Anime coming up as "Episode Numbers"

[TheFalleN]

This has been going on for awhile now, I'm not sure what the cause of this is but this didn't usually happen before.

When I use Filebot for Anime, Using AniDB I go to rename using episode rename again for anime, But what comes up is not the episode titles, but the series name and the episode number.

So it appears like this:

Code: Select all

Bloodivores - Episode 6
Bloodivores - Episode 7
Dragon Ball Super - Episode 66
Brave Witches - Episode 5
Sangatsu No Lion - Episode 6

It will also mismatch anime, I mean that it will put something like "Dragon Ball Super 18 , 19" for the anime "Bubuki Buranki". This never used to happen, Also sometimes this problem clears itself up but after waiting a week it has not, But this problem has been going on for well more than a week. This problem seemed to have started when I updated to Filebot Version 4.7.2.

I installed using the Windows Installer

I am using the latest version of Filebot. My Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment is 1.8.0_111

I am using:

• Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition
  Java 8 Update 11
  Java 8 Update 11 (64 Bit)
  Java SE Development Kit 8 Update 11
  Java SE Development Kit 8 Update 11 (64 Bit)

I have no logs to give because there are none that show this problem.

What's your episode format expression?

2.
Post filenames as text please.

3.
If you process multiple files in one batch then they can affect each other.

If one file can't be identified then information from another file may flow over.

If you use strict mode or process only one series at at time then behaviour may be different.

I'm using Plex as the format expression.

• [HorribleSubs] Bloodivores - 06 [1080p]
  [HorribleSubs] Bloodivores - 07 [1080p]
  [AnimeRG] Dragon Ball Super - 066 [1080p] [Multi-Sub] [x265] [pseudo]
  [HorribleSubs] Bubuki Buranki - 18 [1080p]
  [HorribleSubs] Bubuki Buranki - 19 [1080p]

For processing multiple files in a batch, It never used to have an error like this, At least I haven't encountered that to my knowledge when using the past versions of Filebot.

I am using opportunistic mode.

However unlikely it may be, it's the achilles heel of Opportunistic matching, because it'll pick something, anything, if it's not sure. It just so happens that FileBot (and by extension you) is getting lucky most of the time even though it's a gamble every time.

As far as FileBot knows, Babuki Buranki has 12 episodes, so if you throw Episode 18 at it, Opportunistic mode will pick the next best Episode 18 while Strict mode would just ignore the file altogether:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --db AniDB --q "Babuki Buranki" | tail -n 1
BBK/BRNK - 12 - The Boy from Treasure Island

2.
The episode titles haven't been entered yet:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --db AniDB --q "Bloodivores" --format "{plex}" | tail -n 5
Anime/Bloodivores/Bloodivores - 08 - Episode 8
Anime/Bloodivores/Bloodivores - 09 - Episode 9
Anime/Bloodivores/Bloodivores - 10 - Episode 10
Anime/Bloodivores/Bloodivores - 11 - Episode 11
Anime/Bloodivores/Bloodivores - 12 - Episode 12

Congratulations! You are now the metadata maintainer for https://anidb.net/a12372 and responsible for adding the missing data in a timely manner.

For point 1. Should I be using Strict mode? I've always used opportunistic.

For point number 2, I only have the latest episodes released, So that means I only have up to episode 7. What you listed was Episodes 8-12, Which have not been released yet.

What I have problems is that Episode 7 for Bloodivores and other anime come up at "Episode - x" When Anidb shows that they have the episodes in question on file on their website. But Filebot does not see the metadata for some reason.

1.
Strict mode will ignore bad files, which may or may not work well for you depending on how your files are named. You won't know until you try. It'll work better for well-named files but it'll work worse for badly-named files.


2.
Cache. What you see on the website may be ahead of the data that FileBot from AniDB.

Run -list (or use Episodes panel) to see what FileBot sees:

Code: Select all

filebot -list --db AniDB --q "Bloodivores"

Data must be entered well in advance (a week would be good) and not a day or two after the airdate for things to just work reliably.
