Library Compex Folder Structure Identification Issue

[timstewart 3]

Hi all

I upgraded to 4.8.0.80 this morning, when my server came back online following the upgrade I noticed a problem with part of my TV Show library. I sort my TV library folder structure using complex folder structure A-M and N-Z. All content within the N-Z folders were fine and as they should be. Everything in A-M was being identified into a singular show which contains all the TV shows within A-M folders to appear as seasons. Also episodes with are showing as multiple versions across multiple different tv shows, in different folders, with different filenames.

I started splitting versions, hasn't helped. I've tried using the "Remove Identification" option to remove metadata, only for once it removes it to automatically reapply it straight away. I've tried switching the ordering of metadata providers in the library settings, manual metadata refreshes, library scans, removing any nfo files from the various TV show folders. I've done a fresh restart of the server post upgrade but still my TV show library wont allow me to to restore the shows that are within A-M folders.

Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards

I stripped the TV Show metadata that it had auto identified shows within A-M folders to appear as. How can I remove the A-M TV Show and allow all TV Shows within to display normally again within the TV Show library? Example below

What you're seeing means one of the shows contained in A-M folder is breaking parser - in most cases it's one one the number-titled shows, though not in all the cases. I'd suggest removing all shows from that subfolder, scan media library to clear the db, and then either return shows one by one or in batches to find the culprit (I'd leave 3rd Rock from the Sun and 24 as last to be re-added).

Thank you so much for your help really appreciate your time and suggestion, I will work through that and see what has happened.
