Yes, I keep a local copy of more or less all Doctor Who on a hard drive. No, I will not get into the particulars or ethics surrounding that. My question is only about keeping the series ordered in my Kodi home theatre setup now that apparently the show has started a new season numbering starting with the upcoming 2024 outing and, according to TMDb, also the current specials.

At the moment, the new specials (Children in need/Star beast at the time of writing) aren't included in my library, and I suspect it's due to incorrect naming. TMDb doesn't provide a year of first airing for the "Nu Nu Who" show, so I can't name the files "Doctor Who (yyyy)" as I have with the 1963 and 2005 shows.

Edit: I am specifically asking how to correctly scrape information from TMDb because the TV Database has currently not clocked that Doctor Who season numbering apparently is reset with the Disney+ streaming deal, and for that reason registers as a new show. /Edit

Any suggestions?
