Need to pull YEAR of S01E01 of a series
Posted: 04 Apr 2020, 20:05
After TheTVDB's overhaul last fall, I've seen many new 'specials' added which shouldn't be there, often with prior year's one-offs or other non-series items, that cause the episodelist.airdate.year(min) field to bring in a year that is wrong.
I'm working on cleanup of those, but meantime, I've done an overhaul of my collection and found numerous series with incorrect premiere year references (i.e. Twilight Zone (1959) is pulling 1952 as the first year, because of a related episode back in 1952 now listed.)
What I want is to bring in the Season 1 Episode 1 airdate.year to use as my series baseline year - i.e. SERIES NAME (YEAR-of-S01E01).
Is there a way to explicitly pull out the year from a specific episode (S01E01) to then use as a reference field in the rest of my format?
Thanks.
