tv series renamed

[Laffer98]

Anyone else having problems with some tv shows/series being renamed to wrong year out of the blue?

[Laffer98]

Further exploring my problem, it seems all series of shows, that are numbered by year, are getting renamed to a series number (that DOES NOT correspond to TVDB),  Dateline NBC really gets messed up
, renames and renumbers (different season numbers) every show.  I had to watch show and figure out the season and episode, then rename and renumber it to the correct one (multiple times berfore I figured out what was going on).

Give some examples of what you have and what TVDB has.  Are you located in the US?  If so, where approximately?

I just looked at Dateline NBC on TVDB and to me it appears to be normal looking.  I don't watch or track the show so I can't say definitely that what is listed is right or wrong but it looks pretty standard to me.

You're right, it's very confusing.  You only posted a few of the S25 Dateline NBCs here.  All the rest of your examples you emailed directly to me which is a shame because the more eyes on this, the better.  If possible please post them again here via Reply to ALL.  The Panorama examples you sent me are the most interesting as I have no idea where they got S66 out of S2020.  If I had to guess I'd probably think it was getting messed up by a wrong RegEx.

As far as what you posted here already, S25 files started off in the Season 28 folder.  Why?  Did TV Rename put them there initially or did you manually put them there.  It sort of looks like TV Rename then realized that the files were 3 folders off but corrected it the wrong way; ie. instead of moving the S25 files from Season 28 to Season 25 and keeping the S25 name it moved it to Season 25 but renamed it 3 less seasons as S22.  I've never seen anything like this.  Hopefully Sparky will jump in on this.

Here it is renaming and moving another show...

[Laffer98]

It's also creating empty folders I don't want.

[Laffer98]

one more example, this is where it created an empty Season 05

[Laffer98]

I have removed the "ignore" from  Dateline NBC to replicate the problem, and now it's not messing with Dateline NBC ... I'm trying to figure this out....

[Laffer98]

I just did a full scan and it created empty folders on every show....  Ignored my settings completely.

[Laffer98]

now its trying to rename a bunch of shows....

Hey Laffers,

Sorry you are having troubles, we'll get it fixed up for you...

Re Gardeners world then check your 'file name template editor"

Note the show names used when the {Season} tag is used

Vs the episode names produced if you use {seasonNumber}

[Sparky53]

Suspect Dateline NBC is the same issue as it does not have certain seasons (eg Season 5): https://thetvdb.com/series/dateline-nbc/allseasons/official

Regarding the creation of folders. It looks like the settings are telling TVR to not automatically create the folder and the screenshots are asking you to if you'd like to create them. I'm not sure what the issue is?

TVR creates (or asks to create) the Season Folder as soon as the season is created on TVDB (or other source) and not when an episode is added to the season
