Cheers,
for a reason completely unknown to me, it sometimes scrapes a TV series as "Season -1" and doesn't scrape any data for it, or, it finds the show but doesn't scrape the episodes.
Then it cannot work it it either, it gives the error: "failed to rename episode XXXXXX - invalid season/episode number"
What can be done?
this happens when tmm cannot parse any valid season out of the filename.
In this case you have to assign the season number manually to the episode (edit it);

scraping metadata/renaming will only work if the episode has a "valid" season/episode number assigned

thanks.

so you say when an episode is called:
S01E01.first.part.mkv - is OK
first.part.mkv - is not OK
01.first.part.mkv - is not OK?

Update:
I have renamed the files to be S0XE0Y.mkv and it still doesn't scrape it. To be specific, it's the series North America.
Foldername: North America (2013)
Filenames: S01E01.mkv etc...
It scrapes it as Season -1

Now

I wanna change the Season number right?
Click on the row and select "Edit selected TW Show(s)/episodes". RIght?

Then there's a bug - it pops up the menu that is below (same action for both options) - "Change season poster"
remove the show from the database AND delete all created NFOs within that folder!
Then do again a scan.
S01E01.mkv is perfectly mapped...

(first.part.mkv not, and with
01.first.part.mkv we have just a valid episode number, but no season)

If they are just this 7 episodes you have, you might be faster by editing the show...
Then metadata scraping should be all fine, and a rename&cleanup afterwards perfecly cleans your files Smile

Is there a way to have the season/episode notation along with the episode name, if so, how?
check the renamer settings;
Default should IMHO already be "S$S E$E - $T" which should rename with episode title...
