Also known as: scene name
The standardized string identifying a release, typically combining title, year or season and episode, resolution, source and codec, joined by periods. Indexers reconstruct it from subject lines and parse it again to work out what a posting contains. Because the format is conventional rather than specified, small variations regularly defeat both indexer parsers and the matching rules built on top of them.
