Title: Dealing with TV shows aired out of order
Post by: skarsol on April 09, 2014, 02:17:39 pm
For example, The Finder was aired horribly out of order and causes continuity issues if not viewed in the order it was produced. If you change the episode numbering, the filenames and info no longer match if retrieved automatically. Is there a good way to address this if someone deciding to watch the show doesn't know the correct order to watch it in ahead of time?

1. Set the [Episode] to match theTVDB.com
2. Do the metadata lookup in MC.
3. Change the [Episode] tag to whatever you'd like.

You can add your own [Logical Episode] or whatever tag if you want, but I'd just change them afterwards.  You have the original aired order preserved anyway because MC imports the original airing date from theTVDB and puts it in the [Date] field.

Nope. Not unless you tell it to
