Causes of movies not being retrieved

Just wondering what are the possible causes that a movie in
www.themoviedb.org cannot be retrieved by filebot?
Despite naming the file and folder exactly as written on themoviedb.org I am unable to retrieve data from these two movies:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/11402- ... uage=en-US
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/622230 ... uage=en-US
Thanks

I don't know. I'll need the file path the very least to make an educated guess.
Please read
How to Request Help.
EDIT:
I tried a few search queries for testing...
This works:
This works too:
This search query doesn't work correctly, and TheMovieDB Search API yields 0 results:
I'll look into it, but not much I can do, because FileBot fundamentally ignores ' in all cleanup operations, and this is required for some database to work correctly, so a quick fix is tricky without randomly breaking other things. The easiest solution is to add "The Belles of St. Trinians" as alias title.
EDIT 2:
The other one just doesn't work for some other reason. Not even an exact search query works correctly:
Code: Select all
LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed By Venom
Presumably, that one might just be too new and hasn't been indexed by the Search API yet, or maybe it's not indexed because it's not really a movie. There might be server-side filters that exclude the clutter.

in my test filename "The Belles of St. Trinian's" does this search (opportunistic mode)
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/mov ... t+trinians
and it refuses to do any search in strict mode
ONLY if the year is in the filename it will work again
works... so just remove after the ' in the lookup / search but use it internally later to compare filepath to results
Code: Select all
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=The+Belles+of+St+Trinian
but also with
works... so ?
Code: Select all
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=LEGO+Marvel+Spider-Man+Vexed+By+Venom

1.
Yep, I added the necessary alternative title yesterday, so that's probably why it works now:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/11402- ... uage=en-US

Oh. Then it should work...
Looks like FileBot does find it, but ignored
(and doesn't cache) the result because the
release_date / year basic information had been missing:
Code: Select all
Missing data: release_date => {popularity=0.62, id=622230, video=false, vote_count=1, vote_average=4, title=LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed By Venom, release_date=, original_language=en, original_title=LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed By Venom, genre_ids=[Ljava.lang.Object;@43fafb4d, backdrop_path=null, adult=false, overview=Vexed by Venom feature the voices of Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane. The special focuses on high-tech teft and finds Spider-Man trading wits with Green Goblin and Venom as the villains plan to destroy New York City., poster_path=/gTo2r8nNU3ZYAS6DqdeSp1VEqkq.jpg}
I've added the missing information:

I ended up using Fetch Data with key word "Belles" and the movie finally listed. Did not work for the LEGO movie though using key word "vixen". However, since your fix that one now retrieves with no issues.
So thanks rednoah and Kim for your help!
FYI. I also had issues with The Bishop's Wife (1947). Again I used Fetch Data with keyword "Bishop" and the movie was listed. Due to your fix on the Lego movie, I wonder if it does not retrieve due to the fact that this movie has a premiere release year of 1947 but a theatrical release year of 1948.

Just add an alias with ' removed. That'll make TheMovieDB search work better since it's seemingly based on word matches:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/19490- ... uage=en-US

FYI: A general search problem on themoviedb.org with / without ' (apostrophe) is now fixed
