Leading "cruft" like [hello] in file name means metadata search won't work

Issue #713 new
Maury Markowitz created an issue

Subler parses the file name to pull out information like the season and episode, and removes common “cruft” like [BDRip] [1080p]. This means when it searches for metadata, it can provide clean names and season/episode.

However, this does not work if the cruft is at the front of the line:

[pseudo] A Show S01E01 [BDRip] [1080p] [h.265].mp4

In this case it sends “[pseudo] A Show” to TheTVDB, which fails. It does properly parse out the S01E01 and remove all the bits at the end. One has to manually remove the [pseudo], at which point it works perfectly.

As it stands, any files with this sort of name cannot be properly processed using the queue.
