Accessible History File
Posted: 04 Dec 2017, 17:54
I was involved in a discussion on the Subzero forum for Plex about the difficulty with matching renamed files with accurate subtitles. He is in the middle of adding a feature that gets the original filename from Sonarr and Radarr to use for subtitle matching - so renamed file matching accuracy for subtitle searches would be improved.
He assumed FileBot doesn't have an information database or API to connect to, and suggested that if there was a file with the original filename contained, he could possibly code a special case for filebot.
But the history of original names is recorded and should be accessible, correct? If he was directed that (at least for Windows) - the history was contained within \AppData\Roaming\FileBot\history.xml -- I think that would solve the problem.
I guess my question is: Regarding Windows - is this path consistent between the Windows Store version and the pre-store version? I suppose I could always ask him to just have an option for the user to input their log paths.
