[Feature Request] Replace - by : during scraping

Opened this issue · 6 comments

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.

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.
