Force "Anne with an E" via --filter

[phibins]

I have a show with the file name "anne.s01e01" (just for example) which get mismatched.

I want to force it to be matched with the show "Anne with an E".

How do i accomplish this.

Is it --filter (n != 'anne' || n == 'anne with an e')?

Where can i find information on the syntax?

I thought the || means "OR" and that '!=' means "NOT-EQUAL", but i have another filter that sets American Dad to always be S16 that looks like this:

(n != 'American Dad!' || s == 16)

So it looks like i might not be understanding the syntax for the filters here.. and assistance appriciated.

The example you have given works out of the box:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename anne.s01e01.mkv --db TheTVDB --action TEST -non-strict --log INFO
[TEST] from [anne.s01e01.mkv] to [Anne with an E - 1x01 - Your Will Shall Decide Your Destiny.mkv]

Please just post the specific file path you have trouble with, so I can give you a specific solution. Discussing --filter in a context where it's not necessary, won't be instructive to you or other users who may stumble upon this thread.

For the sake of conversation, a --filter for this particular TV show would look like this:

Code: Select all

--filter "n == 'Anne with an E'"

e.g.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename anne.s01e01.mkv --db TheTVDB --action TEST -non-strict --log INFO --filter "n == 'Anne with an E'"
[TEST] from [anne.s01e01.mkv] to [Anne with an E - 1x01 - Your Will Shall Decide Your Destiny.mkv]

3.
Let's consider an example that really doesn't work:

Code: Select all

A100 ➔ Anne with an E 1x01

Naturally, this doesn't work, because FileBot can't figure out which show it might be:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename A100.mkv --db TheTVDB --action TEST -non-strict --log INFO
Failed to detect query for files: [A100.mkv]
Failed to match files to episode data

Adding --q 'Anne with an E' will fix that, bit it's still not working:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename A100.mkv --db TheTVDB --action TEST -non-strict --log INFO  --q 'Anne with an E'
[TEST] from [A100.mkv] to [Anne with an E - 3x04 - A Hope of Meeting You in Another World.mkv]

Now we use --filter to narrow down which Episode objects are allowed for matching:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename A100.mkv --db TheTVDB --action TEST -non-strict --log INFO  --q 'Anne with an E' --filter 'absolute == 1'
[TEST] from [A100.mkv] to [Anne with an E - 1x01 - Your Will Shall Decide Your Destiny.mkv]

Please just post the specific file path you have trouble with, so I can give you a specific solution. Discussing --filter in a context where it's not necessary, won't be instructive to you or other users who may stumble upon this thread.

Thanks as always for your assistant RedNoah. Also let me know if I should make a new topic for this to keep everything uncluttered.

I see that the test function works for these. Which is why i am wondering why I got the following results (from the Historty XML):

Code: Select all

    </sequence>

using the following command:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc %inDir% --log ALL --output %outDir% --def minLengthMS=0 --action move --conflict auto -non-strict --filter \"(n != \'American Dad!\' || s == 16)\" --log-file amc.log --def clean=y music=y subtitles=en musicFormat=\"{plex}\" movieFormat="{plex}\" seriesFormat=\"{plex}\" minFileSize=4

And excuse the big `--log ALL` dump:

IDK. Make sure you keep the logs so we can investigate next time it happens.


I'm using the latest revision. Chances are, the latest revision just work betters.

[rednoah]

Note that since the correct show isn't even considered in the first place, it can't work:

Code: Select all

Fetching episode data for [Mother (TR)]
Fetching episode data for [Anne+]
Fetching episode data for [Anone]
Fetching episode data for [Annedroids]
Fetching episode data for [Anne & Jake]

In strict mode, it would fail. In non-strict mode, it'll pick the "best result" which is still utterly wrong in absence of the correction result being an option. --filter doesn't do anything here, since that simply removes Episode objects from consideration, but can't add additional episode lists into consideration.

I edited the post above to include the --log ALL output.

I guess thats a good idea. I am on 4.8.5 tho...

I'll just chalk this up to a random glitch if you dont have any idea of why that happened.

Thanks again.

[rednoah]

There's weekly builds you can try:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1609

The next release is scheduled for October, so the latest revision contains many improvements that were added since the previous release half a year ago.

[phibins]

Thank you, I will use the weekly.
