Filebot misidentifying why should be an easy match

[xxbiohazrdxx]

Not sure what's going on here. For some reason the S03 gets completely ignored and it matches to S06. The same thing happens with S03E11, the rest of the series matched correctly without any issue. Using TVDB and confirmed that S03E08 and E11 are both listed there for the show.

I can't reproduce the issue in either GUI or CLI:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "Shameless (US)" --db thetvdb -non-strict --action test

Code: Select all

Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [Shameless US, shameless]
Fetching episode data for [Shameless (US)]

Do you get the correct episode data if you use the Episodes panel to have a look at the episode data that FileBot sees?


3.
Please check if the file is already tagged with incorrect metadata. Go to Filter panel, drop in the files, and then go to the Attributes tab to see which file is associated with what episode information.

Looks like CLI gets it right, GUI gets it wrong for me.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "Z:\TV\Shameless (US)\Season 03\S03E08.mkv" --db thetvdb -non-strict --action test
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]

Processed 1 files

Episodes tab looks good:


I don't see any metadata for the two problem files in Attributes

[rednoah]

You could try to narrow down the problem so I can reproduce it?

e.g. try creating a new empty file named "Shameless (US) S03E08.mkv" on your Desktop and see if that works in the GUI, and if it does, try to narrow down what's different from your other scenario by changing things step my step to make the case more and more similar to see at which step it stops working.

This is interesting. If I let the CLI go ahead and rename...

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "Z:\Unsorted Downloads\Files\Shameless (US)\Season 03" --db thetvdb -non-strict
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [Shameless (US)]

Then pull the files into the GUI, it still gets them wrong, but misidentifies them in a different way.



Previously FileBot was identifying them as S06E08 and getting the name correct for that season. Now its identifying them as S05E08 and getting the correct name (from S03) but a name that is wrong for the season it claims they are in (S05)

Empty txt file on the Desktop with the extension changed to MKV



CLI gets it right

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "~\Desktop\Shameless (US) - S03E08.mkv" --db thetvdb -non-strict --action test

Deleted my presets in the GUI to make sure it wasn't a weird setting in there that might be causing it, same issue.

your GUI is set to DVD order

1.
That might explain the issue. Make sure you're using Airdate Order, and not DVD Order, which might be different (see Episodes panel for details).

I can reproduce the OP when forcing FileBot to interpret files in DVD order:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "Shameless (US)" --q "Shameless (US)" --order DVD --db thetvdb -non-strict --action test

Code: Select all

Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Fetching episode data for [Shameless (US)]
[TEST] from [Shameless (US)/Season 03/Shameless (US) - S03E08.mp4] to [Shameless (US)/Season 03/Shameless (US) - 6x08 - Be a Good Boy. Come for Grandma.mp4]

If you expect Airdate Order, please make sure to set FileBot to use Airdate Order in the Preferences:

[xxbiohazrdxx]

Yep, looks like its a TVDB issue with the DVD order! Thanks for the help.
