Add Support for Year in Filename

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV

The filename parsing is very good, but I’ve found one increasingly common format that seems to confuse it:

Show.Name.YYYY.SXXEZZ.…mkv

Where YYYY is the show year, X is the season number, and Z is the episode number. This is used to distinguish between shows with the same names. Real world example:

Star.Wars.The.Clone.Wars.2008.S04E17.The.Box.720p.HDTV.x264-Immerse.mkv

Please add support for this format.

Thanks!

Looking into it…

Thanks! I just encountered another format that doesn’t work. Year.month.day in lieu of episode numbers altogether.

Show.Name.YYYY.MM.dd.…

Real world example:

Craig.Ferguson.2012.01.16.Lucy.Liu.HDTV.XviD-FQM.avi

Media Player ends up thinking every episode is number 12, since that’s the last digit pair in the first range of numbers. It’s actually kind of funny to see…
