Something very odd is going on with the metadata and the cataloging of my emby server. As I update one piece on my server something odd has happened. Specifically a handful of episodes have been incorrectly placed in both season 1 and season 21. Episode 1074 through 1,085 show up in season 1 and season 21. Even after editing the .nfo file to season 21 for some reason it still shows up in season 1. I even went as far as completely removing the files and the NFO files and then re-adding them and and then editing the metadata through the option in the right click menu. But neither avenue prevented them from showing up in season 1. It's very strange behavior and I'm not exactly sure how to fix it.

I can not open Catalog and it always stuck in loading, but My Plugins is fine. So I can not download any plugins. There are some details. I live in China. My nas DS918+ is in my home that is far away from my workplace. So everyday I watch movies on emby with DDNS. play video is fine, download images is fine. except open Catalog always stuck . whatever I try to use my phone, ipad, Mac, PC visit emby.media or app it just stuck. I tried to use like VPN and then I can visit youtube but still can not open Catalog.

Is there a way to clean up or remove old metadata from the system. I have all my metadata stored on a dedicated SSD drive instead of with the files. I found it to be much quicker loading doing it that way. I used to have a library folder path for temporary files which i hadn't watched then they would get moved to their final location. I'm worried this caused a lot of duplicates. I've since removed that directory. Just wondering if the system auto cleans up metadata if the file isn't there or if there's a way to I can trigger it to it. I deleted the folder, but my metadata usage did not decrease. I've got 721 Movies, 12000 tv episodes, 3000 Music files. My metadata drive is currently 45gb which seems pretty large. I'm reluctant to delete a folder in my library and readd it as I went through and made sure each file had the correct metadata and photos(banner, primary, logo) Is that sizing normal? I worry as my SSD is only a 64gb as i figured that would be plenty.

The Plugin Catalog in the WMC app doesn't seem to properly download files from the server (Testing with EMC 3.0.315.0) . Basically I simply deleted one of my themes and tried to download it again and it basically hangs at installing the theme. This was brought to my attention by a user having issues installing the theme. I tried uploading a new version to the site and all seemed to process well but still it won't seem to download the file and basically just sticks a file with 0 bytes in the \programdata\plugin directory. This is not limited to my themes as I tried to install the backdrop screen saver and the cover screen saver and the same issues occured.
