This problem has suddenly appeared and I can't figure out why.

The way my files are named has not changed and it has always worked before.

One strange thing is that if I import new (just downloaded) tv shows I get this problem, but if I then move the new files up to the parent folder and re-import it will work as expected (Just the series in the series field)
If I manually edit the field with the problem and save the metadata to a new sidecar file the file won't give me problems anymore, but that is obviously because MC prefers the sidecar to using Carnac I guess.

Could you provide a full filename we could test (including drive, path, and name)?

Thanks.

Not to pile on Carnac, because I think he's been doing a great job, but Mr. C interprets the second half of the fifth season of BB (S5-2) as S2.  Since MM has just committed for a two-part final season, I think we have reason to tremble.

Again, Carnac really has been making life easier.

Sorry for the slow reply.

Here's a screenshot showing both the problem and paths.

Here is a screenshot that shows the content of the folder of E01.

And here is one showing that it has also put the episode name in the series field.
I also included my auto-import settings for that particular drive to show there is nothing special going on there.

The path and filename is: F:\USENET\Shows\The.Bridge.US.S01E11.Take.the.Ride.Pay.the.Toll.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-BS\The.Bridge.US.S01E11.Take.the.Ride.Pay.the.Toll.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-BS.mkv

Still doing it.

The path and filename is: F:\USENET\Shows\The.Bridge.US.S01E11.Take.the.Ride.Pay.the.Toll.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-BS\The.Bridge.US.S01E11.Take.the.Ride.Pay.the.Toll.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-BS.mkv

Carnac doesn't like it too much when you use:
Shows\Episode Stuff\Episode Stuff.mkv

More typical is:
Shows\Series Stuff (optionally season stuff)\Episode Stuff.mkv

Or
Shows\Episode Stuff.mkv


I'll try to make Carnac handle "Shows\Episode Stuff\Episode Stuff.mkv" better.

I just thought that it had to be a new bug, since I have been using MC since early 17 and this has never happened before.
My folder structure has been this way the whole time.

I've just started to use sickbeard which places the video files in folders named after the show with a flat structure inside.  Like d:\Shows\The Bridge (US) \The Bridge US S01E01.mkv so I guess I won't see the problem much going forward. I found it works as advertised with this structure :-)

Next build:
Changed: Carnac better deals with TV show filenames that use the full episode name (including season and series) as their folder name instead of using a series folder.
