right naming of series with from years

[Taurec 60]

Hello,

i hope somebody can help me.

 

What is the right naming of series with the same name but from diffenrent years ?

 

At the moment i name it like this:

 

\\video_series\Nikita (2010)\Nikita - Season 01\Nikita - S01E01 - pilot

\\video_series\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg (1989)\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg - Season 01\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg - S01E01 - Pilot

 

\\video_series\Nikita (1996)\Nikita - Season 01\Nikita - S01E01 - pilot

\\video_series\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg (2003)\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg - Season 01\Der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg - S01E01 - Pilot

 

But when i do this the scan can't find the Metatdata. Ich have to do this manually

 

thx for help

P.S. please don't answer with: there are not so many series with the same name, you can do this manually

        I like to rename all my series folder with year.

 

ups .... sorry for the title of the topic

Like the above I believe. Bulk rename utility is what you need to rename them

 

//video_series/Nikita (2010)/Season 01/Nikita (2010) - S01E01 - pilot

Hi Spaceboy,

thx for response.

This is also not working,

and for some series the whole path incl. file name are to long (when i rename the files also.)

First question would be what is your metadata downloader order for series?
 
As for the Nikita example well technically you would name them as they appear on the provider.  But most same name shows only the newest one contains year in name.
 
tvdb
Nikita
La Femme Nikita

 

Same name example look at The Flash

original is "The Flash"

Current is "The Flash (2014)

Exactly, assuming tvdb is your default provider, the best thing to do is check how it is named on http://thetvdb.com/

Hi Guys,

you are right and i use this naming at the moment. (according the tvdb naming).

 

I see, there is only the possibility to adjust the assignment manually.

 

For information: with attached year in the proper emby the series does not recognize.

After manual assignment, newly added episodes are scanned correctly.

 

thx guys
