Hi, following situation: I'm trying to organize my "big anime about a rubber pirate" tv show/anime files. Since that tv show / anime is such big pile of episodes, I tried to organize my files in different folders separated by a finite episode numbers. I started with around 100 files per folder. i constructed this folder structure: [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX} [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 001 - 100\[100 files] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 101 - 200\[100 files] [...] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- 1001 - 1100\[100 files] [upper directories] \tv show name (year){tvdb=XXXXX}\tv show name (year)- specials\specials\[special episode or movie files] shown here: This file organization is correctly recognized by emby by sorting all files correctly into the tv show. Since I use the "absolute" numbering scheme, the files are usually numbered 0001 - 1100 and I chose the following name scheme: tv show name (year) eXXXX_[episode name]- [resolution][group].[file-extension] All files are correctly put into season 1 (because of absolute numbering) and specials which includes OVAs, Specials and Movies. Perfectly done until here. But now comes what i found strange: When i tried to add metadata to the tv show, only the first folder that contained the first 100 episodes was correctly enriched by metadata. Every other folder (except for the specials material) was ignored by the metadata collection and now only appears by file name. What I did to help analyzing / reproduce: Since I wanted to reproduce the problem, I moved some episodes from the second folder (episodes 101-105 in "101-200"-folder) into the first folder ("001-100"). After retriggering the meta data collection now episodes 101 to 105 are also enriched by the correct metadata, which means, that the folder separation works fine with recognition of the tv show relation, but not for meta data collection. result: Since the tv show relation clearly is found across the separate folders, I (maybe wrongly) expected the meta data collection to work just as fine. Am I doing something wrong or did I find a special behaviour of the meta data collection algorithm? Kind regards Roke

Hello. I've been trying to get this to work and I had to create an account and get help. I've searched all 3 or 4 threads around this topic and I couldn't get it to work. Everything is organized nicely in the Emby Web interface but not on the Kodi add-on. I tried "Perform local database reset" and then "Perform manual sync" but my TV shows spread across different drives are still showing as more than one. "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders" is already checked in Emby Server as well. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
