[Feature Request] Joined Order

[KryptonianWolf]

I was hoping we could add in the new joined order option from TVDB

Here is a recent example:

tvdb has split season 6 of Animaniacs (2020) into individual skits, ending up with 42 separate "episodes" instead of the actual 13.

There is also a joined season, where they are listed in their actual order:

In the specific case of Animaniacs, TVmaze will get the job done for now:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TVmaze -non-strict --format "{n} {sxe} {episode.title.slash(' & ')}" --action TEST --log INFO
[TEST] from [Animaniacs.S06E01.mkv] to [Animaniacs 1x01 Jurassic Lark & Suspended Animation Part 1 & Of Mice and Memes & Suspended Animation Part 2.mkv]
[TEST] from [Animaniacs.S06E02.mkv] to [Animaniacs 1x02 Warners Unbound & How to Brain Your Dragon & Suffragette City.mkv]
...

Thanks for that; it seems this is actually an alternate order offered by tvdb, and is available for quite a few other shows as well - it's not always referred to as 'joined', I've also seen it be named 'netflix', 'amazon', etc.

Seems it would still be useful to support, if exposed via tvdb's API.
