Awesome! Glad to hear this made things more workable for you 

As for searching "Chez Krömer":

This is probably caused by how "ö" versus "oe".
I have added an enhanced filter, to filter out (usually) garbage in the search results provided by the data providers (TVDB/TMDB/TVMaze).
If you disable this enhanced search results, you'll see "Chez Krömer" listed.

2 ways to do this:

1) Click on the little arrow down button, next to the field where you enter your search criteria.
From the popup menu choose "Search Options" and click "Clean up search results" so it becomes unchecked.
If you had "Chez Krömer" entered, then just press search again.

2) In "Settings", under the tab "Show and Episode Indo" - "Searching TV Shows", you can uncheck the option "Enhanced Search Results".

This is a good catch though, I wonder if there is a smart way to catch all these umlaut etc characters, so they remain in the enhanced results.

thanks for your answer :-)

You're welcome! 

I've made a note in my to-do list, to see if I can refine the "enhanced" results 

Hey you.

Next problem. Since a couple of days, my RMTV2 crashed and I had to start it again.

Sometimes it crashes after "force refresh", sometimes after I choose a TV Show

Did you have the same problem with the beta?

Hey 😋 

Sorry to hear you're running into issues again (and apologies for the delayed reply).

I'll have to do some more testing with "Force Refresh" to see if I can reproduce the issue.
When it crashes; what kind of error do you get?

No problem,

no error - it crashes down - I have to start it again. Later I got an error report of apple.

Its not always crashing down on "force refresh" - sometimes it crashes down after searching for a tv show.

Still assuming you're running macOS Mojave and RMTV beta 2.1.0.

Also assuming the older SQLite library (and I do not recommend updating since macOS uses it as well).
This shouldn't be a problem though - for this reason, the Linux version is intentionally tested with the old library.

Can you provide me with as much info as possible, since I cannot reproduce the issue here on any of my Mac's (granted: they all run 10.15.3 Catalina).

For example:

- the exact steps? (probably trivial, but I just want to make sure)
- are you using ffProbe/ffMPEG (eg. use audio/video details in the filename, and/or update embedded info in the files)?

Next time you get a crash report from Apple:
We don't want to send a report to Apple, so you can close it.

Next open "Console" which can be found in Applications - Utilities (not to be confused with Terminal).

In the Console window, on the left side, you'll see a list of "Reports" and one of the is called "Crash Reports".
Click on "Crash Reports".

On the right side of the window it will list some applications, and theoretically RMTV should be listed there as well.
Select the most top one for RMTV, right click it and select "Reveal in Finder".
The file there is the one I'd need to look at.
You can either attach it here to a post, or if you have privacy concerns email it to webmaster at tweaking4all dot com.

Hopefully I can see something useful in that file.

Different ways when it crashes.

most time it crashes down when I´m searching for a TV Show or if I´m looking for the TV Show on my computer to rename it.

Today, I searched again for Chez Krömer - but there are no episodes found on RMTV. Same with other TV Shows.

Try to send you the report.

Crash info is always good, as a reproduction steps.

Krömer:
Disable the "enhanced search" option.
The umlaut appears to be an issue ... 🤔 

Not sure what happend but since a couple of days RMTV 2 works fine on my macbook

I'll see if the problem comes up again.

I'll try to upload another beta today with some fixes, at least one of them addressing the "krömer" bug when using search cleanup. 😋 
Downside of cross platform is that I'd have to this for 3 operating systems, so it may take a little bit of extra work.

I would like to use Rename Ma TV Series on my Ubuntu. Trying to start I also get the message "Error: Unable to create sqlite database". I get that error with latest stable Linux 64 bit package V2.0.10 and also with the latest beta package 2.1.0-beta-Linux-64bit-static-ffmpeg.

My sqlite3 Version is 3.22 as this is the latest stable ubuntu release. I have tried latest mainline release 3.31 too but still getting the same error.

Under ~/.config/ there is not even a Rename My TV Series folder.

Hope you can help. Thanks in advance!

Hi Panp01392,

Sorry to hear you're running into issues.

The SQLite version 3.22 should work. It will try to create a database in this directory:

 ~/.config/Rename My TV Series

If that directory already exist; rename it or delete it - just to be sure (but you already said there is no such directory).
I assume you have read/write access to .config and that you're the owner of that directory (would be weird if this wouldn't be the case).

If all of this looks OK, maybe try creating the directory manually (please let me know if this fixes the issue).

On that note: it would have been better to have started a new topic in this forum 😉 

@hans Oh sorry for posting in that old thread. Won't happen again. Google brought me to this one directly and so I was thinking it was a general Rename My TV Series topic.

So I have created the '~/.config/Rename My TV Series' directory but nothing has changed. I'm sitting on a very fresh installation of ubuntu (well actually its Mint) and I think everything should be fine with that. I may setup a virtual machine to test it on various Linux distributions to see if it is a Ubuntu/Mint specific problem. 

No worries 😉 

I've just tested RMTV with "MX Linux" and "Clear Linux", and on both it works correctly out of the box ... hmm.

I used to use Mint, but found that Mint in general seems to be using old(er) libs, SQLite being one of them. Updating to a newer versions seems to be problematic as well. So I dropped using Mint.
RMTV has been tested on Mint though (even though I'm no longer using Mint), and I did modify the code so if would work with older SQLite versions.

Also note (in my observation anyway) that Clear Linux and MX Linux seem to be much faster ...

So I just did a test on a clean Mint VM (18.1 - just ran the full update as well, which took quite some time) ... and can confirm that Mint is having issue here.

Found a fix!!
Had to figure this one out myself as well:

You'll need to install SQLite3-dev:

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

That did the trick for me.

Note: don't forget to install OpenSSL 

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
