themoviedb not finding movies with " -" substitute
#1
Firstly, I know absolutely nothing about scraping so my apologies if this is a this thread is demonstrates nothing more than my naivety.


As ":" is an illegal character for windows filenames it is often substituted with " -" (eg. "2001: A Space Odyssey" changed to "2001 - A Space Odyssey"). It seems that the themoviedb scraper doesn't recognise " -" ("[SPACE]-") as a substitute for ":" however it will recognise "-" (without the [SPACE]). Is this something that can be fixed/implemented?


Again, sorry if this just comes across as incoherent ramblings.
