seashell 36 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Small bug I noticed. I have a TV show with a combined episode. I named it SHOW S03E19E20.mkv. It shows up correctly as a combined episode in media browsing. However, the missing episode button says Episode 20 of Season 3 is missing. If it matters for triggering the bug 20 is the last episode in the season. Purely FYI. Fix or don't whenever. If there's a more preferred way to report simple bugs like this let me know. (Assuming you actually want them reported.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Combine episodes have always had quirks like this but Luke should be able to see EpisodeNumberEnd in the DB. But A quick test and I don't see this issue but am still using xml metadata with EpisodeNumberEnd. A guess if you write nfo files with media would be the nfo does not contain both episodes or if you have nfo written that combines them then this is a format that is not current supported. Dual <episodedetails> in one nfo vs one with <episodenumberend> If you write nfo files can you post one for the dual episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell 36 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I use nfo files as in I checked the box to use them. I don't write them emby does that so it's whatever it spits out for an EXXEXX+1 episode file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37994 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi, are you sure Emby has it recognized as both? can you show a screenshot of the episode detail screen? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell 36 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 The meta data shows it as episode 19, and the tvdb id is for that episode, but it has combined the titles for both episodes as a comma separated list. My file doesn't have those titles so some part of emby recognized it as both episodes but apparently didn't create the meta data needed for the missing episode counter.

seashell 36 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 (edited) I just made a dummy setup as a test using your show. File Structure: TV -> NCIS - > Season 1 -> NCIS S01E03E04.mkv <= This is an empty flie Result in Web gui: NCIS->Season 1->3. Seadog, The Immortals Thetvdb says E3 == Seadog, E4 == The Immortals Result in view missing episodes S1:E1,S1:E2,S1:E4,S1:E5,... So it recognized 3 is there but not 4. For metadata It pulled the title and the overview for both episodes, but lists only one episode number and one tvdb id. But this should be a very repeatable test. Edit: And yes, it seems more a metadata generator issue than a missing episodes issue as it is not showing 3-4 like your 18-19 example. But this is emby's metadata generator.

seashell 36 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Strm vs mkv or windows vs linux possibly? I'll let Luke and crew sort it out. It doesn't really bother me so I wasn't planning to even go this far on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very strange, and I can’t imagine it has anything to do with windows vs linux or strm vs mkv Is there any chance there is in your case a conflict between the metadata source (tvdb or whatever) used to generate the nfos and the metadata source used to determine missing episodes?

The combined title by itself isn't enough. it actually has to have the numbers set into the appropriate fields. That's why I asked for screenshots because it would help us determine that. As things stand now I don't believe there's an issue with the missing episodes dialog in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all I do is make a file called SHOW E01E02. What field isn't getting set and why isn't Emby setting it? I didn't create any metadata myself.

seashell 36 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Ok, here's a brand new test case. This time copying a random video over to S01E22E23.mkv for this show that says that's the last two episodes of the season. I don't see what's in the screen grab that wasn't in what I've already given other examples. This is really a build your own example situation as we have one user, me, saying it only makes metadata for one episode in terms of episode numbers and and IDs and emby says missing episode for the second. One user, scb99, who says with the same metadata (one ep, one id) they don't show a missing episode, and Happy2Play that gets auto populated metadata with both episode numbers and IDs.

Your file is not identified properly as it does not show 23. But testing these same things here 1 hour ago, seashell said: Happy2Play that gets auto populated metadata with both episode numbers and IDs. You will not see the second id in the UI as it is a hidden field. But the title and overview for both get merged. So your server is doing something wierd as your title and overview are correct but the display episode is not. @seashellcan you provide the nfo Emby created for the episode.

seashell 36 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 Just updated to 4.8.3 and refreshed metadata on the few combined episodes I have and they are now all catalogued correctly and no longer show as missing. I marked the above as the solution but to anyone else that comes looking for the same issue I don't think there ever was a 4.8.2 release so the fix came in 4.8.3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
