Movie Discover failing with title that has punctuation

[robflex]

I have a movie discover configuration which uses a movie_list with entries it has taken from an IMDB watchlist.

Now for a certain movie about an "Impossible Mission" the title has punctuation marks in it, and consequently when used with the torrentleech search plugin, it doesn't find any matches.

The key portions of the config are below.

The flexget version is 2.14.21 and the config works for fine for everything else.

The template is as follows;

movies-any-quality:
    # DESCRIPTION
    # Get any quality movie.
    proper_movies: yes
    quality: '{? quality.movie_quality ?}'

    content_size:
      # Set Content Size
      min: 700       
      max: 7500      
      strict: no      
    imdb_lookup: yes
    list_match: 
      from:
        - movie_list: movie-queue

    list_add:
      - movie_list: movie-upgrade
    list_remove:
      - imdb_list:
          <<: *movie_imdb_list_creds

The movie discover anchor;

   _movie_discover: 
      discover: &movie_discover
        release_estimations:
          optimistic: 30 days
        interval: 1 hour
        what:
          - movie_list: 
              list_name: "movie-queue"
         from:
          - torrentleech:
              <<: *torrentleech_credentials
              category: [37, 11, 43, 14]  
          - flexget_archive: [movies]

and the task itself is below.

  movie-search-any:
    # DESCRIPTION
    # Searches for any quality-movie.
    priority: 22 
    template:
      - movies-global
      - movies-any-quality
      - reject-relaxed
      - movies-info

    discover:
      <<: *movie_discover
      release_estimations:
        optimistic: 150 days

movie_list is punctuation-agnostic as it utilizes imdb, tmdb etc. If the search plugin doesn't find any results, then that's a problem in that particular plugin.

[robflex]

yeah thats what I thought.

I was wondering whether there was a way to 'trick' it via a manipulate call or something.

Cheers anyway.

Ok so found the issue.

Torrentleech doesnt like the dashes '-'

Having a look at plugin source, looks like following change needs to be made:

query = normalize_unicode(search_string).replace(":", "")

to include something like:

query = normalize_unicode(search_string).replace(":", "").replace("-","")

[cvium]

Is it always the case that dashes produce no results?

[robflex]

cvium just did some testing.

So it looks like because the release does not have a "dash" it won't find it. It looks like the ":" doesn't affect the results (it finds releases with and without the double colons) but as soon as you put the dash in you don't get any results UNLESS there is a dash in the release (and most dont have it).
