@Miran

you don't have to change your naming scheme, you just have to use the "TITLEREGEXP" parameter.

Hi,
Ok, the above worked. Looks like the problem I was originally having with nothing happening was related to DOpus having internet connection problems. Once that was fixed it worked as intended. However, regarding the year in parentheses and anything afterward, how do I add this line that you wrote above to it? also, is there any way that it can read the movie name despite missing a character? for exmaple, "X-men: Days of future past", I've replaced my colon with a space because I can't name a file with that character (:). So is it possible for it to search it and find it even though tmdb has it with the colon?
Thanks for the great script!

Anybody know what I do to add the command mentioned above?

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*"

Where in the scrip or button do I add this?

@arielreyes001

"TheMovieDB-Downloader" is a custom command, "TITLEREGEXP" a Parameter you could use to extract the Movie Title from the file name with the help of a RegExp.

The Script just passes the extracted title as search string to TheMovieDBs API, therefore it depends on their search algorithm what is found and what not. Often it works without the colon. Maybe because their is an alternate title in the tmdb or maybe the search engine is smart enough.

Ok, I think I finally got it, per your instructions and the instructions in the link. It works great!! I think the reason I was having trouble previously is because I needed a restart and update to the latest version.
Thanks again for such a wonderful script, it has saved me a lot of time!

Can you post an example of what exactly what should be written in the command? Say, for discussion sake, the name of the movie is Die Hard.

What should this command look like?

Like this?

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="Die Hard(.*)\(.*"

[Miran]

File: Die Hard.avi
Command: TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$}

File: Die Hard (1988).avi
Command: TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*" ERRFILE

The TITLEREGEXP should contain a regular expression that extracts the movie title from the actual file name. The Movie Title must end in the first group (expression within the first "()" ).

@Trudefix

TheMovieDB-Downloader {filename$} {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.)(." errfile infofile backdrop

{filename$} {filepath$}
looks not right. try it without the additional filename.

@Trudefix

TheMovieDB.org Poster&Info Downloader: General failure getting response from MovieDB.org

Hmm, "general failure" could be everything no internet connection, wrong proxy settings, service down,
set LogLevel to Debug in the Script Config to get more information from the script.

@Trudefix

TheMovieDB.org Poster&Info Downloader: No Movie found on MovieDB.org for: Xmen Origins Wolverine - German

No movie found due to wrong Title
the api will find everything that is "similar" to one of the alternate titles of the movie (themoviedb.org/movie/2080-x- ... lease-info). eg. "X-Men Origins Wolverine" would work, while your title "Xmen Origins Wolverine - German" would not.

@Trudefix

Fehler in Zeile 1, Position 5
@script vbscript

That's probably an error from an other script, as the MovieDB script is jscript and not vbscript

@Miran

{filename$} {filepath$}
looks not right. try it without the additional filename.

ok .. then next try with following:

TheMovieDB-Downloader filepath$ TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*" errfile infofile backdrop

there is a new question for you ..
how can i switch the following parameters to true :

InfoFile: false
Backdrop: false

thank you for your quickly help .

[Miran]

@Trudefix

how can i switch the following parameters to true :
InfoFile: false
Backdrop: false

Add command switches "BACKDROP INFOFILE". As you already have them in your command in lowercase dopus probably requires them in upper case, but haven't verified myself.

[Leo]

The case should not matter, but the order could, depending on the command template.

[Miran]

@Trudefix

ok .. then next try with following config : TheMovieDB-Downloader filepath$ TITLEREGEXP="(.)(." errfile infofile backdrop

try:

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*" ERRFILE INFOFILE BACKDROP

if this it not working, please give some example file names.

[Miran]

@leo

The case should not matter, but the order could, depending on the command template.

The order of the parameters is important?! wasn't aware of that.

But anyway the problem probably was the missing "FILE" argument, that is mandatory and was missing in the command Trudefix has posted.

[blueroly]

@Miran

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*" ERRFILE INFOFILE BACKDROP

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*)" ERRFILE INFOFILE BACKDROP

[Leo]

@Miran

The order of the parameters is important?! wasn't aware of that.

It isn't usually important but it can be. e.g. If one of the arguments is /R and eats everything that comes after it. /O arguments can also eat the word that comes after them if it's not another keyword.

[Miran]

@blueroly

TheMovieDB-Downloader FILE {filepath$} TITLEREGEXP="(.*)\(.*[b])[/b]" ERRFILE INFOFILE BACKDROP

nope

(.*)\(.*
^   ^ ^
1   2  3

1. (.*) every character from the beginning of the file name, and first regexp group => Movie Title
2. \( first "(" Character, escaped with \ as we want the actual ( not the regexp meaning
3. .* everything after the first "(" character

Filenames where this patter makes sense
The Matrix (1999).avi
<MovieTitle> (<Year>).avi

or

Inception (2010) [en-de].mkv
<MovieTitle> (<Year>) [<languagetracks>].mkv
