<div>Doug,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the explanation. I'll start using the -MG for my cron jobs.<br></div>
<div>A file name example is "Tropic Thunder.mkv"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tell me what you think (and what steps you took to get there, so I can better understand)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Andrew!<br></div>

<br>I noticed that you are using the -MIG set of command line options. The "I" and "G" are mutually exclusive. "I" is for interactive selection of an TVDB or IMDB reference number for a given video file. While the "G" option tells jamu to make a best guess at the video's TVDB or IMDB reference number without user interaction. In fact with the "I" option, if only one possible movie or TV series is possible for your video file Jamu will use it and skip the interactive selection. So in a way the "I" option has guessing functionality built in.<br>
<br>Usually you only use the "G" option for video file names that are well formed like if they were named using Schedule Directs information or you used the tvnamer.py utility mentioned in the jamu wiki to fix your TV episode video file names. I only use the "G" option in cron jobs where I do not want to interface with Jamu.<br>
<br>You can also rename both TV episodes and movie video files with Jamu using the options -MIF. Movies will be renamed to the format "movie title (YEAR).ext" and TV episodes to "TV series title - SxxExx - Episode title.ext". Along with metadata and graphics downloads and db updates. An all in one option. Option "-MGF" can also be used but again the accuracy is totally dependant on what can be parsed from the original file name.<br>
<br>Note that when there are two exact matches for a movie title (e.g. "Planet Of The Apes") jamu "G" option will skip the video to avoid making the wrong choice.<br><br>Doug<br>_______________________________________________<br>
