On another note I had 4 episodes from last night to rename and I thought it did fine til I noticed that it chose Matlock from 1986 for the S02E02 episode instead of 2024. This should not have happened since on Monday S01E01 dropped and RMTV renamed it correctly and added it to Auto Detect. I just checked Auto Detect and had matlock (2024) Matlock 1986 and then the TVDB number for the 1986 file. I have also just correct Auto Detect and tested and looks good. Found it odd that it treated Monday's episode correctly but not last nights.

@cccp64 While downloading your example files, trying to answer this one.

Not sure why or how but the the old Matlock (1986) must have been in your database (I'm just assuming).
It is unavoidable that this goes sideways at times, especially when they reboot a show decades later.
This is why I implemented the hardlink option.

Once the hardlink has been added, autodetect should work properly.
Without a hardlink it will grab the first match which would be "Matlock (1986)" since it would be the first result when sorting "Matlock (1986)" and "Matlock (2024)".

1) you can manually remove it from the "Shows and episode Info" tab under "TV Show Library".

2) to prevent this from happing you can "hardlink" the files to that show

You can manually link the file with the show by right clicking the file in "Selected Files" and choose "Add match from selected row(s)".

Or you can go to settings and and add the show title (or any text that references to this particular show) and link it to the proper TV show (2024).

@cccp64 Your Wormhole file getting stuck:

Worked just fine on my computer - which is what most developers would say 😉 
JUst kidding, but it worked without issue overhere (using ffProbe).,

I would need more details.
Like are you using ffMPEG, file format string, are you updating the meta info, and normally I'd ask for what OS you're using but you've posted it in the Linux section so I'm guessing this is what you're using, and I do recall having seen your username before related to some Linux question as well. But I do not have a photographic memory when it comes to details of each question posted on this website (sorry) 😞 

Note on the file stuck situation:

Managed to reproduce it by enabling writing updated meta data to the file.
Episode 2x10 gets stuck here on my Mac as well, suggesting there may be something wrong with the file as ffMPEG is struggling with this  (which is quite rare).

Try again with this option disabled (something FileBot probably does not support anyway):

Yea I agree it's the file that has a issue, and that could be for any number of reasons. YEARS ago like 1996 or 1997 We were popping in CD's and using a program to save the contents to the PC as MP3's and all worked and played great EXCEPT one, everytime that we tried to do that song it would crash the system. We found it funny that out of a couple thousand songs at the time that one would be such a pain. 

Now as for settings this is what I have now. If I understand you correctly I can add Matlock to hard links and not have it remove it from autodetect? I always thought using hard link disabled autodect.

Good day can you please answer my question? Thanks

As for knowing me I just changed my username, that's all.

Dude, I'm sorry ... I'm doing my best to keep with life in general (which is quite a challenge lately), and I only do all this in my spare time, so I cannot always respond as quick as I would like to.

Autodetect will always first look for hardlinks - just makes the search easier and faster. It links a keyword/phrase to a specific show (the show needs to exist in the TV Show History - which is done by searching for the show and getting the episodes. It will then appear in the TV Show history).

The hard links are listed under the autodetect options (Settings - Autodetect options - AutoDetect Hard Links), leave AutoDetect enabled.

So I'm not sure what you're referring to in that last sentence.
As far as I can see, you do not need to remove anything.
Optionally you could of course remove the old Matlock (1986) from the TV Show History (Settings - Show and Episode Info).

Hope this clarifies it.

Sorry I had had a particularly rough day with my partner. He had a particularly bad break from reality, and tried to turn me into a punching bag. Can be so lovely dealing with someone with memory loss. As for RMTV as far as I can see all's good now. Just wanted to double that adding to hard links wasn't going to change anything else. A for Matlock that's already been fixed. 

@cccp64 No worries, it happens. I took care of my mom for 3 years with upcoming Alzheimers, so memory loss sounds familiar 😉 
Good luck with being the punching back (sorry to hear you have to deal with that).

Good to hear the Matlock situation has been resolved, will tag this topic as "Solved" 😉 

Yea I had to remember how to edit series to fix it. Ultimately ended up just deleting it and adding it back with the correct info.
