<div>I have, and I've even been involved in some of them.
Unfortunately I've yet to find a good solution in 0.28
that actually works for disambiguating via a year embedded
in the file name. Each proposed solution has been
hit-and-miss, with no solution that works consistently,
unfortunately.</div>

For me, the following changes got me pretty close.<br>
<br>
1) Add the date of the video to the filename without parens. Ex:
Young Guns 1988.m4v<br>
2) Apply this patch:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/103/commits/f6d9ade62090d9cda84d2dc6172dc6f5d1400498">https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/103/commits/f6d9ade62090d9cda84d2dc6172dc6f5d1400498</a><br>
<br>
The patch allows tmdb3.py to support dates within () and without.
However, Mythtv will still strip anything inside of () so you can't
easily use it at this time.<br>
<br>
Together with those two, I had 95%+ success rate on my movies.<br>
