Cannot force TV show with --q

[djomp]

Firstly, thanks for an awesome piece of software, and great help across the forums that has got me this far.

I've used filebot to rename all my media, but found that my Pixar Shorts folder got missed - turns out the files just start SxxExx, no show name at all.

I tried to force the show title through the command line, but it doesn't want to know...

Code: Select all

rick@home:/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts$ filebot -rename ./S01E01\ -\ The\ Adventures\ of\ Andre\ and\ Wally\ B.mkv --q "Pixar Shorts" -non-strict
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
No media files: [/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts/S01E01 - The Adventures of Andre and Wally B.mkv]
Failure (°_°)

I even tried renaming one file, but it still didn't pick it up:

Code: Select all

rick@home:/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts$ filebot -rename ./Pixar\ Shorts\ -\ S01E16.mp4 -non-strict
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
No media files: [/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts/Pixar Shorts - S01E16.mp4]
Failure (°_°)

Using --list picks them up fine, though:

Code: Select all

rick@home:/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts$ filebot -list --q "Pixar Shorts"
Pixar Shorts - 1x01 - The Adventures of André and Wally B.
Pixar Shorts - 1x02 - Luxo Jr.
Pixar Shorts - 1x03 - Red's Dream
Pixar Shorts - 1x04 - Tin Toy
Pixar Shorts - 1x05 - Knick Knack
Pixar Shorts - 1x06 - Geri's Game
Pixar Shorts - 1x07 - For the Birds
Pixar Shorts - 1x08 - Mike's New Car
Pixar Shorts - 1x09 - Boundin'
Pixar Shorts - 1x10 - Jack-Jack Attack
...

It's only a few files, and I could do them manually, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong here in case I hit the issue again in the future.

I see. No media files doesn't make sense here. I think the keyword Shorts to might cause these files to be ignored completely:

Code: Select all

No media files: [/home/plex/Kids TV/Pixar Shorts/Pixar Shorts - S01E16.mp4]

As a workaround, with a bit of pre-processing, something like this might work:

Code: Select all

-rename /home/plex/Kids TV/TEST/S01E16.mp4 --q "Pixar Shorts"

Thanks! That helped - I had to specify --db TheTVDB as well, then it picked it up.
