FileBot

For filebot 4.6.1 (64 bits) on Windows 10

I have a file named :

Ip Man 3 [Action, Biography, Drama] #tt2888046.avi

When i press the match button with TheMovieDB, it detect as :

Ip Man (2008) 108min [Drama, Action, History] #tt1220719.avi

When i press the match button with OMDB, it detect as :

Ip Man (2008) 106min [Action, Biography, Drama] #tt1220719.avi

I expect to get at least "Ip Man 3" with the same imdb id.
There's 3 movie for this collection : https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/7 ... uage=en-US

Looks good to me:

This was done on the GUI.

I created a "new text document", renamed it "Ip Man 3 FR [Action, Biography, Drama] #tt2888046.avi".
Open it in filebot GUI, then when i click on match (with TheMovieDB).
I get 3 proposition instead of just the one from the name with imdbid

• Ip Man 3 (2015)
• Ip Man (2008)
• The Man (2005)

If i take the movie, it's detected as "Ip Man (2008)". I guess i have renamed it at least once before. It is the problem ?

After i checked the generic, i found it's

The Legend Is Born - Ip Man (2010) 100min [Drama, Action, History] #tt1641638

So you select "Ip Man 3" and it's still matching it to "Ip Man 1" is that correct? Please post picture proof (i.e. screenshot) because it works with both latest stable/revision.

What's the full file path? Are there any other movies in the same folder?

1.
Bad filename + "good" foldername = bad ranking In this case, the "FR" messes things up.


2.
You can work around these kind of issues by forcing the search query => CTRL+Click datasource

Well, the folder is the name of the collection.

Is it possible to match correctly if the name of the folder is "Ip Man Collection" instead ?

And FR is the language.
Is it possible to avoid conflict if language is like this ?

[FR] or [FR, EN]

(FR) or (FR, EN)

Sure, either will work.

1.
If the folder "Ip Man" doesn't exactly match the movie "Ip Man" then it should be different enough for the correct match to be ranked on top.

2.
This kind of brackets are ignored, it'll rank query "Ip Man 3" with movie "Ip Man 3" so it's gonna come out on top.

3.
Adding the movie year after the movie name, or anywhere in the filename, would probably also fix this issue.

1. Nice to know

2. Just to be sure. Only the bracket or all the content inside too ?

3. So if the year is in bracket, it will be ignored ?

2.
[Everything of course]

3.
In some aspects, yes. In some aspects, no. It doesn't matter thought, it'll always just work if the filename is reasonable, and movie year is definitely part of a reasonable movie filename.

3. So the detection should be better if the year is not in parenthese or bracket ?

3.
Nope. Brackets or no brackets. It doesn't matter.

Thank you very much !
