i have a weird problem, as i am adding tv series to the "G" folder the server converts it to a Series and all the shows become episodes of game of thrones. in the metadata manager it shows the "G" folder as Game of thrones. makes no sense cause i removed it completely

It's the contents of each series folder that I need to see, not the season folders underneath that. Thanks.

I thought so too till i got angry and deleted all of them, and they keep coming back. grrr

i think glitch 2022 might have been the issue. i just installed the tvmaze  because i think it was scraping wrong. but that doesn't explain turing the whole folder"G" into a series.

Issues like this are hard to find and usually that a lot of testing to figure out what Show is breaking the detection.  Most of the time it takes removing all content from folder then gradually readding shows a few at a time to that folder.

But it is possible

Do any of those have a video file directly under the series folder?

I can reproduce the issue with Glitch 2022. We'll be getting a 4.8.2 maintenance release out this week and we'll include the fix for this.

In the meantime it's possible that renaming it to Glitch (2022) might fix it.

Don't believe there is a case issue but trailers in TV requires a trailers folder.  And naming within that folder can be anything.

Trailers would work, or must it be trailers

Since i added the TVMaze plugin the error does not reproduce. i think a combination of trailer file in the root and not scraping properly caused the fail.it is currently scrapping fine and with the vid file removed from the root of the glitch 2002 folder, does not kill the folder structure.

Is that accurate?

Yes, it is. If using \trailers subfolder, trailer(s) within can be arbitrarily named.

That makes things much more relaxed when i am adding trailers. i was super strict about the naming conventions. Thanks

Yes the KB sort of needs update to reflect TV requirement of trailers folder.

you can also put multiple trailers in there and or clips, the only drawback is you can't select them individually it'll just play them in order, I'm assuming alphabetical order
