Scraping Original vs Remake TV Shows - Westie1 - 2025-01-24

A simple question. With original TV Shows I use just the series name while with remake of that series I include the year in parentheses. I have been using TVDB for years. But now when I add an original series with no year it is scraped as the remake. For example, the original series of Van Der Walk (first broadcast in 1972) is scraped as Van Der Walk (2020) even with a parsing nfo file present pointing to the correct original 1972 URL. What am I doing wrong? Thanks very much.

Can you provide a Debug Log that captures that.

OK. I got it working. Not sure what I did. Surprising as I have spent 2 hours trying a variety of things. Strange.
