Tvdb titles a record in the show's own language and keeps the English name in
aliases the name search never reads, so the rule that accepts only tvdb's own
spelling of a query can never resolve them: ブラッククローバー (331753) holds no
alias at all, and the bare alias "One Piece" belongs to 392276, the 2023 live
action, not to the 1999 record (81797) that 1,072-file pack is. Seventeen pack
folders on the array — 3,507 files — are in that class.
media-shows.py now reads scripts/media-shows-tvdb-ids.tsv by default: one line
per pack folder, folder <TAB> tvdb id <TAB> note, every id read from tvdb's own
record. The map outranks a provider id, because a box set's provider id is the
server's own guess at a folder name, and it merges the release folders that are
one show. Everything it touched goes to the exceptions: every folder it named,
every row that matched no folder, every disagreement with a provider id, every id
tvdb never answered. The file is read fail-closed — an id that is not a number,
or one folder named twice, stops the plan, because a typo there renames a pack of
1,268 files to the wrong show.
scripts/media-shows-tvdb.py is the sheet the map was built from, promoted out of
/tmp so the next run is reproducible: it reads a plan's mkdir rows, asks tvdb
about every destination folder carrying no [tvdbid-], and grades the answer
EXACT / PUNCT / NEAR / NONE by how much was guessed to reach it. Acceptance is
unchanged from the passes it replaces — bare-form equality plus the year-span
guard — and that gate is what rejected three confident picks: Fairy Tail's 2024
sequel (410031), the 2026 Hokuto no Ken remake (465216) and Mugyutto! Black
Clover (378762) offered for Black Clover. The sheet is for the operator; the map
is what the planner reads, and only after he approves the rows.
Tests: seven for the map's behaviour — rename to the record it names, two release
folders becoming one series, precedence over a provider id and the line stating
the disagreement, an id tvdb never answered, a row whose folder is gone, a
malformed id refusing the run, a folder named twice refusing the run — plus one
that the shipped file parses and never stops a plan.
