FB select wrong series

Post by onkeljoerg »

Hello experts!
What is going wrong here?
I select the correct series but FB gives me a complete other one

Is this a known bug?

You'll want to use SHIFT-CLICK <database> to force one specific series. Please read Q: How do I fix misidentified files? for details.


:idea: FileBot may internally be considering multiple search queries in parallel and may only prompt you for selection for some of them. In this case you are almost guaranteed to get a mismatch of some kind since S05E08 does not exist in the database. That said, I was unable to reproduce a mismatch with Chicago Fire using following sample file paths:

Code: Select all

FINALSCHNITT/EXPEDITION INS UNBEKANNTE (2015)/Expedition ins Unbekannte - S05E08 - Die Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer.mp4
FINALSCHNITT/EXPEDITION INS UNBEKANNTE (2015)/Expedition ins Unbekannte - S05E09 - Die Kupferrolle und der Wüstenschatz.mp4

:arrow: In this particular case you'll need to use the Match by Episode Title approach (using TheTVDB in German) to get the correct match:

Thank you for the help.
I already have TVDB and German in the preset.
I changed now from "opporunistic" to "strict" and wait for the results.

Edit: the "not existing episode" is a result of a differen counting scheme from the website https://www.wunschliste.de that triggers my STB

Strict Mode will likely not allow a match from File S05E08 to Episode S07E01. But you can run a test and see. Maybe if the episode title is an exact match and long-ish.
