Mylar error on very popular comic

[AtariBaby]

First of all, thanks for this! Woo woo! Love it! Where do I donate?

Trying to add "Fantastic Four". When I search for it, there is a search result for Fantastic Four (1963) with like 571 issues. However it never loads correctly after I add it. A page loads with the comicvine number but it never populates with the info on the comic. Says Error. Here is the log. Note that I deleted it, then restarted, then tried to add it again:

Yep that one I know about already believe it or not, and unfortunately it's not an easy fix. Here's the breakdown, when you type in a comic to search for - it queries ComicVine for the results. You can then pick which one you want to add. Once you do, it takes the info from ComicVine and attempts to compare it against comics.org. Now when everything matches up fine, (title, year and # of issues) it will bring down the data properly. If however, they don't match and Mylar determines it's too far past the threshold to consider it'll pump out that No matching result error. According to CV, Fantastic Four has 517 issues but on comics.org it has 416 so you can see the obvious discrepancy. I know that after 416 it changed and did some other ones, but Mylar's not smart enough to figure that out...yet.

I'm currently attempting to finish a fallback search. So if it can't find a comparable dataset, it will query the user for either more information, or present a list that you can add. Several commits away, but unfortunately it's the best that can be done at this time, and even doing that it can really corrupt the data because it might not be valid. And Mylar does need both db's - not using them both can quite possibly cause data integrity issues.

Yeah I read about your woes in another thread after I posted this. Please let me know if you need me to test anything.

As AtariBaby is well aware of this has been working for awhile now, with the custom_exceptions. csv multi-volumes.
