Anidb mismatch for episodes listed as "Other"

The new FLCL series is proving a challenge for Filebot. I am trying to get Anidb to recognize it, but here's what happens:
Code: Select all
[gryphon@jdc-user TOXICROAK]$ filebot -rename -non-strict --action test --db Anidb --q "Furi Kuri Alternative" --format "/home/gryphon/TOXICROAK/Videos/Anime/Series/{primaryTitle}/{primaryTitle} - {episode.speci
al ? 'S'+special.pad(2) : e.pad(2)} - {t}" ./FLCL/Season\ 3/FLCL\ -\ S03E05\ -\ Shake\ It\ Off.mkv
Rename episodes using [AniDB]
Fetching episode data for [Futakoi Alternative]
[TEST] from [/home/gryphon/TOXICROAK/FLCL/Season 3/FLCL - S03E05 - Shake It Off.mkv] to [/home/gryphon/TOXICROAK/Videos/Anime/Series/Futakoi Alternative/Futakoi Alternative - 05 - 7 DAYZ (...and Happy
Dayz).mkv]

The title "Furi Kuri Alternative" is on anidb:
https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?s ... &aid=13258
However, this show was initially released as a movie, now it is being reaired as separate episodes. The episodes are being marked up in Anidb as "other." Filebot doesn't seem to understand this, so I think it's just ignoring the show completely and doing its best with "Futakoi Alternative."
Is there any way to get filebot to recognize these "other" episodes?

Unfortunately, no. "other" type entries are ignored, as most "other" type entries usually lead to mismatches.
There's no way to change this behaviour, but future release could, assuming this is not just an outlier, but something that affects many shows.

Is there any rule we could use to pick "other" episodes instead of "regular" episodes?
e.g. if there's more "other" than "regular" then "other" should be the episode data that FileBot works with? Do normal shows tend to have lots of "other" episodes with length more than 20 min?

Great question. I have no idea what other sorts of data the "other" category is used for. Anidb's schema taxonomy isn't particularly robust, unfortunately
If you wanted to solve the two specific problem shows we've identified in this thread in the narrowest way possible, maybe you could see if all normal episodes contain the word 'Movie' and are >= 50 mins in length, then attempt matching against "other" episodes.

Yes, making it as narrow as possible is the plan. The "Movie / 50 min" plus lots of Episode-like "other" entries should be pretty reliably as a heuristic.
