How to fix small number of movie attributes?

Post by hansooloo »

Running FileBot 4.6 from Mac AppStore on OS X 10.11.3.

Suppose I have an NFS mounted Movies folder with hundreds of movies in a place like

Code: Select all

/Volumes/Movies
And suppose I have some movies whose attributes I am getting from TMDB are not to my liking, e.g., a few Bruce Lee movies where "collection" is blank, whereas I want it to be "Bruce Lee".

How can I override the data I am getting from TMDB for these few select movies without touching the others?

Do I have to make 2 runs over my Movies folder, (1) without the Bruce Lee movies, where the Movie Format expression works fine, and (2) another with Bruce Lee movies, maybe with a CSV mapper?

My current expression is:

Code: Select all

{collection.replaceAll(' Collection', '').replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A)\s(.+)/, /$2/)+'/'}{n.replaceAll(/:|]/, ", ").replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)} ({y})
Normally, it would produce a renaming scheme like the following:

Code: Select all

Bourne/Bourne Identity, The (2002)
Bourne/Bourne Legacy, The (2012)
Brave (2012)
However, my Bruce Lee movie, 'Game of Death II' does not get any 'collection' attribute from TMDB.

The easiest way is to select an item and press F2. That'll allow you to override the destination path.

A better solution is to check if the filename contains Bruce Lee and if yes build the destination path accordingly.


The best solution would be to add that information to TheMovieDB to fix this for every one.

The most "correct" solution might be to check if actors contains Bruce Lee and then act accordingly. That would work for any actor or director. :D
