Classic movie naming problems

Post by nickodemos »

Image

Since I deal mainly with older movies FileBot tends to not choose the titles when it offers a selection. As a work around, does not always work, I put the IMDB number for the movie as the title (seen above).

Is there a way that you can add a possible a spot within this popup for adding the IMDB or TVDB number for a direct link for naming? It would go a long way instead of having to rename the file itself.

What's the original file name that didn't work well?
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1868


2.
I don't see the point of typing IDs, because you'd have to search Google by name to find the ID first anyway. Wouldn't it make more sense to search by name from FileBot right away?

If the series / movie is not auto-detected correctly you can SHIFT-CLICK Image the database to force manual input and selection of the series or movie.

Here is another set.

I see! This is useful. All this files work out of the box for me, doesn't even ask for confirmation.

Further testing revealed that Reseed wasn't on the blacklist yet, and was thus considered potentially a movie folder, and somehow caused things not working out as expected:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=359

I'll add it to the list.


:arrow: In the meanwhile, just rename Reseed to Complete, and then it'll just work.

Changing the folder to "Complete" only worked on one file.

Trying to add each movie to it's own folder results.


Code: Select all

Dare I Weep, Dare I Mourn (1966)(VHSRip)\Dare I Weep, Dare I Mourn (1966)(VHSRip).avi	{"@type":"Movie","year":2009,"imdbId":1241316,"tmdbId":32124,"language":"en","id":32124,"name":"Dare","aliasNames":[]}

Eyes.of.Texas.(1948)(DVDRip)\Eyes.of.Texas.(1948)(DVDRip).avi	{"@type":"Movie","year":1948,"imdbId":40333,"tmdbId":53112,"language":"en","id":53112,"name":"Eyes of Texas","aliasNames":[]}

Follow.the.Boys.(1944)\Follow.the.Boys.(1944).avi	{"@type":"Movie","year":1944,"imdbId":36832,"tmdbId":27628,"language":"en","id":27628,"name":"Follow the Boys","aliasNames":[]}

Giorgi.Saakadze.1943.DVDRip.XviD\Giorgi.Saakadze.1943.DVDRip.XviD.avi	{"@type":"Movie","year":1942,"imdbId":34781,"tmdbId":283968,"language":"en","id":283968,"name":"Giorgi Saakadze","aliasNames":[]}
Vast improvement in getting a correct naming solution while in a folder even though all I did was take the file name and name the folder with it.

Sadly most of the files I need help renaming are loose files and not in folders yet.

What version of FileBot are you using?

2.
The first one is off, because TheMovieDB doesn't seem to have an entry for this particular movie in the first place:
https://www.themoviedb.org/

:idea: I couldn't find it anyway. Maybe it's listed with a different name. If it's really not there, then maybe you could add it though.

Works for the other 3 though:

Currently doing the Shift-Click and this is working out. I will post back if anything else might arise.
