Thanks for the logs. I'll look into that.

Depending on your setup, you might be able to use a smart --filter expression to eliminate potential mismatches.

I have this same problem. It's the only show that's failing.

I have one script that runs and don't see a sensible or safe way to filter it, but still match The Walking Dead. I see reports of this issue on the forum going back to the beginning of 2015 (when Fear The Walking Dead came out). I see a few instances where people have reported the problem resolving itself, but this report is very recent.

I'm on the Mac, so I've bought the app from the App Store, but also installed the terminal tool. If I update the app via the App Store, does this also update the terminal tool - or do I need to update that independently? What I'm asking is, will this problem eventually magically fix itself?

1.
The MAS and brew cask packages are completely independent.

2.
Have you tried the age --filter from the Advanced Fine-Tuning section yet?

1. Okay, thanks.

2. Yes, with no success. I tried a few different takes and couldn't get any to work correctly. There's also a chance I could have older episodes waiting to be sorted, and this begins to kill the "one command line script to rule them all" mentality that is so attractive about this solution.

I don't understand how I've read that some people have had this problem solve itself and yet the recommendation is always to apply the filter? If this issue has existed for two years it's got to be worth fixing at a base level?

Thanks again for the app. It's awesome, and this is the only place I'm losing confidence in it.

Are you sure? What did the logs say?

Code: Select all

--filter "age < 7 || !model.any{ it.age < 7 }" --def "ut_label=TV"

Since FTWD and TWD don't air within 7 days of each other you won't have an issue there. The only limitation here is that you can only process TV shows and that you can't process an older season/episode of FTWD / TWD within 7 days of a new release. This unfortunate side-effect can be minimized by setting the age filter to 1 or 2 (assuming you download new episodes within 1-2 days after release).


3.
The online data changes all the time. And FileBot takes things like alternative titles, rating, popularity (and more) into account. "The Walking Dead" and "Fear The Walking Dead" are basically the same thing in all aspects. So seemingly small changes can nudge it towards the wrong match.

[booshtukka]

Okay, I think I'm there. I've got my script to check to see if the file is less than a week old, and then run again for everything to clean up anything else.

This seems to be working okay. Thank you!

If it's something that might be useful to others, feel free to share.

In this case the age filter shouldn't be necessary, but sometimes I guess it is, and it definitely will give you much higher confidence that it's renaming things correctly.

There's also a few shows where release SxE doesn't match TheTVDB SxE at all (e.g. match 2x14 to 3x01) but thanks to the age filter even that'll work without fail (if the timing is right) now as well.
