Movie scanning issue with files like "my movie [2009.720p.ac3.dts].mkv" (1 Viewer)

[wenkman]

Hi there!

I have just tried moving pictutres and nearly 90% of my movies won't be found in the movie scanner/importer because I think all of my movies have some details in brackets after its title like this "my movie [720p.ac3.dts].mkv". When I rescan with custom string there always is some kind of a search string that looks like this: "my movie 2009 []" or similar. Is there a possibility to make moving pictures throw away the text in brackets so that it searches only for "my movie"?

I am using the latest version of mp with imdb and latest ofdb (new ofdb).

Thanks in advance.

The 0.8 default noise filter should remove empty bracktets, you can try updating your noise filter with the following expression:

(([\(\{\[]|\b)((576|720|1080)[pi]|dir(ectors )?cut|dvd([r59]|rip|scr(eener)?)|(avc)?hd|wmv|ntsc|pal|mpeg|dsr|r[1-5]|bd[59]|dts|ac3|blu(-)?ray|[hp]dtv|stv|hddvd|xvid|divx|x264|dxva|(?-i)FEST[Ii]VAL|L[iI]M[iI]TED|[WF]S|PROPER|REPACK|RER[Ii]P|REAL|RETA[Ii]L|EXTENDED|REMASTERED|UNRATED|CHRONO|THEATR[Ii]CAL|DC|SE|UNCUT|[Ii]NTERNAL|[DS]UBBED)([\]\)\}]|\b)(-[^\s]+$)?)

the noise filter can be found under advanced settings. To go there open up the configuration screen and navigate to:

About (tab) -> Advanced Settings (button, right lower corner) -> Movie Importer -> Tweaks -> Regular Expression Noise Filter

Now delete what is there now and copy the new expression. Restart the importer and see what the results are.

Thanks, fantastic!

I added a small prefix and now I even get all the content (no matter what) deleted which is in those brackets...

Yeah that's another possibility... but because of movies titled like [REC] we don't include that in our default filter
