Series Mappings

Post by vengent »

I saw a mention in the tips and tricks section about series mappings http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=360

But I can't find that file in my program files filebot folder. Is it possible to manually add hints to this file for easier detection?

I'm hoping to do this without scripts or command line options.

Couple of tv shows i'm watching now always prompt for me to pick from numerous options, i'd like to add these so it auto chooses the intended ones.

The two examples are;

Once Upon a Time (2011) http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=248835&lid=17

Revenge http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=248837&lid=7

Thanks for any help.

I manage these lists globally. In your case it won't help though, the series-mappings helps you get more options, it just maps one search query (that may not be in the database) to another (that is in the database).

In your case the correct option is among the possible options, so you'd need to exclude options, which is not possible in the GUI. Especially with things like picking "Once Upon a Time" over "Once Upon a Time (2011)" even though the filename is just "Once Upon a Time" requires manual confirmation.

You can always run some regex search & replace program to pre-process the names (i'm sure there is GUI tools but filebot has scripts for that you can but into a bat file). If the filename already says Once Upon a Time (2011) it'll probably not ask you to confirm.

So no easy way to make it stop prompting without pre-processing? (imo kind of defeats the point).

Love the software though, thanks!
