Priority of PROPER with --conflict auto

[sentience]

I'm running filebot with this command:

Code: Select all

filebot -script 'fn:amc' /volume1/NAS/Downloads/complete/tv --output '/volume1/NAS/iTunes Library' --action duplicate -non-strict --order Airdate --conflict auto --lang en --def 'ut_label=TV' 'music=y' 'unsorted=y' 'skipExtract=y' 'emby=localhost:******' 'pushover=******:******' 'seriesFormat=TV Shows/{n}/{episode.special ? '\''Specials'\'' : '\''Season '\''+s}/{n} - {episode.special ? '\''S00E'\''+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'\''/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart('\'', Part $1'\'')}{'\''.'\''+lang}' 'excludeList=filebot_amc.excludes' --apply refresh --log all --log-file '/usr/local/filebot-node/data/filebot.log'

According to this thread, --conflict auto should cause PROPER releases to replace existing files; however, that's not the behaviour I'm seeing. From my task's output:

Code: Select all

Skipped [/volume1/NAS/Downloads/complete/tv/show_name.2020.06.25.episode_name.PROPER.1080p.release_tags/show_name.2020.06.25.episode_name.1080p.release_tags.mkv] because [/volume1/NAS/iTunes Library/TV Shows/Show Name/Season 1/Show Name - S01E123 - Episode Name.mkv] already exists

Is there a bug here?

--conflict auto is primarily based on media information, such as bitrate, file size, etc. As such PROPER has no effect, unless the new PROPER release does have higher bitrate, better video resolution, etc.

--conflict override is more suitable for use cases where you simply want the most recently downloaded version.
