Bug movie filename

I have a movie that has a year in the title (Fetih 1453).
The filename is: Fetih.1453.2012.720p.dts.mkv

This will not be parsed by tmdb since Serviio sends 1453 as production year...

Any workaround? Or is this possible to fix without a really ugly hack that checks validity of production year.

Actually serviio treat this file as a tv show and tries season 14 episode 53, which is even worse than I first thought.

Not sure if this will work, but try Fetih 1453 (2012).mkv

In a case there are other movies with the same title, but different release years, you can include the year in the title of the video (or the parent folder), e.g. 'My movie (2005)'.

Tried it, did not work.

And to Illico: That's what I do for all movies, I think you didn't read my problem correctly.

I ended up removing the 1453 part, now the filename reads: Fetih.2012.720p.dts.mkv
It succesfully retrieved the right movie name now, but I don't like this workaround a lot. It would be better if the filename parser would not consider four consecutive numbers be season/episode information, never seen that format anywhere.

I know this is a very hard problem, it's AI hard trying to parse context out of filenames.

Less ideal but call it Fetih (2012).mkv, and then I guess put it in a directory called Fetih 1453 for organisational purposes.

Its an edge case but maybe file a ticket to support using name="NAME DATE1" and year=DATE2 in the case of finding NAME DATE1 (DATE2)
