Thanks for the clarification.

Sadly, this will have really huge side effects not just to my impl it will also effect afaik the following huge agents

- plex anime scanner and the related agents.
- all youtube agents that relies on content id for matching.

I would ask that you consider at least the nfo file during scanning to at least give user some control before you remove support for old agents.

Thank you for your time and sorry for bothering you.
