theTVDB and double year

Hello,

I like adding year to filenames of TV Shows and movies. One problem I've discovered with theTVDB is that sometimes the year is included in the actual show name. This makes scripting complicated since it will result in double year to files + dirs. This wouldn't be a problem if it was consequential in the database, but it isn't.

EXAMPLE

Shownames:
"Battlestar Galactica (2003)"
"The Witcher"

Adding '({y})' to the command will then result in:
"Battlestart Galactica (2003) (2003)"
"The Witcher (2019)"

Any workaround for this?

Use {ny} instead of {n} ({y}).
