Filebot finds correct movie but doesn't use the correct language
Posted: 16 Jan 2023, 19:47
Hi there,
I've been using Filebot for over half a decade without any problems. Unfortunately recently my presets do not work as intended anymore. My Movie Preset looks like this:
This used to pick up anything and do the work correctly, but recently all or most of the renamed files are in English, although I specifically chose German.
I figured, that depending on what the original file is named, it will change the language. As an example here are a couple of files that I wanted to rename:
As you can see, the last one (Airplane from 1980) is correctly renamed to the official German title, while the other three (the naked gun movies) are renamed to the official English titles.
I realized, that when the Airplane file was named "airplane-1080p" it would also pick up the english name. Somehow this is fixed by changing the file name beforehand.
The movies are each in a folder that contains the entire (german) name of the movie. (e.g. "Die.nackte.Kanone.1988.German.1080p.BluRay.x264")
While writing this post, I tried something else: I changed the "d-nk1" title to "nk1" and it finally chooses the correct German title.
What's up with that? How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot for your help!
