Wrong movie, same title

[kandykarter]

Hey, first off, this script is FANTASTIC, and I've used it a lot. That said, I do tend to find it mixes things up a lot based on title. I have "imdb_id_filter: true" set in my config and it seems to check that, but for example, a lot of lists contain SUSPIRIA (1977) but the lists all have the remake from 2018.

Is there something I can set differently, or is this just how it is?

Thanks for the feedback - the list matching is definitely the trickiest part. Can you send which specific lists you're using which cause the problem? Will see if i can make it more robust.

[kandykarter]

Wow, super quick response! An easy list to test is https://letterboxd.com/bfi/list/sight-and-sounds-greatest-films-of-all-time

It contains the original Suspiria, but not the 2018 remake, but the remake always shows in the collections in Jellyfin (though I have both in my library and confirmed that both contain the correct IMDB id in their metadata).

[ghomasHudson]

Hmmm strange. I've tried it with both the 1977 and 2018 version in my library. Seems to pick the correct (1977) one.

Make sure your config is something like:

...
  letterboxd:
    enabled: true
    imdb_id_filter: true
    clear_collection: true
    list_ids:
      - "bfi/list/sight-and-sounds-greatest-films-of-all-time"

If it stil isn't working let me know.Might need to send some debug logs to try and reproduce your issue.

[kandykarter]

Hm, odd. I definitely don't have "clear_collection" configured, and my list doesnt have the list id's in quotations. Do you think those two options would effect this? imdb_id_filter is indeed set to true, as is "enabled".

[ghomasHudson]

clear_collection might help (otherwise the script will only add to the collection, never delete the 2018 version). The quotation marks shouldn't matter.

[kandykarter]

Hm, I suspect that'll be fine without the clear_collection part (i've been removing the incorrect movies manually, plus I have been adding movies of my own to some of these lists so I'd prefer to avoid clearing my custom entries), but I can try it if you think it'd help.

Either way, this isn't the end of the world for me and I might just try to live with it for now. How would I find the debug logs you mentioned earlier?

[ghomasHudson]

#55 might have helped.

[kandykarter]

Well, it didn't solve The Suspiria Problem, but it did vastly improve matching in general, a lot of mismatches that usually occur didn't occur this time, for instance Little Women didn't show up in my Sleazy New York list today.

[ghomasHudson]

Nice, thanks for the feedback - I'll keep iterating on it.

[kandykarter]

I appreciate your time and effort, this is a hugely useful tool you've created, thanks again for your continued help!
