    Peacock Movies With Same Title Issue

    Currently on Peacock there are two different versions of Dirty Dancing. I added both versions (1987 and 2017) to my queue.

    Since this module (among others) does not add the year to the file, what happened when trying to download both of these is that the 1987 version (and its subtitle file) downloaded first, and (I'm guessing) it downloaded the 2017 version but it did not save it, and it downloaded the subtitles for the 2017 version. I say "I guess" it downloaded the 2017 version because there is a difference of 34 minutes on the timestamp between the SRT files of the different versions.

    Would have included the log but it was accidentally deleted when trying to figure out a different problem I was having.

    My default name template for movies is movie.name (year)

    Wouldn't you be able to solve the problem by downloading one version then renaming it to add the year...and then downloading the second version...rather than downloading both at the same time.

      That is what I've always done. I even do this when downloading the 4k and 1080p of a movie from Max or Hulu, because of the same issue.

        It absolutely would solve the problem. However...

        Another module (YouTube?...whatever one is used to get from sites that do not have their own module, i.e. Starz) will download multiple files that have the same filename and add a ".#" after it to distinguish the two. For example:

        ThisIsAFilename
        ThisIsAFilename.1 (for the second file)
        ThisIsAFilename.2 (for the third file)
        .
        .
        .
        ThisIsAFilename.X-1 (for the Xth file)

        I guess I thought the other modules did that as well, but I suppose not.

        File this under feature requests? Please and thank you
