I’m having problems matching shows with colons in the title against TheTVDB.com . Example: “H20:The Molecule That Made Us” is TheTVDB.com series ID 380647. Because “:” (colon) is not a valid filename character in Windows (and maybe other filesystems too), it gets removed from the recording filename…

MCEBuddy does try doing a match after removing special characters but YMMV. If you have the logs I could try to replicate it.

It’s not a question of removing the special characters. It’s a question of putting them back in. :wink: I think this was the source of problems with shows that have quotes and apostrophes in their titles and some guides would use the quote marks and others would use the “smart quotes” (open and clo…

Notes looking through the log file: Minor: There are some inconsistent uses of the line terminator. Not all lines end in ^M^L (CR-LF). There’s this: --> Extracted SiliconDust tags: Title: Power Trip: The Story of Energy : IMDB Id: MovieDB Id: TVDB Id: Is Movie: False Is Sports: False : 2020-05…

I had a look and it’s working just fine here. The issue isn’t the : it’s that fact that it’s a series with just an title and nothing else to match, no subtitle or air date or episode number etc.

Could it be that you searched TheTVDB with the “special characters removed” (no colon) title (or original filename title) and not the actual title (with colon) from the metadata? Or do you search both and first one wins? I ask because almost all of the shows that don’t have much guide metadata are …

The air date and record date is in the filename - it is a HDHR recording. How is it that I can search by name only on TheTVDB and it comes up with a series ID just fine? MCEBuddy is now matching on both series, so no big deal. I’ll watch for another one to see if it is still happening. No worries.…

If it happens again save the logs so we can get a proper look at this. When matching a series it expects a title and subtitle (episode). Documentaries don’t have episodes so TVDB doesn’t return a match when MCEBuddy tries to match the air date.

Will do. Unfortunately, all the documentaries I record are broadcast in multiple parts, aka “episodes”. Usually 3 or 4, but sometimes more. e.g Ken Burns on Baseball, Jazz, Country Music, National Parks, etc. And this one on Power has 3. I’ll see if I can catch it happening.

J’ai reproduit votre configuration et j’ai pris le titre dans les métadonnées, avec les deux-points.

Votre problème ne vient pas des caractères spéciaux ; vos métadonnées ne contiennent pas assez d’informations pour créer une correspondance. Voir mon commentaire ci-dessus :

Il faut deux éléments d’information pour obtenir une correspondance.
