    Minor Issue With Naming Template

    I've been using StreamFab for several months now, and I'm very impressed. I've rarely had an issue.

    But I've made this account because I've been having this issue that no one is complaining about (so, I think it might be me). The "year" variable in the naming template for TV Shows used to be the series year. Now it seems to be the season year.

    Thus, instead of getting (for example):

    Show Name (2001)
    ├───Season 01
    ├───Season 02
    └───Season 03

    I get:

    Show Name (2001)
    └───Season 01
    ​Show Name (2002)
    └───Season 02
    ​Show Name (2002)
    └───Season 03
    ​​​
    I hope that makes sense. Basically I get a new set of folders for each season because of the season year changes. What I want is all the seasons under the series name with the series year.

    Am I doing something wrong or did it change? If the latter, can we get another variable that is the series year?

    Thanks!

    If Year is different for Show Name (in different season)
    you can't use the variable "Year" only for the first Year ..
    .. I don't use variable "Year"
    => Which provider do you mean? - any sample?​

      The template variable "year" for TV shows use to be the series year. It was later changed to be the season year. I'm hoping the devs will either fix it or add another variable for its previous meaning. It's the same for all providers I've used (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney+, etc.).

        Then excuse my “stupid” question - due to the lack of use of “Year”
        I did not realize that it apparently affects all providers that are supported by the template.

        The first test (with 6228) already produced your undesirable result.

        So I can't do anything for you (hardcoded in SF) ..
        .. except realize that it is not different as with SF 6219​

          Yeah, for the last several releases it's exhibited this new behavior (not sure when it started). Just wanted confirmation I wasn't doing something wrong.

          I'm hoping the devs will change it, so that there is a variable for both types of year.

          Thanks.
