Missing files with no air date

Hey all. I keep getting this issue where the data at TheTVDB may not have an air date for a episode so the missing check does not pick this up as a "missing" episode. I know I can go and put the air date in on the web site, but I don't always know what that date should be.

Any clues?

PS - the rename works just fine on these files, so I can manually copy the file to the right location and use the app to rename it correctly.

No air date in thetvdb is taken to mean "not aired yet, so it can't be missing because it's in the future!". You can override this by editing the show in "My Shows", and turn on "Missing check for all episodes". All past present and future episodes will then be checked for being there when you do a missing check.

The renaming check doesn't care if you've got a time machine and somehow got hold of future episodes (either with or without a date in thetvdb).

Ah HA - that's the ticket.
