| | How can I remove the apostrophes from the following event titles that I added yesterday? They seem to be throwing off the match to Plex.

Also, are there ways to add add'l possible filename formats to an event? I've noticed that anything I add now has a YYYY-MM-DD format to dates recommended, but there are many events, guessing older adds, that have it as YYYY.MM.DD, and Plex also struggles with those.

There is no way to remove apostrophes other than deleting the events and re-adding them without, if you're willing to re-add them?

Can you give an example event of where this is the case so I can get a better understanding of what you're talking about?

| | 100% willing to re-add them - I'm also looking at the Plex SportScanner add-on to see if there's a way to augment the call to work around it.
For the Dots/Hyphens issue:
1. https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1136325 > I added this one yesterday, and you can see the 2007-01-04 format in the recommended filename (this works perfectly in the plugins)
2. I've set up an example by adding a duplicated record - use https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchevents.php?e=Wrestle_Kingdom_11 as the API call, and the first returned response will be the one I just made, second will be the pre-existing one. If you look at the strFilename parameter for each, you'll see that there appears to be some sort of REPLACE('.',' ') happening where the dots get swapped out for spaces, while the hyphenated dates stay together, and my guess is that's why some of the matching algorithms lose the others.

| | Thanks for pointing this out, yeh its actually a bug in the code for adding fighting events.
I've fixed it now and normalized all the other events with apostrophes.
I'll need to look deeper into the date issue, it should all be hyphens I think.

| | OK fixed the filename date issue as well on historical events.
Basically it was a historical thing and I have now normalized all events to the same format with hyphens.

| | Awesome! Thank you so much for doing that!
I'll keep working through filling in blanks for leagues I have that are already out there, but eventually I can add a good handful of additional ones as well, so will report back once I've contributed more.
