I've bumped into a bit of a problem with Mezzmo's functionality to automatically get movie/episode data from a file name. If the title of a movie or series contains a dash ("-"), this will be parsed by Mezzmo as a space (so for example, the series "Hawaii Five-0" will be parsed as "Hawaii Five 0"). However, the search functionality for finding this through tvdb or moviedb will then not hit its target - "Hawaii Five-0" will find it, and "Hawaii Five0" will, but "Hawaii Five 0" will not be found, and as such you are forced to go through each individual file and either rename them to not match the standards, or search for metadata for each file individually after updating the field.
I understand the reasoning behind it, as some systems will not play nicely with spaces in filenames and will use dashes instead, but in that case perhaps the search function could take this into account as it seems to do with missing spaces, or there could be an option?
