Scanner mistakes with movies

[tmsrxzar]

from what i see your file names need attention any way, they're not even consistent

Halloween.1978.UHD.2160p.BluRay.REMUX.HDR10.HEVC.TrueHD.7.1.mkv
Halloween.2018.REMUX.2160p.(10bit).BluRay.UHD.HDR.HEVC.DTS-X.7.1.mkv

on 1 you went date.UHD.2160p.BluRay.REMUX then change to date.REMUX.2160p.(10bit).BluRay.UHD

then on another you abandoned everything and just went date.2160p.uhd.x265.mkv

for my own collection, dates and periods work completely fine BUT you should be more consistent and accept that in some cases the file may need more information in the filename

go with this format Title.Year.Version.Resolution.ExtraCrap.Codecs.ext
example: Ghostbusters.1984.2160p.UHD.BluRay.REMUX.TrueHD.Atmos.DV.HEVC.mkv
example: Ghostbusters.1984.DC.2160p.UHD.BluRay.REMUX.TrueHD.Atmos.DV.HEVC.mkv

bladerunner 2049 is already an issue for most scrapers because it indicates to the scraper that the movie year is "2049" so putting it in a folder of the same name with an added [imdbid-] will be needed

ghostbusters 2016 is probably the same

and since youve been doing this for 20 years you should already know that scrapers basically use a regex to isolate title+year then literally search tmdb with that exact information, very little logic is applied to the results unfortunately so you will have to provide your own logic


to Venson and the rest of the jellyfin team, it would indeed be helpful to filter the returned results and only use ones that match an identified year from the filename, if available
if the search was for "ghostbusters"+"&year=2016" then results returned with a release year of 1984 are obviously incorrect
