There seem to be some TV shows that exist in TheTVDB but fail to be detected correctly by FileBot 4.5.

E.g. I have the file:

Shaun das Schaf - Waschtag.mpg

When I try to get season and episode info for this file with

Code: Select all

filebot -rename "Shaun das Schaf - Waschtag.mpg" --format "{n}.{s00e00} - {t}" --db thetvdb --lang de -non-strict

I get

Code: Select all

Failed to detect query for files: [Shaun das Schaf - Waschtag.mpg]
Unable to match files to episode data
Failure (°_°)

even though spelling is correct, series and episode info exist.

When I try to rename this in the GUI, it first gives an error about "Unable to identify file" and prompts me to reenter the series name. If I do this and press OK, it finds the episode.

Any explanation/solution for this behavior?

Thanks!

For badly formatted file names you may need to provide --q "Shaun das Schaf". For files that are named with "{n} - {t}" and especially if {n} doesn't match the official (English) name auto-detection probably won't work. If the files was already named "Shaun das Schaf S01E23" then series auto-detection would have a much easier time of course.
