TheTVDB Specials changing year

[jacobmix]

TheTVDB doesn't actually give a show a specific year. It gives every episode a date of release. Some times because of this. If any special airs a year before the first episode (preview specials or such) it changes the year back one. This can make PlexAniSync not sync some shows. Maybe check the first episode of the first season's year or such?

Example: The Troubled Life of Miss Kotoura (2013) ~ Changed to 2012 because of specials. https://anilist.co/anime/15379/Kotourasan https://anilist.co/anime/16636/The-Troubled-Life-of-Miss-Kotoura-Haruka-no-Heya/ https://myanimelist.net/anime/15379/Kotoura-san https://myanimelist.net/anime/16636/Kotoura-san__Haruka_no_Heya https://simkl.com/anime/37873/kotoura-san https://anidb.net/anime/9394 https://www.thetvdb.com/series/kotoura-san http://thexem.de/xem/show/470 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-12-11/kotoura-san-anime-previewed-in-haruka-ad-mini-episode

I don't know if AbsoluteSeriesScanner, and HTTP Anidb Metadata Agent would fix it. But TheTVDB works for me, and i got quite a big library to change how i name, and sort things.
