Problem with TheMovieDB robot

Post by ugessss »

Hello,

When I rename (in the web of TheMovieDB) an episode of recent TV series as the eighth season of "The Vampire Diaries" or translate the last episode of "Boruto: Naruto next generations" to Spanish, Filebot finds this change. However, when I translate an old TV series (episodes of Ally MCBeal to Spanish, in the web of TheMovieDB too) FileBot does not find it. It shows the name that was before the change (Episode 1, Episode 2 ... in the third, fourth and fifth season). Why? I know when i update something in TheMovieDB web (an overview, title, cast members, translations) it can take up to 8 or 24 hours to reflect those changes in the API, but It's been over that time and as I said recent TV series are found without problems by the program.

I asked in TheMovieDB and they said this is a problem of the program

Regards

For example this: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1480-ally-mcbeal/season/4

Ally MCBeal season 4 in spanish. I edit the name of episodes in Themoviedb web. However when i try to change the name in filebot it shows the name It had before.

I try with a new TV serie, currently in broadcast. Boruto naruto next generations episode 15. And like before I edit the name in Themoviedb web in spanish.
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/70881-bor ... s/season/1

Filebot in this case finds the correct name.

In filebot history appear this:

It works ok for me, what version do you run ?
(in the GUI, you can press F5 and click the i)

if you try search for "Ally McBeal" in Spanish under "Episodes" does it show the same thing ?

try filebot.cmd -clear-cache from the console (cmd)

FileBot will cache results for up to a week locally. If you make changes online, then you may need to flush the cache to make sure FileBot is getting the latest data from the server again.

I did not know this:
"GUI: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL"

I tested it and I think it's buggy:
if in the "Rename " = it deletes all files except ".lock" in \data\cache\0 (ONLY) = OK
if in e.g. the "Episodes" = it looks like it reset all files in \data\cache\0 (ONLY)
I guess it cant delete because its in use ?

"CLI: Run filebot -clear-cache" deletes ALL folder/files = OK

BUT I think the real question is why have different cache folders, e.g. I have cache\1 and cache\2 with the same files (maybe because of version change?)

1.
GUI: Politely ask the CacheManager to clear and flush all caches (and how exactly that is done is an implementation detail). Each new filebot process will either use a cache folder that is not in use, or create a new one, and this way or clearing the cache will only affect the one owned by the current process.


2.
CLI: Simply delete the cache folder without loading any code or opening any caches.
