Add Exclude Terms to Improve Movie / Series Auto-Detection

[rednoah]

FileBot tries determine the series/movie name from the files in various ways. One of these methods works by trying to filter out the series/movie name from the filename. To help with that and various other aspects that try to make sense of file/folder structures there's a blacklist of text patterns that are known to be just clutter/garbage/noise that can and should be ignored.

If auto-detection is thrown off due to some garbage in the filename like website/tracker names, folder names, categories, language tags, etc just post it here and I'll add to the list.

The list of blacklisted text patterns is maintained here:
https://github.com/filebot/data/blob/master/query-excludes.txt


FileBot will update its local cache from the data online once a week.

Shouldn't those be considered release groups?

I think that GUIDs need to be blacklisted.
I have a post processing script for Plex DVR that uses a random GUID for temporary folders and I noticed that on occasion filebot will use the GUID and not the filename for matching and obviously fail.
I think this is an acceptable regex

Code: Select all

/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[1-5][0-9a-f]{3}-[89ab][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i

Good catch. Please include an example file path for testing, not just the pattern.
