"ny" and "year" not working

[Wolfie]

I'm sure part of the fault lies with TheTVDb.com, but I believe it's still something that should be fixable.

Shows like Impulse, Manifest, and The Conners don't properly fill out the fields (ny, year), and I believe it's because the series information (on TheTVDb) doesn't have the "First aired" information available. However, the "sy" value still gets populated with [2018]. So, internally, if "year" isn't available, maybe grab it from "sy" as a backup?

Just to clarify, "ny" does have the name, just not the year.

The year value could be derived from the first episode from the episode list.

Though adding missing information to TheTVDB would be a better solution, and beneficial to other tools not FileBot.

Is there any reason why you can’t add the missing information to fix the problem at the source?

[Wolfie]

Apparently there is a known bug that prevents it.

I'll look into it.

In the meanwhile, this format snippet will do the job just as well:

Code: Select all

any{y}{episodelist.airdate.year.min()}

I added {sy.toString().match(/\d+/)} or something like that before I made the initial post.
