Parsing filenames

[d3x]

I really only need filebot to convert "American.Beauty.1999.480p.BRRip.XviD.AC3-ViSiON" to "American Beauty (1999)"

Is there an easy way to make use of the filebot parse engine?

You're probably looking for matchMovie(string, strict)

Code: Select all

def f = 'X:/American.Beauty.1999.480p.BRRip.XviD.AC3-ViSiON.avi' as File

println matchMovie(f.name, false) // fast file-name lookup
println detectMovie(f, false) // full file-structure search/lookup

matchMovie() failed on most of my movie colleciton. detectMovie() had a 100% success rate.

Are detectSeriesName() and parseEpisodeNumber() the equivalent to matchMovie() or detectMovie()?

matchMovie only matches movies for a string. It's 100% accurate but may not works to messy strings. Detect movie does all kinda shit including online shit to figure things out.

detectSeriesName tries to guess the series (search query) but does no search. parseEpisodeNumber will give you SxE objects for a given string containing known SxE patterns.
