FileBot

Hello,

I am using filebot via command line and I am using the following script:

filebot -script fn:amc

There are a few TV shows that I feed into filebot that give it some trouble when using the cmd line and I wanted to know if there is a way to set up a list of alternatives so that it will be able to get the renaming correct. For example the TV show Web Therapy has both Web Therapy and Web Therapy (2011) as possible hits. Can I alter the command line so that I include these variations or can I create a file that filebot can look at to help it pick the correct one? Maybe there is another work around that someone else is using that I don't know of.

Thanks

You can do that via --filter expression

Of course. That makes sense. Would you be able to give me an example of how it could be constructed? Here is an example of where it might be needed.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Aqua Unit Patrol Squad
Aqua Teen Show Show

Are all titles for the same show. On thetvdb it is id=77120

Thanks again for the support.

Play with it, it works different than you think.

You can't override series detection. But after series detection the --filter options give you a very generic way to select what should be used for matching.

Send me logs of what's not working, and I can either debug it, or show you how to make it work. I always need the logs / file paths.

Thanks. I'll look around for examples of the --filter option

This should give you the general idea:
