TheTVDB not finding the right show

[peatnik]

Hey,

filebot is trying to match against an incorrect show and when i exclude that show with a filter it doesn't find any other shows and i get unsorted files.

log: https://bpaste.net/show/ff840ad0e9ce

This seems strange to me because with filebot -list --q "craig.ferguson" --filter "n != /The Craig Ferguson Show/" i get a long list of all the episodes of the correct show "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson". But Filebot doesn't find it in this case and only tries to match against "The Craig Ferguson Show".

I can fix it by forcing the name of the show with --q "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" but is there a more generic way to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I'll add Craig Ferguson as alias for The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson:

PS:

Your -list is misleading because it works regardless of --filter option:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --q "craig ferguson"
The Craig Ferguson Show - 1x01 - Pilot

$ filebot -list --q "craig.ferguson"
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - 1x01 - Jan 03, 2005
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - 1x02 - Jan 04, 2005
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - 1x03 - Jan 05, 2005
...

In fact, the --filter option will filter on the episode level, not on the series level. By the time your --filter is applied to each episode, -list has already picked the first series option.

Thank you!
Are the changes in effect immediately? Or do i need to install a new version of filebot or fetch some resources?
Is there some way to add aliases myself e.g. override/complement your aliases with a local file to be able to fix this myself in the future?

If you do nothing, then changes will take effect in 0-2 weeks. If you clear the cache first, then it's 0-1 weeks.
