I'm new to filebot, but liking it very much so far. At the moment, I'm semi-manually renaming my existing media (esp. tv series), but I plan to set up some NAS+transmission+filebot automation later on.
Anyway, my current problem concerns the tv show name matching for "reimagined" tv shows like Doctor Who or Battlestar Galactica. I do by now understand that on TVDB they're differentiated with the respective airdate year in parentheses, so that "Battlestar Galactica (2003)" is the series I want to use. But how do I tell that to filebot, using the command line? Even with "--q" I still get multiple hits:
Code: Select all
filebot --db TheTVDB -non-strict -r --format "{n}/Season {s}/{sxe} - {t}" --output /media/NAS_video/Serien/ -rename BSG --action test --q "Battlestar Galactica (2003)"

I'd probably be able to make this all work by using the GUI, renaming the files to a more suitable format, switching to another DB etc etc. I'd like to understand why my current solution won't do what I expected it to do, though. Can anybody shed light on that?
Thanks for your help in advance,
