American Ninja Warrior is giving me fits. If you search TheTVDB.com for “american ninja warrior”, you get three hits: American Ninja Warrior (Show ID 212411, 2009) American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs. Ninja Team Ninja Warrior (Show ID 304813, 2016) American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs Ninja (Show ID 343…

just include the year each show first aired in the file names… e.g. TV Shows > American Ninja Warrior (2009) > Season 01 > American Ninja Warrior (2009) - S01E01.mp4 TV Shows > American Ninja Warrior - Ninja vs. Ninja (2016) > Season 01 > American Ninja Warrior - Ninja vs. Ninja (2016) - S01E01.m…

In the new - not so good old days - you have to inject the (YEAR) field into everything and when that doesn’t work you have to Fix Match and when that doesn’t work… wel…

I am having the same issue with Ninja vs Ninja. Any luck??

Thanks emreunal, that worked like a charm. I’m kicking myself for not trying that in the first place. tom80H, thanks for the help, getting a little bit of inside knowledge of the proxy bit is nice to know.

wow, that was incredibly useful emreunal. Saved me endless amounts of headaches.

Has this feature been disabled or broken? I am not having luck with it all of a sudden.

you can match with the tvdb id. Just type the id (343648) in the title field.
