{tags} for Censored/Uncensored issue
Posted: 27 Nov 2025, 03:20
Hi Rednoah,
I've been using your great program for years, one small issue I've run into is with files tagged 'CENSORED' in the filename, for some reason FileBot is picking up a {tags} entry that shows it as 'Uncut'. I had a look through the docs entry for {tags} and it doesn't seem like this is intended behavior (viewtopic.php?t=12668).
Input: Bluey.(2018).S03E39.Exercise.CENSORED.720p.WEB-DL.x264.AAC-.mp4
Output: Bluey.(2018).S03E39.Exercise.Uncut.CENSORED.720p.WEB-DL.x264.AAC-.mp4
In testing if I add 'CENSORED' to another random episode this same problem does not occur, and if I rename the above file to remove 'censored' it still comes up as 'Uncut' in Filebot. Looking at the episode bindings in Filebot I see 'edition: Uncut' and 'tags: [Uncut]'.
I also have the uncut version of the same episode, and if I tag that file it comes up with no tags/bindings for 'uncensored/uncut' as I'd expect (its not in the filename). So I'm confused why this one file seems to be identifying {tags} as uncut.
To fix this issue would it be possible to add 'censored' to the list of tags FileBot gathers from filenames?
I see {tags} already gathers cut/uncut/uncensored, but not 'censored'.
Worth noting that censored and cut are not identical definitions. A censored version may just have overdub beeps, whereas a cut version may just run shorter due to airtime limitations, likewise 'uncut' may be longer than the aired/screened version while 'uncensored' may be the same length as aired but have no censored words/content. Thats why some movies or TV show releases get advertised as 'uncut & uncensored' to indicate they're the completely original & full version of the release.
Warm regards.
My script for episode naming (highlighted relevant sections - it searches for 'censored' and caps it, it also uses {tags}):
