Enjoying boxee on my AppleTV, but having a difficult time tricking it into properly recognizing the new "Battlestar Galactica" series as the new series (this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407362/)) instead of the old one (this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076984/)). I've attempted to name the files "Battletar Galactica (2004) - 01x01" and so on, but it picks the 1978 version with or without the "(2004)". The fact that the new series has four seasons and the older series only has one doesn't appear to phase it in the slightest--it just ignores all files after season one. I can't see any way to force it to pick the correct version.

It's still parsing my library, but I suspect I'm going to have similar issues with The Office (which I have named as "The Office UK" and "The Office US") and Kitchen Nightmares ("Kitchen Nightmares" for the US version and "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" for the UK version).

Any ideas or suggestions?

Should have looked around for another minute before posting--I dug a little deeper and found the "wrong video" option, which works great and retroactively applied its fix to the entire series.

Good job, boxee guys! :)
