ignore SortReplaceCharacters also in identify - dacook - 2024-03-14

Hi,
When the scraper doesn´t find the film, i use "Identifizieren" (identify) to update metadata.
All my Movies have no spaces " ", the use dots "." in the directory-name and file-name
e.g. my.movie.2000.german.1080p-XY

When i copy "my.movie" into the search field, nothing sis found
when i replace the "." --> "my movie" the metadata is found

is it possible to use the "SortReplaceCharacters" also for the feature identify?

Quote: <SortReplaceCharacters>
<string>.</string>
<string>+</string>
<string>%</string>
</SortReplaceCharacters>

No. AFAIK, that setting only changes how the UI sorts media. Using dots in the file name is fine, but you can't use that in the UI when searching.

The "normal" scraping is OK with with the dots.
But the "indentify" feature not:

Seems to be a Problem with "TheMovieDb" ?
so should I open a Bug?

This is not a bug. This is the expected behavior. The file name scraper and the "identify" function don't use the same code.

You can submit a feature request to accept dots as separators, though.
