[QUOTE="kev160967, post: 145969, member: 26620"] Hi, I'd noticed that the IMDB scan was having trouble with a lot of my movies, so I took a look at what was going on. One thing I spotted was that FuzzyMatch in IMDBFetcher.cs was being asked to match files with titles like "Stuart Little 2.AVI" (hey, I have kids :) ) against strings returned from IMDB like "Stuart Little 2 (1996) (imdb)". This was screwing up the matching results. It seemed daft to include the (imdb) in the match, and also I rarely had a year in my file names, so that threw things off as well. I added the following function and import: using System.Text.RegularExpressions; private string StripNameAndIMDB(string title) { if (title.Trim().EndsWith("(imdb)")) title = title.Substring(0, title.LastIndexOf("(imdb)")); Regex bracketedYear = new Regex("[(]\\d{4,4}[)]$"); title = bracketedYear.Replace(title.Trim(), ""); return title; } and used it to preprocess the strings being passed into Levenshtein.Match. I got a huge improvement in accuracy. As it stands, this throws away the year even if it is included in the filename being matched, so it could do with a tweak to only lose the year if the filename doesn't include one. Any comments?
