    Code:
    Series Name (2018) [tmdbid-65567] or  Series Name (2018) [tvdbid-65567]

    Thanks for that. I had found that neat tip when I went through the documentation and have used it to match correctly movies when there are multiple movies with similar titles released in the same year. 

    I am now testing with all online providers turned OFF for a shows library. In that configuration, interestingly, JF includes the [tmdbid-xxxxxx] string in the series name it displays. I suspect there is no logic in the code to ignore it because it usually gets overridden by the series name fetched from online providers.
