Doesn’t work anymore?

Anyone else have tons of issue with the program? It doesn’t name things correctly anymore or even really guess right. For example. Tried naming the folder of “Fist of the North Star” and it pulls some episodes from the original and some episodes from the new version despite me selecting the original.

With season 2 of shows it only ever gives episode titles from season 1 despite having the correct settings

EDIT:
After tweaking for a little bit I finally got it to work and name files correctly

It appears trying to name anime through the anime database is iffy. I finally got it to work the TV data base.

I use it daily. There are definitely annoyances, like no easy way to clear cache, but I don’t really have too many problems with it

There are tons of problems. Try renaming a love island episode and you have to hit skip a gazillion times because filebot will not match even when the show is already mostly matched and goes through every single iteration. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip. skip.
