The Bridge (2011) v The bridge (2011)

Hi
Why does matching the file "
The.bridge.s03.Episode 9.mp4" match to "
The bridge (2013)" without showing any alternatives) as other matches typically do?
I am actually looking for "
The Bridge (2011)" which us currently airing on the BBC in the UK.
...incidentally, TheTVDB also shows a "
The Bridge" (no year).
Thanks!
James.

You can use
SHIFT-CLICK to force manual input and selection.

cheers, but isn't that episode by episode? How can do that for an entire show?
Why would it choose the 2013 version over the other 2 though?

SHIFT-CLICK TheTVDB to force manual input of either series name or series id.

No idea. Here's what I get though:

So I just had a similar issue where Filebot renamed:
The IT Crowd (2006)\Season 01\...
to
The IT Crowd (2003)\Season 01\...
I cannot even find a (2003) on the TVDB (which was the search I used). Again, there was no option to choose 2006 or 2007 (2006 was what I was looking for).
I cannot work out why this is happening.

Are you using a custom format?
Logs? Screenshots?
Add
{id} to your format so you can see the numeric ID which uniquely identifies the series.

Hi,
Will get that info and come back to you (and will remember that for future).

I am using the following format in this example:

[edit: added the following]
The {ID} is correct, but the year is wrong.
The logs did not show anything when I did the rename.

I'm getting 2006 for that series id. You can press F7 to copy & paste the json metadata so you can see what FileBot sees.
The raw data should look something like this:
Code: Select all
The IT Crowd 1x01.mkv {"@type":"Episode","seriesName":"The IT Crowd","season":1,"episode":1,"title":"Yesterday's Jam","absolute":1,"airdate":{"year":2006,"month":2,"day":3},"id":305884,"seriesInfo":{"database":"TheTVDB","order":"Airdate","language":"en","type":"TV Series","id":79216,"name":"The IT Crowd","aliasNames":[],"certification":"TV-14","startDate":{"year":2006,"month":2,"day":3},"genres":["Comedy"],"network":"Channel 4","rating":8.9,"ratingCount":8110,"runtime":25,"status":"Ended"}}
The
{y} binding would be based on the
"startDate":{"year":2006,"month":2,"day":3} record.

So this is interesting. The full <f7> is below, but here are 2 extracts:
It's showing a (2003) alias...
Code: Select all
"type":"TV Series","id":79216,"name":"The IT Crowd","aliasNames":["IT Crowd","The IT Crowd (2003)"
It's also showing a (2003) start date:
Code: Select all
"startDate":{"year":2003,"month":2,"day":2}
Code: Select all
The IT Crowd (2006)/Season 01/The IT Crowd (2006) - S01E01 - [DVR] [SD] - Yesterday's Jam.ts {"@type":"Episode","seriesName":"The IT Crowd","season":1,"episode":1,"title":"Yesterday's Jam","absolute":1,"airdate":{"year":2006,"month":2,"day":3},"id":305884,"seriesInfo":{"database":"TheTVDB","order":"Airdate","language":"en","type":"TV Series","id":79216,"name":"The IT Crowd","aliasNames":["IT Crowd","The IT Crowd (2003)","Ajťáci","IT-porukka","ITporukka","צוות אי.טי","צוות איטי","Kockafejek","IT 크라우드","Technicy-magicy","Technicymagicy","A Malta das TI","Malta das TI","Компьютерщики","Los Informáticos","IT狂人"],"certification":"TV-14","startDate":{"year":2003,"month":2,"day":2},"genres":["Comedy"],"network":"Channel 4","rating":8.9,"ratingCount":8110,"runtime":25,"status":"Ended"}}

No idea why you might be getting different results.
What does sysinfo say? Are you using the latest version?
Have you tried clearing the cache? Does that make a difference?

Clearing the cache made no difference.
Sysinfo does not seem to highlight anything special:
FileBot:
Version: 4.9.2
Obtained from: Identified Developer
Last Modified: 30/10/2020, 11:04
Signed by: Developer ID Application: Point Planck Limited (EN9ZYER6WW), Developer ID Certification Authority, Apple Root CA

I'll try a total uninstall and reinstall, but is there a way to copy/save my presets and formats first?

1.
You can backup and restore user data like so:
viewtopic.php?t=4205
2.
Uninstall / reinstall is unlikely to make a difference, but worth a try on the off chance that it does make a difference.

well you were right, uninstall/re-install did nothing.
Interestingly, I do get (2006) when matching to theMovieDB, so this appears to be unique to theTVDB but no clue why I would get a different year to you.
Is geographical location a factor (I am in the UK)?

That's a technical possibility, though it would be a most weird one.

You could try running this command on different machines located in different countries
(i.e. use VPN) and compare the results:
Code: Select all
$ filebot -version && filebot -clear-cache && filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q 79216 --format "{startdate} | {episode}"
...
2006-02-03 | The IT Crowd - 1x01 - Yesterday's Jam
...

OK, thats nuts. I:
- Cleared the cache
- Restarted Filebot (just to be sure)
- VPN'd into the US
- ...I got (2006) back.
I then repeated that without vpn:
- Closed VPN (back to UK)
- Cleared cache
- Restarted Filebot
- ...and I still got 2006 back!
...and now "The bridge" is also correctly defaulting to (2011) as well!
So, good news all round, but no clue why.
