[SOLVED] Failed to match files to episode data, renaming based on episode title only
Posted: 08 Feb 2017, 18:02
I've recently started using Plex DVR to supplement some of our TV shows that are slower to get to web release. The episode guide that Plex is using, however, has some really goofy numbering for some shows, so I've been having to manually rename things to match TheTVDB numbering to the rest of our integrations work. Clearly it is preferred to make this automated so I started looking at implementing renaming with filebot. I am using filebot 4.7.8 B3 CLI on a headless ubuntu 14.04 LTS server:
I noticed that this output is claiming 4.7.7 however this is installed from SF:
So for this example, I'll stick with Fixer Upper as it's a little more straight forward in that the Plex EPG numbering is shifted from TheTVDB by one eposide; for example Plex DVR S04E10 = TheTVDB S04E09. After the show is recorded by Plex DVR it's written to:
The first behavior I noticed is that filebot assumes the number is correct and will rename the file's episode title to match.
A few forum searches and I found that, indeed, filebot always prefers SXXEXX matching when available but should work fine on episode title when not. So I tested by using a rename regex to strip the SXXEXX as suggested elsewhere in this forum:
However, filebot now fails to match the episode at all:
I can see that the episode title provided is a perfect string match to TheTVDB:
So I'm not entirely clear on how to proceed with automated episode matching based solely on title.
