MAybe bug with name lookup in GUI
Posted: 03 Jun 2014, 20:05
I have noticed in the more recent versions, I think since 4.0 that often times series that have 2 word or more names in the first pass thru the gui will default to the wrong series and sometimes even the suggestions will not show up for the series, but when I hit ignore, it will sometimes find the right series and episode and name properly and other times just not get the name.
A specific example is a tivo file converted to mpg named Myth Hunters - whatever the episode is
Filebot when going thru the tvdb always matches it as myth - S00E01 when doing the right click thing.
This happens whether I have just the one episode in the GUI by itself or that episode mixed with other series, say for example the list below
Myth Hunters - The Nazi Hunt for Atlantis
Doctor Who - Voyage of the Damned- 400
Enlisted - Prank Wars-110
The extra numbers at the end are naming as a result from the episode lookup that happens inside the tivo guide. In Doctor Who's case the number is wrong but that happens with tivo. Myth hunters does not have an episode number because the tivo could not find a good guess so it leaves it blank.
Which comes out after right clicking as
Myth - S00E01 (in red)
Doctor Who - S00E07 - Voyage of the Damned
Enlisted - S01E10 - Prank Wars
Anyway, I put those files into the gui and right click on the tvdb, it asks me which Dr who season version I want (2005) and then correctly names Dr. Who and enlisted, but always names myth hunters to myth - S00E01.
So in that case, I delete Myth hunters from the GUI, hit rename to fix the 2 files that are correct, Dr. Who and Enlisted. Then put in Myth Hunters by itself, hit shift right click and tvdb and type myth hunters and it find the right episode
Myth Hunters - S02E10 - The Nazi Hunt for Atlantis
This is not the only show this happens with but a good example of errors I have been running into recently.
Since I am getting these all out and stuff is popping from my memory, 2 other things. Is there a way to have it default to match the priority of name first episode second? I often have things again because the tivo episodes are wrong that will match the priority based on the episode number that is wrong even though the episode name is correct. In those cases I have to rename the file without the (wrong) episode number and it looks it up fine.
For my purposes it would be better to have it give priority to the matching name vs the episode number. Also it does not always note properly when there is a change. It would be nice that if it changes the episode number from the input that you can visually see that. I believe I have asked the priority question before, just wondering if anything might now be able to change that.
I can also easily understand that in some downloaded files, the name is completely wrong but the episode number is correct so in those cases you would want the priority to be the number. I have run into that myself so know that being able to change the priority would be great in the different circumstances.
One last thought/question since Dr Who was there. Is there any way in the GUI to set a preference for priority for certain series names. In my case, Dr. Who is on BBC america and I have been recording all the episodes. These are all the 2005 version. Every time I rename an episode or series of episodes of dr who, I get he pop up
Doctor Who
Doctor Who (2005)
Doctor Who (2009) (which is not even correct, its actually minisodes but that is not filebots issue)
Doctor Who confidential and more.
It would be nice if for certain series we could set a preset similar to the names so that it always defaults to Doctor Who (2005) in my case so I didn't have to select it every time.
That may be possible now in the GUI, but I think only in the CLI, just wondering if maybe I missed something and/or adding a suggestion.
Thanks for all your work and help
