FileBot

I am trying to get the list of TVSHOWS episodes where the name of the TVSHOWS is not well renamed

Ex.:
but FileBot cant match the TvShows
What i really need is to get the tvshow name well formatted and the only way i found is to use the -LIST option, but if the name used for the query its not already formatted it doesnt works.

Is there a better way to do this ?

Thank you

I have no idea what you're trying to do or what the problem is.

1)
Please read • How to 'Request Help' • and update your post.

2)
If you need help dealing with badly named files please read FAQ #2.

3)
The --q option has to be the series name. Bad queries won't work. The whole point of the --q option is so that the user can manually force the query if the filenames are too bad.

4)
The -list and --db options are irrelevant if you're using the amc script. Since you're manually renaming episodes from the cmdline the amc script is definitely not what you wanna do. A simple -rename --db thetvdb call will do.

Thank you for your support.

if the "--q" only accept well formatted name i cant achieve what i need. because what i have to format doesnt come from a filename but from a string.

Last question,

Is there a way to pass a string with a bad formatted name and autodetect the tvshow name ?

If it was possible to guess the series name, then it would just guess the series name, and you wouldn't need any options.
