Numerical Titles screw up the library, i.e. 1883, Dimension 404

[smitbret 2]

After the initial install of Emby and the first scan through, I noticed that I was getting some strange folder activity for TV Shows.  I noticed that some folders weren't being broken out properly

For Example:

     TV Series - 1883

     Location - Z:\ServerFolders\Brettflix\TV\#\1883

This caused everything in the # folder to be pulled out and buried in a folder labelled "#" See attachment(s)

It's not just the numbered series, either. The same thing happened with the TV Series "Extras" that caused all of the <E> folder to be.....absorbed?  Also the TV Series "Dimension 404" wrecks everything in the "D" folder.

I have tried renaming the Parent folder(s) to something like "1883 (TV Series)"  but it didn't make a difference.

Does anyone have a workaround for this type of thing?

I would try renaming the folder and video files to include the year of release: '1883 (2021)'

What is your content structure for "1883"

But there are several topics on this.  Same/similar discussion here

Bingo.   Thanks so much.

Weird how that worked but titling it "1883 (TV Series)" didn't.  Still gotta learn the quirks.
