BBC films being named like TV Programmes (with Kodi naming)

[jefro108]

Recently the app has started naming BBC films as TV Programmes with s01e01 appended to the name.

See log for Hope and Glory

HnGlog.txt

Any idea why this might be happening now?

When XBMC naming is turned we use this format:
<.senum><.episodeshort>

get_iplayer is somehow detecting a series and episode number of 1, based on get_iplayer's metadata fetch:

get_iplayer --info --pid m001vgfb

I don't see anything in the program metadata that would indicate that the BBC gave it a series or episode number. I would file a bug with get_iplayer, since I can reproduce this outside of GiA.

Glad it's not just me then 😊

This seems to be still happening. Is there no solution in get_iplayer?
