Scream The TV Series dont match correctly cause Series is in blacklist.
Can this be added to exclusions?

Posted: **29 Jul 2015, 22:17**

Can you give me an example filename for testing please?

Scream.The.TV.Series.S01E05.720p.HDTV.HEVC.x265.mkv

This gets renamed to The UP Show S01E05

Posted: **30 Jul 2015, 12:38**

Nope, it doesn't match because the name of the series is "Scream" not "Scream The TV Series". Adding "The TV Series" to the exclude-blacklist might at least help avoid the "The UP Show" mismatch though.

Posted: **30 Jul 2015, 17:18**

Ah OK.
Is there anything I can do to make it match correctly?

See FAQ #2 => Q: How do I "fix" the misidentified files?

I saw that but I mean when using the automated AMC script?
Without manual intervention?
Like a whitelist to match files against that always get matched wrongly.

The --filter option.

How can I use my own series mapping list offline and not the online one?

Posted: **17 Jan 2016, 15:18**

Yes. But you have yet to contribute a single pattern to the global mappings, so you should give that a try first.

ok so i have problem with csi (germany) and stargate sg-1.

File:
CSI---Den-Tätern-auf-der-Spur.64.Wer-ist-Sqweegel_.mkv

is always failing and become unsorted.
It should be assigned to csi series.

File:
Stargate.10.Der-Planet-der-Eiszeit.mkv

is always matched to Stargate the movie. It shoud be the series Stargate SG-1 series.

It seems that thetvdb.com is down at the moment, so i can paste the correct series links in here at the moment.

Posted: **19 Jan 2016, 05:22**

Well, you can't really expect horrible filenames (no SxE number, bad episode title) to just work. I wouldn't know what to do with those files, so the amc script putting them in "Unsorted" is the best thing that could happen, and with a bit of bad luck you'll get a mismatch. The series/movie mismatch can be fixed by passing the correct label though.

The GUI will just ask you to confirm the series, and assuming you have Language Preference set to German it might even be able to match it to the right episode.

Hence, use FileBot GUI to deal with these horrible filenames.

PS: Series detection is not a problem in this case, and there's no way you can magically make it work for these filenames just by adding a few magic patterns to the *.txt files this thread is about.

Don´t get this wrong.
I don´t want to blame the script for doing a bad job. I´m realy happy about finding this page and this script is awesome.
And as far as i monitored this, i think this script can work like it want to have it.
But i´m stuck with customizing it. Feeling like lost in the jungle, so i need the direction i have to walk.

So sadly you are not able to get a EPG data service with full SxxExx labeling for your showns in germany.
I´m using epgdata.com, a paid service, for having at least a valid episode number and a correct episode title. These titles are correct every time.
So having the series name, series episode number and series episode title is enough input for identify a file correct. Your scricpt is doing fine with it a lot of times.
Just in some cases it has a missmatch.

I´m using filebot on a synology nas with filebot-node also.
So there is no real GUI for me..........

So i have only 2 needs for improving my digital live with this script.

First: In many cases it is finding a series and a movie for a file. This leads into unable to differentiate. In most cases (>90%) it is a series and not a movie. So how can i make the script to dismiss the movie and use the found series instead of doing nothing?

Example:

Code: Select all

Undercover-Boss.1.MeinFernbus-FlixBus.mkv [series: Undercover Boss, movie: The Boss (1973)]
Unable to differentiate: [Undercover-Boss.1.MeinFernbus-FlixBus.mkv] => [Undercover Boss] VS [The Boss (1973)]

Second: How can i include hardcoded text pattern like "Stargate" and point to a series it should take like "Stargate SG-1"?
Example:

Code: Select all

Stargate.14.Die-verhinderte-Allianz.mkv [series: Stargate, movie: Stargate (1994)]

As explained in the manual, you're supposed to pass in a label to force series/movie mode. The FileBot Node GUI makes this available as option as well.

If you know that you only have episodes, then you can easily force series mode. If you know that epsiode titles will be in German then you can set language to German so episode data better matches your files.

