Hey Hector
version 4.23.2. tested and everything went right, good job!

but it did not recognized a movie I just added because you called it
9 1/2 Weeks (1986)

but both IMDB and TMDB called it

Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986)

Thanks again for your great job.

All the posters I've seen spell it "9 1/2 Weeks".

Anyway, I'll try to make the algorithm handle both.

Great

Today I wanted to improve the algorithm, but it doesn't seem necessary, the algorithm already handles "Nine 1/2 Weeks" fine.

I've tried with a file named "Nine 1 2 Weeks.avi" (because file names can't have the character '/') and it was correctly associated to the Kim Basinger movie.

What's your exact file name and the movie it gets wrongly associated with?

the name given by The Movie Date Base TMDB is:

Nine 12 Weeks (1986)

without spaces between numbers, and it was misscanned.

it is not wrongly associated, it is just not recognized.

I disagree, TMDB has it as "Nine 1/2 Weeks"

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10068-nine-1-2-weeks

and if you search "Nine 12 Weeks" you get zero results:

https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Nine+12+Weeks



There has to be a space. 12 isn't the same as 1/2. If you remove the space, you change the meaning.

https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Nine+1+2+Weeks


I consider that Coollector's algorithm is fine. I've been glad to see that it was already capable of recognizing a title starting with "nine" instead of "9".

ok, let me explain better because maybe I am not being so clear.

there is a difference between movie TITLES and FILE NAMES, because as you may know, file names can not contain Special Characters.

That being said, YES, the MOVIE TITLE for TMDB is Nine 1/2 Weeks BUT when you scrape for that movie, the scraper itself renames the files and the resulting name is as mentioned before: "Nine 12 Weeks"

So, it´s not me, it´s the scraping software.

I agree with you 100% BUT this is the way this kind of software (MEDIA COMPANION) works

I wish it were different, file names allowing special characters for example, that would be the best scenario possible.

Your scraping software is wrong, "1/2" should become "1 2" and not "12".

What scraping software is it?

Anyway, I won't adjust my algorithm because of a crappy scraping software. The 1 and the 2 must be separated. If I started merging words together, the algorithm would become unjustifiably slow.

I'm sorry, you're asking too much. Ask them, it's them who have a bug.

This bug is super easy to fix on their side, they just have to replace "1/2" with "1 2", it's a single line of code.

On the other hand, it's hard to fix on my side once the title has lost all its meaning.

Well Hector, again it´s not me, it´s the software. I can manually rename the files and problem solved, BUT every person with a large collection like me, who uses this software to auto-organize the collection will encounter the same problem anytime.

If you consider your algorithm is fine this way, no problem. I can solve it by myself manually renaming the file.

Thanks anyway.

You're most probably the only person in the world that uses both Coollector and Media Companion.



Cool, this way I can focus on more useful things

Hi, Hector

I wanna report another misscanning, this time with the movies

Nymphomaniac Vol. I (2013) - NAMED as in IMDB
Nymphomaniac Vol. II (2013) - NAMED as in IMDB

when I scan the library both movies are associated as Volume 1
