Hmmm... I thought that might be the answer; I have tried everything I can think of up to now.

I did test adding a delimiter between the right-bracket and the Season tag; worked fine.
But I didn't want to have that in there if avoidable. Old habits die hard.

OK, I'll stick it back into the names, and just accept it for now. I can bulk rename the library easily.
Thanks much.

Unfortunately due to the lack of a delimiter in the filename between Series and Season there is no solution for this.

I've recently added my video library to MM4.
My TV shows are consistently named, but I'm running into one issue with the Auto-Tag from Filename.

Sample:
[b]Young Sheldon (2017) S06E09 -- College Dropouts and the Medford Miracle [2023-01-05] (1A,0S) [Comedy, Family][/b]
Mask:
[b]<Series> S<Season#>E<Episode#> -- <Title> [<Date>] (<Custom 1>) [<Genre>][/b]

Issue:
I want to include the year in the Series field - i.e. "Young Sheldon (2017)".
But my mask, which looks for the Season# after an "S", stops when a Series includes an "S" name.
It pulls in only "Young " as the Series, then ignores the season/episode because that mask is not matched, and then the Title & beyond is OK.
Any Series [u]without[/u] an "S" word, works fine.

I've gotten used to running the Auto-Tag twice; once with this mask, and then again with a different mask to fix the incomplete Series names. But I'd like to find a fix for this.

I need the mask to have the Series field look for any character string, which will always have "([i]something[/i])" after its name, but before the Season/Episode.
Essentially, the fix could be - for the <Series> field:
[b]Mark everything from field start, to the character string ") S", and then add on the character string ") S".[/b]

Any help appreciated.
