:?: What does "not named correctly" mean exactly? You mean to say that auto-detection does not work correctly? Can you provide a screenshot that shows the problem?


:idea: I have created sample files with the file names above and all, and it all looks good to me, which is unsurprising since the [tmdbid-12345] pattern forces the correct movie:

Alright, I've created a new folder with empty test files:

Code: Select all

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004).mkv
Bad Man’s River (1971).mkv
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987).mkv
Cars (2011).mkv
Catch Us If You Can (1965).mkv
Child's Play 2 (1990).mkv
Colditz (2005).mkv
HHhH (2017).mkv
Iron Man 2 (2010).mkv
Iron Man 3 (2013).mkv
Jumanji Welcome to The Jungle (2017).mkv
Kidnapped (1960).mkv
Kylie's Golden Tour (2019).mkv
Red White And Zero (1967).mkv
Ringo Starr And His All Starr Band Live At The Greek Theater (2019).mkv
Small Town Hero (2019).mkv
The Bishop's Wife (1947).mkv
The Hangover Part II (2011).mkv
The Hunger Games - Catching Fire (2013).mkv
The Hunger Games - Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015).mkv
The Lizzie Mcguire Movie (2003).mkv
The Outpost (2019).mkv
Till We Meet Again (2016).mkv


And this is what I get:

:idea: I had to enter Kylie Minogue - The Golden Tour manually when prompted. That's because the file name is Kylie's Golden Tour and that's quite a bit different from the actual movie name.



:arrow: You could try to recreate the same test case with newly created empty files in a new empty folder, just to confirm that you get the same results as me under the same condition. If that is confirmed, then you can try to systematically narrow down step-by-step whats different about the files you have. The matches I see in your screenshot are very strange indeed. I have no idea how that can happen. My best guess is some misleading ID in the folder name, or nearby *.nfo file, etc, that forces the wrong match. Let me know what you find out. Maybe you can figure out why this is happening for your files.
