George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011)

I noticed that this work has a TV version, divided into two parts, and a movie version, in a single part.
The duration seems to be the same.
There is only a page for the TV miniseries on TMDB. Can I create a movie page or would that be redundant?
The thing is, I have the single version here, which pulls data from TMDB to be identified. Without using "s01e01" or "s01e02" in the file name, this file does not receive metadata identification. What would be the solution?

It would indeed be redundant, which is something we try to avoid. It's very frequent for content like this to be releases in two parts and a film version. The rule is that we follow the original release: "Television movies split into multiple parts and miniseries should be entered exactly as they originally aired on television. A TV movie originally released in two parts should be added as a TV entry with two episodes. A miniseries originally released as a film should be one entry in the movie section."
In the case of George Harrison: Living in the Material World, it was originally released as a two episodes series on HBO.
Adding "s01e01" or "s01e02" in the file name would be the solution.
