Trouble with online metadata
Yesterday i tried to use serviio a little as it is designed and turned on online metadata.
Works fine for the most of my files an display the media in the right presentation folder.
But i have trouble with series files doesn't containing the title of the series and something like "SxxExx".
From documentation of the online metadata feature i figured out that in these cases serviio tries to get metadata with information of the parent folder.
This seems not to work. In DEBUG log i can see the following:
2018-12-01 11:53:59,611 DEBUG [TheMovieDBSourceAdaptor] Searching for 'tvs the good doctor dd51 ded dl 18p az' (language: de)
2018-12-01 11:53:59,893 DEBUG [TheMovieDBSourceAdaptor] Found 0 matches

2018-12-01 11:54:00,118 DEBUG [TheMovieDBSourceAdaptor] No movie with the name has been found
From my point of view there are all information available in the name of the parent folder (line 3). Just searching for them doesn't even work manually (in the browser). I think serviio is parsing for season and episode to get metadata by filenames.
Why not doing the same first with the name of the parent folder?
For now I used a tool for renaming my files with <ParentFolder>.<Extension> and it works instantly.
So my suggestion should work too and spares time and trouble for renaming files.
