[razsteinmetz]

does not guess the title correctly, but rather make 1883 the absolute episode.

Use -T EXPECTED_TITLE, --expected-title EXPECTED_TITLE option please.

$ guessit -T 1883 1883.s01e05.1080p.web.h264-cakes.mkv

Yes, of course, but I want to guess the title, I don't know its the expected one (out of many files)

For guessit, it's more likely an absolute episode number than a title. There's no bug here.

Then guessit could enhanced to consider that SxxExx is stronger, and discard weak episode patterns like this one as a consequence, for the real title to be guessed.

[razsteinmetz]

I know its not a bug, maybe (i think it does) a list of known situations like that (there was a similar issues with the word Us in the title that was taken as country code) that the package should scan. Also absolute episode over 100 is very unlikely.

Just following up, it seems also to miss other shows who's title is numeric, for example: 1923.S01E02.720p.HEVC.x265-MeGusta.mp4

GuessIt found: {
    "year": 1923,
    "season": 1,
    "episode": 2,
    "screen_size": "720p",
    "video_codec": "H.265",
    "video_profile": "High Efficiency Video Coding",
    "release_group": "MeGusta",
    "container": "mp4",
    "mimetype": "video/mp4",
    "type": "episode"
}

Sorry, but there's no way to fix those issues guys. Use expected_title, and keep in mind that guessit is designed to work with any filename pattern.
