Allow user hints for TMDB search when file is ambiguos

Post by WhatTimeDayPlace »

Sometimes FileBot is not sure which film it is dealing with and prompts the user to decide.

Unfortunately those options are also sometimes not helpful.

To improve the situation it would be great if users could call up a search dialog that allows basic inputs like parts of the file name and year (like Plex offers to correct assignations), maybe even director or actors to help identify the correct film .

p. s.: I would like to provide screenshots, but found no way other than link to online images. Sorry.

File paths are most helpful so we can reproduce the issue ourselves, see what you see, and then take it from there.

Generally, FileBot will ask you to manually enter the movie name / year, but only as a last resort. So if the options given don't work, then just select nothing, to make FileBot make you do a manual search.
