Hello everyone,
I have a problem with a TV show that comes to me labeled with a different season than what is within the TVDB.com web site. The TV show on TVDB.com has 9 seasons, however when I get these shows, they are 1 season behind (because TVDB.com splits up season 1 into 1 & 2, where as the naming pattern outsid eof TVDB.com combines season 1&2 into just season 1)
Is there a way to write an expression so that when MP-TVseries sees for example "TV.Show.Name.S08E02"
It matches the TV show name BUT increases the season to S09 instead of S08 for matching?
Thank you very much

The easiest way is to rename your files before they are parsed by MP-TVSeries.
Simply use an automated rename system that is compatible with TheTVdB. For example SickBeard, TheReNamer, FileBot, TVDB Renamer, MediaRenamer, MyRenamer, etc, etc. Simply add this as post-processing to your method of obtaining the media and you are good to go.
If you like to punish yourself, you could add a bunch of string replacement rules, that turn "TV Show Name S..E" into "TV Show Name S..E" and enable the option to run the replacement before running the expressions. Keep in mind that you might need to do them reverse, because if you change S04E into S05E first then the next replacement might still be activated and turn that into S06E, etc... So if you start off with "S09E --> S10E" and the next one is "S08E --> S09E" then you avoid that problem. Not even sure if that would occur though, never tested for it.
Hahaha! How did you know?!?American Dad, am I right? P.I.T.A.
I'll have to try and see if I can stop the cascade effect you speculated about.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a filter or setting to get rid of the _yy.mm.dd extra info?
