FileBot cannot find some subtitles?

[zhyp]

Hey, love filebot, and recently I've been tinkering with some scripts to automate my script even more.
Here's my script: https://github.com/zhyph/random-scripts ... _files.ps1 (not pretty at all)
So far I only added some extra calls to fn:suball for some fuzzy search since I wanted to search for “pob” subtitles, and they're kinda hard to find.
All I wanted is some insights if I'm using filebot correctly on all occasions, and to sane a problem that I've been having recently.

I'll use “The Boondocks” for example, as you can see on https://www.opensubtitles.org/pb/ssearc ... ovie-21545, all the episodes on season 3 have subtitles, but while trying to match with: “filebot -script fn:suball "E:\Media\TV Shows\The Boondocks {tmdb-2604}\Season 03\" --lang pob -non-strict”, the majority of the episodes are ignored,
this being the output:

Code: Select all

Done ?(?????)?

Is there a specify reason for this behavior? Thanks

The difference is the subtitle file name.


This is a good one and matches your file name fairly closely:

Code: Select all

the.boondocks.s03e01.dvdrip.xvid-nodlabs-por.txt

This is a bad name and does not match your file names well:

Code: Select all

15. It's Goin' Down-por.srt

You can help improve things for the next guy buy manually downloading the missing subtitles, and then dropping all the video files and subtitle files onto the upload button to upload all subtitles again with FileBot to add the missing video-to-subtitle hash links.

Oh, I didn't know about that, I'll be downloading all the available subtitles manually and adding them if that helps, thanks for letting me know.
And about my script, what do you think about it? Is it being used as intended? (I must've created the repo as private by accident, now it's public)
P.S. Sorry for doing multiple questions in one post, I feel like I overdid it.

The link posted above doesn't work so I didn't look at it.

Make sure to subtitles are in sync before adding video hashes to the database. See Exact VS Fuzzy Subtitle Search for details on how "lookup by hash" works.

The repo was private by accident, my bad, now you can see it.

[rednoah]

Looks good. I see no issues at a glance. For new episodes it might make sense to wait a few days for good subtitles to become available.

Makes sense, thank you for help, and again, great job at filebot, amazing work.
