I’m trying to use the following string to rename my TV shows but it’s falling back to default.
%showname%%ifpremieredate%< (%premiereyear%)>\Season %ifseason%<%season%##,00>\%showname% - S%ifseason%<%season%##,00>E%episode%## - %episodename%

Here is the error:

I see what I did. I was missing a comma.
%showname%%ifpremieredate%< (%premiereyear%)**,**>\Season %ifseason%<%season%##,00>\%showname% - S%ifseason%<%season%##,00>E%episode%## - %episodename%

You can actually test your pattern within the Conversion task settings page itself. When you type in your renaming pattern, it’ll tell you if something isnt’ right or it’ll show the final template if it’s good.
