Post by i10 »

My format for TV shows is {n} {sxe} {t}, yet recently, filebot ignores strings like (1) (2) etc. from theTVDB & TVmaze.

Yes, that's a feature, which is about to be removed with the next release.

You can use {episode.title} if you want the raw data. But be aware that while trailing (...) are preserved, so are / \ and any other special characters that you may not want in your destination path.

YES!
episode.title & replace('annoying special character','') seem to do the trick.
Thank you!
