The update is working for me - granted I didn't test everything, but it's working great so far

I have 1 problem, been having it ever since I started using this amazing application. It's not a major problem, but I just thought I should throw it out there.

I have duplicated series. I have 2 of the same series in MC. Reason being, for the currently airing series that I'm collecting, I collect by seasons.
For example The Walking Dead. I have this series in one directory with seasons 1 to 5. I have the same series in another directory where new episodes are added. In MC, I see both series fine, but the seasons and episodes are duplicated because the series is duplicated. I can't differentiate which series belong to which directory. I had to add the 2nd directory, because whenever I have to refresh Kodi - it does happen - I would have to mark them as watched again.

One of the reasons why I had to do this is because some of the collected series are .strm files, but the newly added files are media files. Don't want to mix them up.
Also, the media files are automatically scanned daily for subtitles and I would get banned for searching for batch subtitles repeatedly.

Directory 1
The Walking Dead
Season 1
Episodes 1, 2, 3...
Season 2
Episodes 1, 2, 3...
Season 3
Episodes 1, 2, 3...
Season 4
Episodes 1, 2, 3...
Season 5
Episodes 1, 2, 3...

Directory 2
The Walking Dead
Season 6 Episode 1, 2, 3....

Unfortunately, Media Companion will always see this as two separate series and list accordingly.
And, as the current code stands, I can't get this to change as it goes down to the core coding in regards to folder structure when Media Companion finds the tvshow.nfo and also how we bind series and episodes together, by the tvdb series ID.
Your alternative option would be to have profiles in Media Companion, and have your current series in a second profile. This would avoid displaying duplicate series and duplicate episodes.

Edit:
I'll have another look at the code, see if there is anyway I can get around the core structure, but can't promise anything.
