...whew.
I don't know if this is something that could be solved with IGL. The new season of Castle started which reminded me that XBMC does not properly process it for display in it's "Recently Add" TV shows list or it's TV Show section.
I have IGL set to rename recordings.
I have XBMC set to scan my recordings directory.
This works PERFECTLY for shows without duplicate series in the past.
Example:
Almost Human/Almost.Human.s01e07.Simon Says -> works
Castle/Castle (2009).s6e11.Under Fire -> does not work
Based on my experience with other shows that have the same series titles and XBMC, it is very likely failing because NPVR's directory name is just "Castle" and not "Castle (2009)" as is being correctly identified by IGL in the episode name. XBMC finds the first show name "Castle" at The TV Db, which this one isn't, doesn't find a matching episode/season, and skips it.
Could a feature request for IGL be for it to also rename the directory name to match the show name as found by The TV Db (or whatever source it is using?)
