Matching Issues With New TVDB API #162

Closed msw1970 closed 4 years ago

msw1970 commented 4 years ago

Hi

So, tvnamer, seems to be "working" again after the issues with thetvdb api over the last few days, however, I'm now finding an increasing number of shows "mis-matching" when using a config file (effectively running in batch mode) and therefore being incorrectly renamed or failing on the series "not existing". Examples include...

The Blacklist - Selecting The Blacklist: Redemption Marvel's Agents of SHIELD - Selecting Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Academy Watchmen - Selecting Watchmen: Motion Comic Mr Robot - Selecting Mr Robot Digital

There's then a number of shows where no match is being found although when I search on thetvdb website the show appears

Silicon Valley The Path

Is there anything that I can do within the config file to enforce exact matching only until this is properly fixed as it's breaking some of my home automation tasks.

Certain series constantly get identified wrongly; I therefore use the following switch to "pin" the ID based on the name of the folder my script is operating on (yes, this is hardcoded in my master script).

Example for FotB:

tvnamer ... --series-id 281618

In addition to the command line arg, #156 has details on how to do this via the config too

The stuff in #156 helps, but can we get a way of preferring more exact matches? There seems to be a lot of these occurrences, and it's a major pain. :(
