Here is from TheTVDB site:
I’m guessing that it is parsing all the air days of all episodes including specials that may have aired prior to the official series premiere. I found this episode in specials that matches the date in the log.
I’m not sure if this is due to api differences that MCEBuddy uses versus what’s available from TheTVDB now.
**Steps to replicate the bug:**
Process a file with the name Rick and Morty - S06E01 - Solaricks.mp4

Thanks for reporting this, yes there appears to be a discrepancy between in the data reported across different sources. Have put in a patch to try and take the more reliable source when available.
Fixed in today 2.5.8 BETA build
