Since the move to TheMovieDB.com Series with the same name (but different years) are getting merged together as the Year is not included in the Series name on TheMovieDB.com

Example Series (V 1984/ V2009) (The Flash 1990/The Flash 2014)

What is happening is when viewing the above Series (and any Series which contained the year in TheTVDB.com) the different series are getting merged together because TheMovieDB.com doesn't have the year in the Series name... Example TheTVDB has the series name of the flash 2014 as "The Flash (2014)" where as TheMovieDB.com has the flash 2014 listed as "The Flash" meaning that since the move to TheMovieDB.com both The Flash 1990 and The Flash 2014 appear as the same Series, instead of two unique ones. The same applys with V, TheTVDB.com Series name is "V (2009)" and TheMovieDB is listed as "V", meaning that both 1984 V and 2009 V appear as the Series "V". When you select the Series you get the list of both Series episodes.. See attachments.

Only 1 Series of V is displayed not both https://drive.google.com/file/d/10b4NVPvoLtMJcP2mQ-6e3xQc8lJYkGRL/view?usp=sharing

Merged Episoded (Both V 1984 and V2009 listed under V) https://drive.google.com/file/d/10djPM1A5e_C06S6cK5fOlgA6d9M_vlyZ/view?usp=sharing

Fixed this.

In order for it to pick up, you'll have to delete all your affected series from your library and add them again.

Once 2.3 is released.
