Anidb "Other" matching

[Ezequiel8914]

Hi,
Is there a way for filebot to match the entries of type "Other" in AniDB ?
My use case is this type of anime https://anidb.net/anime/13473 with the first release being a movie but then it's being aired as individual episode.

Shell: Select all

filebot -list --db AniDB --q 13473

Console Output: Select all

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (2019) - 01 - Movie 1
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (2019) - 02 - Movie 2
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (2019) - 03 - Movie 3

I found this topic from a few years ago mentioning this case viewtopic.php?t=6283 and filebot was unable to do it back then. Did it change since then ?

Properties: Select all

FileBot 5.2.0 (r10714) / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 17.0.16

Movie-type Anime are excluded from search, but if manually specify the ID then you can make it work. That works for -rename just as it does for -list commands:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db AniDB --q 13473 -non-strict --log INFO --action TEST
[TEST] from [1.mkv] to [Legend of the Galactic Heroes Die Neue These (2019) - 01 - Movie 1.mkv]
[TEST] from [2.mkv] to [Legend of the Galactic Heroes Die Neue These (2019) - 02 - Movie 2.mkv]
[TEST] from [3.mkv] to [Legend of the Galactic Heroes Die Neue These (2019) - 03 - Movie 3.mkv]

Except I don't want to rename with the movies, I'd like to use the individual episodes (Other 1 to 12) which are not being returned by Filebot at the moment.

I see. Unfortunately, Other type episode list items are ignored as they usually interfere with regular episode matching. There is indeed no way to list or match these items from the list to your files.



You could use TMDB and match your files to The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These: Season 2 - Stellar War (2019) instead:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict --q 74018 --filter "s == 2" --format "{plex.id}" --action TEST --log INFO
[TEST] from [1 Armistar.mkv] to [TV Shows/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These {tmdb-74018}/Season 02/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These - S02E01 - Armistar.mkv]
[TEST] from [2 Demise of the Emperor.mkv] to [TV Shows/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These {tmdb-74018}/Season 02/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These - S02E02 - Demise of the Emperor.mkv]
[TEST] from [3 Before the Storm.mkv] to [TV Shows/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These {tmdb-74018}/Season 02/The Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These - S02E03 - Before the Storm.mkv]

Thank you, it's probably what I'm going to do.
