[Feature Request] Replace - by : during scraping #13
Comments
Today, if you change the title and resync it solves the problem in the scrapper. Wouldn't that be enough? |
it does not seem to fix it, it still grabs "Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (2016)" |
I'm sorry. It may be my English, but I'm having a little trouble understanding it. Could you explain the problem to me again? |
The concern is that when scraping data from IGDB, some game titles have ':' in their names, but during requests, it's replaced with '-'. For example, 'Captain Toad - Treasure Tracker' becomes 'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.' The worry is about potential false positives and fetching incorrect cover art due to this replacement in the request. |
Other way around, it doesn't seem to replace '-' with ':' and this leads to
less accurate scraping because IGDB expects ':'

A popular method of having : in a filename is replacing it with a - so during scraping, the application asks replaces it with : during its request.
"Captain Toad - Treasure Tracker" -> "Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker"
otherwise IGDB could match false positives and fetch the wrong cover art.
