Hi,

I just noticed the The Pacific doesn't work well with TV Renamer. The reason is that, since it's a mini series and won't have a season two (unless, god forbid, we see WW3 some time soon), it's called the.pacific.ptx.release.extension, where x is the episode number. This deviates from the standard sxxeyy, and I guess more mini series will use different formats.

Generally, Miniseries are entered on the TVDB as a one season show. But TV Rename can't know if something is a one season show by itself. You just need to define that they're all season 1 episodes in the file name so it can handle the files.

If the files are currently named like The.Pacific.Pt6.release.avi you just need to change the pt to s1e so they're named something like the.pacific.s1e6.release.extension at which point TV Rename should pick it up and handle the rest from there.

"Use sequential number matching" might also work. I've never used it though so I'm not sure on that one.
