Search for online Metadata dialog (cmd-shift-m) parses and populates show name from file name incorrectly

Issue #269 open
Bryan H created an issue

In two shows specifically, the interpretation of the name is incorrect.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" populates as "Brooklyn Nine-9"

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D" populates as "Marvels Agents of S H I E 50 D"

As a result the metadata search fails and manual intervention is always required.

    Metadata from TheMovieDB, TheTVDB and iTunes Store are outside Subler jurisdiction. You can fix TheMovieDB and TheTVDB data on their own web sites.

    The metadata from TheMovieDB, TheTVDB and iTunes Store are accurate, the parsing of that data into Subler is incorrect.

    To reproduce: Double click on file named Marvels.Agents.of.S.H.I.E.L.D.S04E06.mkv to open in Subler Click 'Add' to add the tracks with default selections Click cmd-shift-m to bring up the meta-data search The pre-populated data in the search dialog included "Marvels Agents of S H I E 50 D" as default search TV Episode, interpreting L as the roman numeral for 50 and and replacing all periods with spaces.

    The search options that work are either

    "Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." -or- "Marvels Agents of"

    Similarly, a file named Brooklyn.Nine-Nine.S03E19.mkv is incorrectly parsed into the search field as "Brooklyn Nine-9". A search for "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is successful

    In addition, a users dragging and dropping into the Queue would not notice the error, just the lack of metadata.

    I was wondering what information is used to start the search. Such as what was listed, ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine" populates as "Brooklyn Nine-9") where does the Nine-9 come from? I’m trying the function “clear existing metadata” but that doesn’t seem to cause the application to go based on the file name, the alternate name still shows as being used.
