How to deal with Anime mismatches in the amc script?

I have a file named
Code: Select all
[SubsPlease] Shingeki no Kyojin (The Final Season) - 60 (1080p) [11F4C2A5].mkv
and it appears that the parenthesis around "The Final Season" are causing the file to be incorrectly matched, as shown:
Code: Select all
PS E:\FilebotTest\output> filebot.exe --log FINEST --lang English --action TEST --output "E:\Download" -script fn:amc -non-strict "E:\FilebotTest" --def animeFormat="{n}\Season {s.pad(2)}\{n} - {s00e00}" --mapper AnimeList.TheTVDB

As shown it incorrectly matches the file to
Code: Select all
Shingeki no Kyojin OAD - S00E22.mkv
As opposed to
However when I remove the parentheses around "The Final Season" I get a different result:
Code: Select all
PS E:\FilebotTest\output> filebot.exe --log FINEST --lang English --action TEST --output "E:\Download" -script fn:amc -non-strict "E:\FilebotTest" --def animeFormat="{n}\Season {s.pad(2)}\{n} - {s00e00}" --mapper AnimeList.TheTVDB

Processed 1 file
This gives me the result
Code: Select all
Attack on Titan Final Season - S04E01.mkv
Which is much closer to the desired outcome, albeit with "Final Season" appended to it but at least the Season/Episode combination is correct.
Not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong here but I would appreciate a push in the right direction.

You're mapping between databases multiple times
(sometimes explicitly, sometimes transparently) so it's somewhat difficult to understand how things come together.
If you just want TheTVDB SxE naming and numbering, then that should work just fine by default:
Code: Select all
filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --order Airdate --action TEST --log INFO
[TEST] from [[SubsPlease] Shingeki no Kyojin (The Final Season) - 60 (1080p) [11F4C2A5].mkv] to [Attack on Titan - 4x01 - The Other Side of the Sea.mkv]

Hm, my only concern with this is that the folder I run the filebot on has a number of arbitrary files such as movies, tv shows and anime. With this example I'd presumably have to write a script like this:
Code: Select all
filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --order Airdate --action TEST --log INFO
filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --order Airdate --action copy --log INFO --output "path/to/renamed/files"
This also lacks an excludeList, is there no way to do this with amc? Or am I approaching this wrong?

Possibly, but it's just in the nature of things that things get exponentially more complex if you want to do lots of different things with a single generic algorithm. IMHO, what you're doing in the OP is definitely not an elegant approach.
If you prefer to use the
amc script, and since treating this file as
TV Show (as opposed to Anime which are processed against AniDB and don't have seasons) just works, the solution might be as simple as forcing TV mode for all your
TV Show files. If you can, make sure to organize files into
TV Shows and
Movies folders before processing. Depending on your process, this may not be much extra effort, and may be as simple as selecting a label when adding downloads.

Common Problems
You can
(and should) force Movie / Series / Anime mode or force ignore files via labels, e.g. label as
Movie to force TheMovieDB,
Series to force TheTVDB,
Anime to force AniDB, or
other to ignore all files. Alternatively, standard folder names such as Movies / TV Shows / Anime may also be used to force a specific mode.

Advanced Fine-Tuning
You can
(and should) force Movie / Series / Anime mode by setting
--def ut_label accordingly, and you can further define your own
--filter rules to fine-tune matching to your exact needs, and avoid mismatches. For example, if one show is confused with another due to bad naming or missing data you can simply exclude the bad one, or if you only process recently aired episodes, then you could exclude episodes that have not aired recently from matching.
e.g. if you only process recently aired episodes you can virtually guarantee
100% auto-detection accuracy by adding simple filter rules such as these:
Code: Select all
--filter "age < 5" --def "ut_label=TV"
e.g. if you're a typical user, and find a simple age filter too restrictive, then this slightly augmented age filter rule might be the magic bullet that fixes all your problems:
Code: Select all
--filter "age < 5 || 5 <= model.age.min()" --def "ut_label=TV"
rules are extremely flexible so more
complex scenarios, such as applying certain filters only for certain labels or files, is fully supported.
Alternatively, you could also try using TheTVDB as preferred Anime database:

The
amc script will only fetch the episode list for the top 5 results, which is unfortunately not enough to include "Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season (2022)" when searching for "Shingeki no Kyojin". It's an unfortunate special case. You'll likely need a special call for "Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season (2022)" files, or just use the GUI, because the "one-size-fits-all" solution just doesn't fit in this particular corner case.
If you use
TheTVDB /
TheMovieDB::TV with
Absolute Order instead of
AniDB then the
amc script should work out-of-the-box. The file you have just doesn't match AniDB naming and numbering at all, so if you must use AniDB, then you might have to use the GUI.

