"Stephen Colbert" vs "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"

[miggy]

Hello,

The following script fails to match. My logs show that the same input used to work. (The script changed slightly only to support the Apr 28 changes.) I also tried the UI with TVDB, and got the same results, ruling out the db as the issue. The version is 5.0.3 and also 5.1.

Script:

Code: Select all

-script fn:amc --output "D:\\Finished DLs" --action move --conflict index -non-strict "D:\\Finished DLs\\TV" --log-file "D:\\Finished DLs\\amc_TV.log"  --def skipExtract=y clean=y seriesFormat="{plex}"

Latest Log:

Back when it worked:

Is it perhaps this difference?:

Code: Select all

Lookup via [] [Stephen Colbert]

vs

Code: Select all

Lookup via [stephen colbert]

Thanks in advance!

You seem to be comparing to different files / episodes at two different times. The difference is most likely the information available at the time.


Interpreting "Stephen Colbert" as "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" could certainly be an issue though. That series name alias may or may not exist in the database, and may or may not have been added / removed at certain points in time. I'll look into it.


Notably, the GUI works, though it does ask to confirm the correct Stephen Colbert show, since both of them are Stephen Colbert shows, one starts with "Stephen Colbert" in the alias name, the other one ends with "Stephen Colbert" in the main title:



"Stephen Colbert" might be a prime candidate for selecting and processing separately. See How do I process specific files with specific command-line options? for details.




EDIT:

I've added "Stephen Colbert" as alias name so it might work better in the future:

EDIT 2:

The change is most likely a change in weights that prevent "ALF: The Animated Series" vs "Star Trek: The Animated Series" (0.71 similarity) mismatches but also prevent "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" vs "Stephen Colbert" (0.61 similarity) seemingly-dissimilar-but-actually-correct matches. The solution is nevertheless to make FileBot aware of the "Stephen Colbert" alias name.

Thanks for the quick response.

Oddly, neither TVDB nor TMDB was giving the confirmation prompt in the UI yesterday. Both are now. So that is progress...

However, after excluding the wrong options, the script is still failing to match "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert".

Code: Select all

-script fn:amc --filter "!(n in lines('D:\\Finished DLs\\excludedTV.txt'))" --output "D:\Finished DLs" --action move --conflict index -non-strict "D:\Finished DLs\TV" --log-file "D:\Finished DLs\amc_TV.log"  --def skipExtract=y clean=y seriesFormat="{plex}"

It seems like the real match is not even an option from the CL...

Thanks!

Try again a week later. It'll work once the newly added alias name trickles down.

Alternatively, you can always use --q to force the series name or series ID.

I'll be patient and wait....thanks!

In the meantime, I will check out the file-specific options. The challenge is that I would have to start running a series of scripts rather than just one. Perhaps not such a big deal, but over time could end up running many different scripts to process these edge cases. ...I think I'll just be patient Thanks again!!

Looks like the alias has taken effect.

Thanks for the support!

Cheers! Thank your reporting back!
