Invalid Movie Detection

ByQuadiix · Post by **ByQuadiix** » 22 Nov 2025, 00:37

Hi, i use the filebot Node version and have as an input a folder with mixed movies and series.
This is my log:

Group: {Movie=null, Series=Angels of Death (2018)} => [Angels of Death - Movie 001 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - Movie 002 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - Movie 003 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - Movie 004 - (German Dub).mp4]

Code: Select all

Group: {Series=Angels of Death (2018)} => [Angels of Death - S01E001 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E002 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E003 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E004 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E005 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E006 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E007 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E008 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E009 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E010 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E011 - (German Dub).mp4, Angels of Death - S01E012 - (German Dub).mp4]

I tried applying a filter in the format option in the WebUI but that doesnt change anything, this was my setting:

Format: Select all

Movies/{fn.match(/(.*) - Movie (\d+)/)[1]}/{fn.match(/(.*) - Movie (\d+)/)[1]} - Movie {'%03d' % fn.match(/Movie (\d+)/)[1].toInteger()} ({lang})

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think the Problem is that the ,,Movies" are not present in theMovieDB and Filebot just renames them as the first episodes and skips the real episodes.

Please post the complete console output so that we can see what you can see. Make sure not to remove newlines when copy & pasting the console output from the FileBot Node WebUI.

What would be the correct match as per your selected database for each of these files?

The snippet you posted suggests that you are indeed processing a TV series:

Code: Select all

Angels of Death - S01E001 - (German Dub).mp4

If this TV series comes with additional movies then those movies would usually be managed as special episodes of that series. If you want to process some files as episode and some files as movie, then you may need to process the files separately and force Movie Mode / Series Mode as needed via the Input Type option.

Your custom format notably has no effect on matching. Matching is finding the correct movie / episode for the file at hand. Formatting is generating a file path from the matched movie / episode. Your custom format is responsible for the latter and is completely unrelated (and happens only afterwards) to matching.

I see. The TV series episode files are processed correctly. The movie files files are incorrectly processed as if they were TV series episodes, which leads to a clash, since you can't have the same target file twice.

Code: Select all

[MOVE] from [/volume1/input/Angels of Death/Angels of Death - Movie 001 - (German Dub).mp4] to [/media/TV Shows/Angels of Death {tmdb-80477}/Season 01/Angels of Death - S01E01 - Töte mich… bitte.mp4]

Code: Select all

[MOVE] from [/volume1/input/Angels of Death/Angels of Death - S01E001 - (German Dub).mp4] to [/media/TV Shows/Angels of Death {tmdb-80477}/Season 01/Angels of Death - S01E01 - Töte mich… bitte.1.mp4]

Presumably, these strange Movie 001 - 004 files are supposed to be the 4 special episodes:

Code: Select all

Angels of Death - Movie 001 - (German Dub).mp4
Angels of Death - Movie 002 - (German Dub).mp4
Angels of Death - Movie 003 - (German Dub).mp4
Angels of Death - Movie 004 - (German Dub).mp4

Code: Select all

Angels of Death - S00E01 - I'm not Your God
Angels of Death - S00E02 - Swear you will be killed by me
Angels of Death - S00E03 - A vow cannot be stolen
Angels of Death - S00E04 - Stop crying and smile

Unfortunately, the amc script is not able to make that kind of leap based on the file names alone... You will want to use the FileBot Desktop application in cases where Manual Matching is more handy:

If you must use FileBot Node, and if you are fairly technical, then the --file-filter and --filter could conceivably be used to coax the amc script into matching up these "movie" 1-4 files with the special episodes 1-4, but I'd strongly recommend just using the GUI since it's designed to make quick work of these kinds of hands-on tasks.

EDIT

e.g. select only files with "Movie" in the file name and then match them against the episode list limited to special episodes:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename /path/to/input --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict --format '{plex.name}' --file-filter 'fn =~ /Movie/' --filter 'episode.special' --action TEST --log INFO
[TEST] from [Angels of Death - Movie 001 - (German Dub).mkv] to [Angels of Death - S00E01 - Angels of Death – Final Cut.mkv]
[TEST] from [Angels of Death - Movie 002 - (German Dub).mkv] to [Angels of Death - S00E02 - Kill Command.mkv]
