Picking right series, Filebot grabs the wrong one

[Runescope]

So I'm trying to rename all the episodes from 'Transformers Prime Beast Hunters' and that's the series I pick using TVRage, but Filebot won't use it, it just uses 'Transformers'

I did a search on forcing how to pick a series name, but none of it makes any sense to me. Could someone explain it to me simply?

What's the filenames?

Even in fully automated mode using TheTVDB data that doesn't even match exactly, it'll still work:

Code: Select all

Parameter: ut_kind = multi
Parameter: ut_dir = D:\testdata\AMC-TEST
Parameter: ut_title = AMC-TEST
Input: D:\testdata\AMC-TEST\Transformers Prime Beast Hunters s01e01.avi

Here are the filenames:

What is strange is that under the Episodes search, it does return the proper series. I'm not understanding what the problem is.

Well, short answer: file don't match what's in the database. Your files are called "Transformers Prime" but on TV Rage it's "Transformers Prime Best Hunters".

That'll result in two searchs for each of those terms. The search "Transformers" auto-select the show of the same name, the search for "Transformers Prime" doesn't match anything so it'll ask you. So FileBot will continue to match with episode data of both of these shows. Basically it's thinking "Transformers Prime" matches better with "Transformers".

Solution:

(A) SHIFT-click datasource to force manually input, select "Transformers Prime Best Hunters". Now it'll really only work with episode data of that one show and it'll work.

(B) Use TheTVDB. On there series name matches your files so it'll naturally match everything correctly.

Okay, the first one worked! Thanks! I'll watch for that next time.
