this in their custom scripts anyway (I am), eg:
Code: Select all
{if (f.subtitle) '(' + { fn.matchAll(/\d+/).last() } + ')' }
{ if (f.subtitle) '(' + fn.match(/_(\d+)$/) + ')' }
Code: Select all
$ filebot --action test -rename -non-strict -r Seinfeld.S01-S09 --format "{sxe} {episode.title}{subt}" --sub_index
