TMDB scraping question/issue with dots in filename

[beerland 0]

When there is a dot instead of a space in the name of the movie I often get wrong results. Not sure if this is intended behavior or something wrong on my end.

For example:

Underworld.Evolution.2006 gets scraped as Underworld 2003
Underworld Evolution.2006 gets gets scraped correctly

In the logs it looks like this:
HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=x_secret1_x&query=Underworld.Evolution&language=en&year=2006 => Scrapes as Underworld 2003
HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=x_secret1_x&query=Underworld Evolution&language=en&year=2006 => Scrapes correctly

 

Edit: sorry just noticed the recommended movie naming for Emby is without any dots. I assumed it would work because it did with other scrapers. I suppose I should just have to rename all my files or there another way to make it ignore the dots?

Hi there, how exactly are your files named and organized?

The library folder I added to Emby is /volume2/SHR/Beer/Movies/2160p/

All files are in that folder, no subfolders. So the path to a movie looks like this:
/volume2/SHR/Beer/Movies/2160p/Underworld.Evolution.2006.BluRay.ATMOS.HDR.x265.mkv

For testing/the original post I simplified the name to find out what exactly causes the issue. Removing the single dot between Underworld and Evolution makes it match ok.

 

Unrelated to the issue above but a few other also match the wrong movie, for example The Mummy 2017 scrapes as The Mummy 1999.

it seems to request the right one from TMDB from what I can see in the logs but it still ends up matching with the wrong movie.

Never had issues when not using seperate folders but because its recommended I tried it too:
/volume2/SHR/Beer/Movies/2160p/The Mummy (2017)/The Mummy (2017).mkv but it still fetches The Mummy 1999

 

The majority of my movies are fine though and I understand there will always be some odd/hard to match ones, but i feel like the examples I used above should have no issues to match correctly.

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.
