What’s ironic is that the Plex DVR always places the release year in the folder and file names. It’s moot since the metadata isn’t scraped from TVDB or TMDB during assimilation any longer, but I still find it interesting. It’s almost as if someone realized that that is the objectively more correct way to handle naming.
And something else which is interesting is with proper naming, and including the year, the parsing logic the agent uses breaks it down to show name, season, episode, and release year correctly; at least according to the logging produced. This is even in the cases of a failed match. So the agent is already breaking the naming down into its constituent parts before attempting the match.
I’m not complaining however. I’m perfectly happy with fixing incorrect matches if and when they arise.
