Shaun the Sheep - Specials

[EmulatorNut]

I'm trying to rename a load of Shaun the Sheep specials using TVDB, none are getting picked up correctly, this is the expression I'm using:

Format: Select all

{n} - {episode.special ? 's00e'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t}

It usually works fine but this is really annoying me.

Here is a screen grab of what FileBot thinks the files are.

Matching and Formatting is notably unrelated. Your format has no effect on matching. If the match is incorrect, then the format will generate a file path for that incorrect match.


Matching the Shaun the Sheep / Specials episodes at hand is particularly tricky since the file names you have don't match the episode titles in the database:

Code: Select all

Shaun the Sheep - Special 5 - Championsheeps: The Diving
Shaun the Sheep - Special 6 - Championsheeps: The Fencing
Shaun the Sheep - Special 7 - Championsheeps: The Gymnastics
Shaun the Sheep - Special 8 - Championsheeps: The Archery
Shaun the Sheep - Special 9 - Championsheeps: The Weightlifting
Shaun the Sheep - Special 10 - Championsheeps: The Steeplechase
Shaun the Sheep - Special 11 - Championsheeps: The Beach Volleyball
Shaun the Sheep - Special 12 - Championsheeps: The Hockey
Shaun the Sheep - Special 13 - Championsheeps: The Swimming
Shaun the Sheep - Special 14 - Championsheeps: The 100 Metre Dash
Shaun the Sheep - Special 15 - Championsheeps: The BMX

Manual Matching is always an option. The formatting / renaming is automatic, but you may need to take care of the matching yourself one way or another, i.e. aligning files and episodes manually.





EDIT:

In this particular case you can be smart about it by first narrowing down the options and then matching files against those pre-selected options only, i.e. match files against Championsheeps episodes specifically:



Here's command-line edition of the approach illustrated in the video tutorial above:
