More than one episode a day

Post by ResCogitans »

I'm having problems with the British soap "Coronation Street". The trouble is that they sometimes air more than one episode in a day. Files arrive from torrents named similar to this:

Coronation.Street.2016.05.30.Part1.HDTV.X264.720p.mp4

Filebot doesn't appear to be able to figure out the part1/part2 stuff and both episodes end up being mapped to part 2:

[HARDLINK] Rename [/Media/completed/Coronation.Street.2016.05.30.Part2.HDTV.X264.720p.mp4] to [/Media/TV Shows/Coronation Street/Season 57/Coronation Street - S57E110 - Mon May 30 2016, Part 2.mp4]
Skipped [/Media/completed/Coronation.Street.2016.05.30.Part1.HDTV.X264.720p.mp4] because [/Media/TV Shows/Coronation Street/Season 57/Coronation Street - S57E110 - Mon May 30 2016, Part 2.mp4] already exists

Any ideas how I might address this?

Thanks!

This is very tricky. If you're lucky, then it'll work if one filename matches one episode title more closely.

Unfortunately, "Part1" doesn't match "Part 1". If you preprocess those files and make sure it says "Part 1" in the filename that there's a good chance that it'll be able to narrow down the correct match:

Code: Select all

[TEST] Rename [Coronation.Street.2016.05.30.Part.1.HDTV.X264.720p.mp4] to [TV Shows/Coronation Street/Season 57/Coronation Street - S57E109 - Mon May 30 2016 Part 1.mp4]
[TEST] Rename [Coronation.Street.2016.05.30.Part.2.HDTV.X264.720p.mp4] to [TV Shows/Coronation Street/Season 57/Coronation Street - S57E110 - Mon May 30 2016 Part 2.mp4]
--filter is always an option that allows you to force a match, but it might be difficult to apply it in this case.
