The Movie Database and illegal characters in filename - skachr - 2017-01-10
I have tried to give the add-on "The Movie Database" a try, and have stumbled into a peculiar problem.
One of my movies is "Hiroshima: Out of the Ashes" from 1990, by director Peter Werner.
The title appears in tmdb as:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/47421-hiroshima-out-of-the-ashes
and in imdb as:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099772/
I can't get the scraper to find the correct title.
I can't rename the file verbatim and try a new search, as the colon [:] is an illegal character in any filename.
How do I solve this problem?[/size]

The movie db lists it as a tv program not a movie. Also there is bugger all info in there.