Ah, is there any way for it to look for more than the top 5 results? or at least search the full name so that it shows up in the top 5 results?

Sorry, the current behaviour works for everything else, so I'm reluctant to make changes there for one specific corner case that may not generalize, a 1 step forward 3 steps back kinda thing.
You could use a custom query expression I suppose, but that will have to be tailored to your specific use case one way or another:
viewtopic.php?t=12043
e.g. force a specific series:
Code: Select all
$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db AniDB --q 16177 -non-strict --filter "age < 7" --action TEST
[TEST] from [[SubsPlease] Shingeki no Kyojin (The Final Season) - 78 (1080p) [5AFF5292].mkv] to [Attack on Titan The Final Season (2022) - 03 - Two Brothers.mkv]
Unfortunately, using
--q to extract the series name with custom code does not work in this case, because our code would have to infer the 2022 which isn't part of the file name at all:
Code: Select all
$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db AniDB --q "{ fn.after(']').before('-') }" --filter "age < 7" -non-strict --action TEST
Rename episodes using [AniDB] with [Absolute]
Lookup via [Shingeki no Kyojin (The Final Season)]
Fetching episode data for [Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season]
...
Failure (×_×)
The next step would be an external
query.groovy file that would then codify all the rules to conjure up the AniDB series name for any given input file. Possible, probably not worth the effort to write and maintain a custom solution like that.
EDIT:
I'd use
--def ignore=Shingeki.no.Kyojin to just skip all the Shingeki no Kyojin episodes, and then process them separately with the GUI, or custom CLI commands.
e.g. a tailor-made command for each corner case that processes a specific set of files with a specific set of options will make things much easier:
Code: Select all
$ filebot -rename -r /input --file-filter "fn =~ /Shingeki.no.Kyojin/" --db AniDB --q 16177 --filter "age < 7" -non-strict --action TEST
[TEST] from [[SubsPlease] Shingeki no Kyojin (The Final Season) - 78 (1080p) [5AFF5292].mkv] to [Attack on Titan The Final Season (2022) - 03 - Two Brothers.mkv]
So you could take care of Shingeki no Kyojin episodes with a custom call first, move them away, and then call the
amc script in a second step to deal with the generic everything else.

Awesome, thanks. To add to this, would it in any way be possible to have the file hashed (or the hash detected within the title as most anime nowadays have the hash in the title) and lookup on anidb to find the correct match? especially since the hash database on anidb is very active and "rich"

The AniDB HTTP API does not support hash lookup, and no other database supports anything like it. Plus File I/O is extremely slow compared to just using file name / file attributes. It sure does make sense in this particularly tricky corner case, but not so much for pretty much everything else. Your input files not even named / numbered according to AniDB does suggest that [SubsPlease] doesn't care for AniDB, so hashes are less likely to exist in this case. Though someone has probably added them by now.
That said, there surely are dedicated tools
(e.g. adbren.pl) that do exactly that and only that. You could just use one of those tools as a preprocessor to make the file name nice and add AniDB ID, and then use FileBot in a second pass for custom formatting as desired.

yeah I think what i'll do is let amc try first, and if it fails it will send the episode to an unsorted folder where "shoko anime server" will hash and organize the files, as generally hashes get added to anidb within 24 hours of airing however its not instant like filebot would be, this should hopefully make a fairly robust solution.

Also sorry for being a little off topic however, how would I go about downloading only the tvdb poster associated with the anidb matched anime? i have the "artwork=y" option enabled however can't find any further documentation on how to download artwork, is there anything further that's needed

Sorry, there are no fine-grained options for
--def artwork. It's either all or nothing. There's nothing you can configure / turn on / turn off / etc so there's no documentation.
You can use
--apply cover instead though:
