While renaming, the release group gets replaced by the generic “Drone” name. The release group is already part of the original name which was given by Drone in the first place. It seems it cannot detect it, except for episode 6…odd. I am currently using the torrent branch.
We made some changes to how much we trusted the release group, its likely that the release group for those files was dropped from the database because the source of the file didn’t conform to the limitations we put in place. If thats the case the only way to fix it would be in the database.
The file names you’re changing to may cause issues if drone needs to rescan the files in at some point, you’d be better of with 1x01 instead of 1x001.
Thanks for the quick reply Markus! So Drone doesn’t get the release name from the filename [release group], but from some database? It just seems counter intuitive, especially in the situation where someone would import and rename their previously named Anime.
Also, the only reason why I wanted to drop the seasons is because Media Browser doesn’t manage them properly if there’s more than one season. Here’s an example my brother gave me : http://pasteboard.co/tgLFruF.png The first season will be named after the show, because it’s expecting all the episodes to follow absolute numbering over seasons.
Yes, MediaBrowser needs a season number in the name in order to process it. The anime plugin for MB3 is bound by this limitation so in order to use the plugin properly, we need to add season 1 to the absolute number. See here for the explanation

It gets it from its own database, from when it was imported, but due to a ton of them being completely wrong we dropped anything we weren’t very certain were properly set.
You should use {season:0}x{episode:00} then, not the absolute episode number, which is what the 2nd link from @saitoh183 says to do.
The best numbering for anime would be something like:
{Series Title} - {season:0}x{episode:00} - {absolute:000} - {Episode.Title} then you get season/episode numbers and absolute.
I actually use {Series Title} - 1x{absolute:00} - {Episode Title} [{Release Group}]
because {Series Title} - {season:0}x{episode:00} - {absolute:000} - {Episode.Title} gives the end result of what Tamara posted http://pasteboard.co/tgLFruF.png which is all wrong for MBS since we need all episodes to start with 1x as stated in the Anime link i posted ( MediaBrowser will only correctly recognize video files which are placed into season folders. This plugin does not change this behaviour. If you organize sequel seasons as their own series, put all episodes under season 1.)
I tested with Fairy Tail - 2x01 - 049 - The Day of Fated Meeting [DRONE] i renamed it to Fairy Tail - 1x49 - The Day of Fated Meeting [DRONE] and drone picked it up and moved it and it was listed under 2x49 and MBS end result is
And Drone knew it was Fairy Tail - 2x01 after renaming it to 1x49? It’s all about knowing if Drone can reimport the Anime properly using 1x{absolute:000} (since that is Markus’s only concern).
