i have a weird problem, as i am adding tv series to the "G" folder the server converts it to a Series and all the shows become episodes of game of thrones. in the metadata manager it shows the "G" folder as Game of thrones. makes no sense cause i removed it completely embyserver (1).txt

I have (in this instance) 3 libraries - Two are self explanatory (TV and Film) and a third, which is mixed content Film (Star Wars). I want this Star Wars library as it combines both film and TV (I have other similar libraries for other mixed content franchises - ie MCU), and I also want them the actual media to appear in my full Films/TV library. The TV library of course just looks at P:\TV Episodes, the Movie library looks at P:\Film and Star Wars Library looks at both P:\Film\Star Wars and P:\TV Episodes\Star Wars. I want/need the films in their own sub folder so it plays nicely with Radarr, which seems to require a folder for each film. As such, the folder structure is as follows. \TV \Series XYZ \Season 1 XYZ S01E01.mp4 XYZ S01E02.mp4 \TV \Star Wars \Andor \Season 1 Andor S01E01.mp4 Andor S01E02.mp4 \Film \Film XYZ (1989) Film XYZ 2160p.mp4 \Film \Star Wars \Rogue One - A Star Wars Story Rogue One - A Star Wars Story.mp4 When I browse Movie library, everything appears perfect. Same for TV. However, the Star Wars library is only viewable in "Folder" view And as such the films appear as a folder, so then the movie is a level lower - You have to click into the folder and then select the film. This doesn't work well, it's clunky plus things like custom images dont work correctly. If I put all the films at the root level of Star Wars (ie P:\Films\Star Wars\Rogue one.mp4) it works as expected (see below). I also have a legacy documentary library that is set this way and it works perfectly. So what do I need to do with my folder structure to get this to work (as in look and feel like the above example), but also have the films in their own sub folder - as when I add something to Radarr this is how it imports it. Hope this makes sense - let me know if I've waffled on and you need something clarifying!!

Carlo, Many TV Shows have dual (combined episodes). Does Emby server support these - because it appears not to? For example "Star Trek Prodigy S01E01E02 Lost & Found (1) Lost & Found (2)" combines S01E01 and S01E02 into a single double episode. Note: I renamed "Star Trek Prodigy S01E01 Lost & Found (1) Lost & Found (2)" to "Star Trek Prodigy S01E01E02 Lost & Found (1) Lost & Found (2)" on the server (in the directory where this double episode is stored). This naming convention SnnEnn1Enn2 is standard in the industry. However, it appear that Emby does not support this. And because of this - and that E02 does not exist as a separate episode - after watching this first episode, and because the second stand alone episode is not in the show's episode directory, Emby did not recognize I had started this new series. It thus did not appear in my next-up list. Perhaps I am missing something here, and you have a method in mind for these situations? Please let me know. Thank you.
