latest few updates put priority on episode number
Posted: 20 Dec 2012, 00:19
Which is a problem as the great thing about filebot is that in most matching, it put the priority on the text of the episode title and would then change the season and episode number appropriately.
Please either allow us to revert to that priority level or give the option for that.
Explanation:
Unfortunately getting shows from multiple sources, they are often misnumbered on the original file number/episode number, but with the correct episode title. Often either episode numbers are different within the same database depending on DVD order or airing order and also between different sources like the tvdb vs tvrage
When I recently tried to rename multiple files, It seemed that the base renaming matching priority feature had changed.
For example, in the past, when looking up say infamous assassinations from the tvdb website, if a file was misnamed as
infamous assassinations S01E04 Heydrich butcher of Prague, it would correctly match to S1E09 - The Assassination of Heydrich. Now it seems to instead take priority with the episode information as S01E04 and continually matches as S1E04 - The Assassination of Lord Louis Montbatten. Also, it used to visually indicate there was a difference in the episode naming of varying degrees via color changes, but in the above example, it doesn't change colors at all. The issue here is, it actually tries to have lord montbatten twice in the list, along with adolph hitler, which it incorrectly matches S01E03 - Adolph Hitler as S01E03 as The Assassination of John Lennon.
Granted there are updates to the TVDB for this episode list (some I have done myself) but this is an example that I have encountered more than a few times since I think 3.1 so something is definitely not as dependable, at least for that part of matching. The fuzzy matching of episodes was extremely dependable in the past and it seems the recent changes have lost some of that functionality/priority.
I am not sure if this is related to caching of info and will do that next to see if that helps the problem, but I think it is more of a priority thing.
Please also note that after writing this, I will change some of the incorrect info in the tvdb to better match the actual show titles regarding this specific series, but this is not the only example of this occurring recently.
