So I have a few episodes of The Flash (2014) - TheTVDB series 279121
This series is a remake of the original and as such requires the (2014) bit at the end or it gets recognised as the original series (there are a few more like this - Battlestar Galactica, and the new Lost in Space for example).
Upon renaming these files with the naming convention as:
TV Folder Name: $N
Season folder Name: Season $1
Episode Filename: $N - S$2E$E - $T
The episode gets renamed as:
\tvMediaLocation\The Flash\The Flash - S01E01 - The Title
But it should be
\tvMediaLocation\The Flash (2014)\The Flash (2014) - S01E01 - The Title
Working fine for all other series, but anything with (YYYY) format gets renamed without the (YYYY) bit.
Using the folder name as $N ($Y) works, but renames all other folders incorrectly, which in turn causes my media players to incorrectly identify the series META.
TheTVDB identifies these series with the (YYYY) bit on the end but TMM seems to disregard it (https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=279121)
Is this a bug or is there a better naming convention?
