Is there a way to ignore punctuation in the metadata grabber?<div><br></div><div>For example, I have my movies organized as such:</div><div><div>Star Trek - First Contact.mkv</div><div>Star Trek - Generations.mkv</div><div>
<br></div></div><div>Now, the actual movie contains a colon (see: <a href="http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/199" class="vt-p">http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/199</a>), but I obviously can't use that as a character (interoperability with Windows).</div>
<div>So I replaced the colon with a hypen (technically a space and a hyphen). I have another video app that fetches metadata (Plex), and it correctly recognizes it.</div><div><br></div><div>I know that I can manually edit the title metadata to remove the hyphen then refetch, and it successfully works. However, I'd like the ability to ignore punctuation in Mythvideo automatically.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This seems to be intentional, as it's explicitly mentioned here: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_Library#Metadata_Grabber_Troubleshooting" class="vt-p">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_Library#Metadata_Grabber_Troubleshooting</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I wrote a patch a while ago for tmdb, I think, which fixed it, but have since lost it.</div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone else ran into this problem? Suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>If the devs are interested in a patch, I could write up another one.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Daniel</div><div><br></div>
