I am having issue with metadata for starwars series specifically.

In the Movie Database it shows all 9 starwars movies in 1 collection.

However when it scrapes metadata it only puts the Episode 4/5/6 and the latest 3 in the collection.

It doesn’t put Episode 1/2/3 in the collection.

Further to this, the naming format for Episode 4/5/6 is ‘Star Wars’, ‘Empire Strikes Back’, and ‘Return of the Jedi’ all without the ‘Star Wars: Episode XX’ like it is for the rest.

I understand I can manually fix this, but wanted to know if why this issue is happening.

There are a LOT of what you don’t want in this listing, but most of what you do want is near the top - I hope.

These names match instantly - 'cause Filebot names them exactly like that at my house and they work perfectly.
