Hi,
maybe i am just stupid and over look something Obvious but is there a way to get Filebot to lookupa file as MOVIE mode in Anidb
For example: Thunderbolt Fantasy - Seiyuu Genka
Exists In the anidb
https://anidb.net/anime/14786
Yet it seems that I cant get a file to that matched Database entry matched?
I had several times troubles to get ANIDB to Hand out a movie title,
Especially with single file movies not with movie series or such.
Most of the times , i went to an Other source or used something else and edited it by hand,..
best Regards Eye

FileBot does not support AniDB in regards to Movie Mode. TheMovieDB is generally recommended for matching Movie type files.
However, if you manually retrieve the "episode data" by numeric id, then you might be able to make it work accidentally:

Cool, The database identifier workaround seems to work with some of my problems at least
Sadly TheMovieDB doe snot have a that well sorted anime wise

Lookup-by-Numeric-ID is generally supported for both movie queries and series queries. Wherever you can enter a series / movie as search query, you can also enter a 5+ digit number instead for direct lookup by ID.

This is no longer working, I can't make episodes appear in films by entering the anidb ID, please make this work again, all my anime films were named like that in the past.

Movie type Anime were never supported via search, i.e. search-by-name would never find them. The ID lookup worked unofficially because FileBot just used to use the given ID as-is to fetch the series information / episode list without any additional checks, like with any other AniDB series. That works because movies / series are the same on AniDB. An AniDB movie - for all accounts and purposes - is just another series that happens to have only a single 01 episode.
However, newer versions of FileBot do check, and reject such episode listings when the series is a Movie type. Because some AniDB movies
(that are not yet so tagged) do occasionally make it into the search index and that can lead to mismatches.
You can disable this restriction like so:
Shell: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.AniDB.movie=true

FileBot r10218 and higher will try to detect if you're doing a manual lookup, and disable sanity checks if so.
Anime movies not possible using AniDB
