How to split two series that are IN separate folders

[auspex 0]

I have episodes of "Doctor Who (2005)" and the original series "Doctor Who" in separate folders, but they all show as "Doctor Who (2005)" — even season 26 of the original series, and the new series only goes to season 14!

Season 1 of the new series has 13 episodes. Season 1 of the old series has 42. Emby correctly shows me the correct episodes of the new series, then episodes 14-42 of the old series following them, and with no metadata.

So, how can I make Emby treat them as separate shows?

Name series folders:

Doctor Who (1963) [tvdbid=76107] 

Doctor Who (2005) [tvdbid=78804] 

Scan media library.

Even just with the years added works (that's how mine are arranged), but adding the tvdb ids couldn't hurt.

"Doctor Who (2005)" was always there, the original is identified in Sonarr as just "Doctor Who", but I had tried adding the year with no success.

So, I renamed with the TVDBID, and now it looks like it's slowly getting things right. It seemed to have finished scanning, but every time I refresh I see a higher episode count so I guess it's still working.

Thanks, guys! I had no idea about adding the TVDB id in the folder name.
