I am having tv series such as Mythbusters labeling seasons as years rather than S01, S02, etc...
example: "MythBusters - S2017E06 - Dead Body Double" instead of "MythBusters - s04e06 - Cell Phone on Airplanes" it never seems to get the episodes name right when it does this but only on a few.
I have searched the forums but my terminology might be off so I can not find anything about this. Any assistance would be appreciated. thank you
Labeling seasons as years (e.g. S2017E06)
Re: renaming question
If the SxE numbers don't make sense (i.e. don't match the database) then you will likely get mismatches.
Although badly numbered files are indeed tricky, it does seem to work out-of-the-box in this particular case:
TheTVDB uses 2017x06 and thus things fall in place naturally. TVmaze uses 20x06 but surprisingly still works, probably due to partial number match and episode title match.
Please provide additional file paths for testing that don't work out-of-the-box already.
