Tmdb ordering selection

Post by Zunam »

Hello friends! I'm trying to understand if it is possible to select an order variant from Tmdb. For example: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/12609-dra ... ode_groups contains various (Story Arc) orders. When asking FileBot to order by Story Arc, it selects one with 7 groups, presumably the French, LA or Thai variant. This is a deterministic action, meaning it always picks the same one, variant selection isn't random. I'd be interested in using the English Saga, but I'm unsure about how to tell FileBot to specifically use this one.

Any guidance appreciated!

PS - You can see someone else has hit this problem and decided to create a "Test" grouping under the (Development) order so that there is only 1 variant. Yeah it works but, there must be a better way.

Unfortunately, FileBot cannot access arbitrary groups by name. It'd be easy in code but the UI would be tricky since every series is different and we cannot know in advance which orders are available. FileBot will always select the first group of the requested type.

In general, I would recommend always renaming files with the default order SxE numbers.
