It looks like there was discussion in 2011 (when tmdb/rotten tomatoes lookup was first introduced as a feature, I think) about including the year a movie was released to help resolve lookups.

For instance, there are multiple movies named "Total Recall", so there is no fool-proof way to resolve which is correct without more information.  Year doesn't make it foolproof either, but much closer. 

The v3 tmdb api (which you should be on, since 2.1 is deprecated) allows for a "year" field to be passed in the lookup query (http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#search).  Can we get this updated in JRiver's lookup feature?  I'm thinking that if the file/folder name ends with "(yyyy)", that would be stripped off at used as the release year.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Maybe it would help if I elaborate on why I'm interested.  I've got a cablecard and premium channels.  So I use 7MC to record, which stores show information in the "details" of file properties.  I've got a script that watches for new files in the recorded directory (which has to be on the local machine due to DRM).  When the recording is finished, I can read the details and copy non-premium content over to my NAS. 

Since I have access to the details, I can tell if it is a movie or tv series. 

For TV series, I get the episode name (so I can include that in the name when I copy). 

For movies, I can get the year.  I'd like to be able to use the year to help JRiver pulll the best metadata, otherwise I have data to help disambiguate that isn't used.
