checking lazy lookup for None value

with the current tvdb problems i tried to check for when some tvdb entries are not available (when they are None)

so i tried different if conditions but none of them worked here is what i tried

if:
  - tvdb_ep_name != 'None':
      set:
        content_filename: '{{ tvdb_series_name }} {{ tvdb_absolute_number }} - {{tvdb_ep_name }}'

this check passes for some reason even though it returns None when setting the filename also tried those tvdb_ep_name is not None and tvdb_ep_name is defined but they gave an error!

is there something that i am doing wrong? something i am missing?

The Nones are falsey, and would trigger the fallback.

We actually change the boolean option of the default filter to True in FlexGet to cause that behavior.
