--q is for specifying a query if auto-detection doesn't work.

--filter is used to tell filebot exactly what episode data should be taken into consideration.

e.g.

Code: Select all

--filter "n =~ /US/"

Filebot doesn't treat aliases as multiple shows. One show is one show (with unique TheTVDB id). Send me logs of what's not working.


--filter allows you to filter valid episode data. It's exactly the naming format, n name, s season, e episode, etc

Having imdb id in the filename definitely will help filebot and other programs.

With just xattr metadata that would work but only for filebot.

PS: I think movie-mode ignores the --filter argument, it's only to tvshows. For movies it's best to keep the name + year and there shouldn't be any problems.