So --lang and --def ut_label is probably all you need. If not, then there is --filter but that's more difficult to use.

Posted: **19 Jan 2016, 08:15**

You might want to write your own script that moves files into TV and Movies folders according to your own rules, and then have the amc script pick up from there.

EDIT:

Does your EPG allow you to separate TV shows and Movies? Preferably sorting files into different folders, or otherwise tagging files?

Posted: **19 Jan 2016, 10:44**

ok i use the following call:

Code: Select all

filebot -script 'fn:amc' /volume1/TV-Aufnahmen/sort --output /volume1/TV-Aufnahmen/Fertig --action move -non-strict --conflict override --lang de --def 'unsorted=y' 'artwork=y' 'clean=y' 'deleteAfterExtract=y' 'minLengthMS=300000' --log all --log-file '/volume1/@appstore/filebot-node/filebot.log' >> '/volume1/@appstore/filebot-node/log/1452584449904.log' 2>&1

My EPG data delievers i.e. category "series" or "movie"
I´m using tvheadend-4.0 as tv recorder. But dunno how to get this category into the filename or how i can use it.

Code: Select all

<programme start="20160205190000 +0100" stop="20160205200000 +0100" channel="atlantic.sky.de">

I have another question about the --filter age parameter. You say it is comparing the air date. Is this also fitting the air date for german tv?
How is this air date used? Will it help me to use age<2 because i´m running filebot every night.

Posted: **19 Jan 2016, 10:59**

1.
The age --filter approach would not work well for German airdates, and especially not for reruns (e.g. old Stargate episodes). Also, the --filter option can't help with series/movie detection.

In the manual you'll see this. The --def ut_label options is used to force TV Series mode, and the --filter option is used to help with episode selection:

Code: Select all

--filter "age < 7" --def "ut_label=TV"

This won't work for you because you are dealing with series and movie type files, and I doubt that there's any correlation between your recording date, and the original airdate.

PS: The Exclude Blacklist & Series-Mappings discussed in this thread are another thing entirely. It's complicated.

2.
So tvheadend should have all the information it needs to put category series files and category movie files into different folders. I'm sure that's supported, and if not, then maybe that feature can be added.

Posted: **19 Jan 2016, 14:58**

Well, the way I understand it, filename is generated from the EPG data, so if you know the episode title, you also know the category. It already supports some sort of subdirectory feature. Just make a feature request and see what happens.

Posted: **20 Jan 2016, 09:46**

yes i will post a request .................. maybe it will happen.
Right now i created two profiles for recording......... one for movie and one for series with different output folders.
So i have to chose the right profile when creating the recording. Sadly this is far away from automation and i dunno know how to teach my wife

Another one:
Group: [tvs:undercover boss us] => [Undercover Boss.MeinFernbus FlixBus.mkv]
[MOVE] Rename [/volume1/TV-Aufnahmen/sort/Undercover Boss.MeinFernbus FlixBus.mkv] to [/volume1/TV-Aufnahmen/Fertig/TV Shows/Undercover Boss (US)/Season 01/Undercover Boss (US) - S01E09 - 1-800-Flowers.mkv]

Why is it choosing the (US) series of Undercover Boss? The language is set to DE.
The right thetvdb.com entry should be: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=248243&lid=14

Posted: **20 Jan 2016, 09:54**

If that file would say Undercover Boss (DE) then it should work. Undercover Boss is highly ambiguous. Picking series Undercover Boss for a file called Undercover Boss is not exactly unreasonable.

The US version matches the filename perfectly, and it's more popular than the DE version. However, this is the kind of scenario where adding a --filter rule might work (assuming that multiple Undercover Boss shows make it past the first round of series detection).

Posted: **20 Jan 2016, 10:00**

Thats true.

How can i exclude the "Undercover Boss (US)" for all following search actions and having a hit on "Undercover Boss (DE)"?

BTW: Feel free to split this thread when it becomes tooo off-topic.
