emby is turning a TV Sub folder into a series folder

[HtRabbit 10]

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

embyserver (1).txt

Hi, what's underneath each of those four folders under G?

[HtRabbit 10]

[Luke 40022]

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

[HtRabbit 10]

Like this,    and where do these darn @eadir folders keep coming from, i am on a qnap. lol

 

[Luke 40022]

Can you show all of the series under G?

[Luke 40022]

For eadir, did you used to have a Synology? I thought it was just a Synology thing: https://community.synology.com/enu/forum/17/post/70878

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?

like this?

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.

[Happy2Play 9437]

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

I will try that after work and let you know

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.

[Luke 40022]

It won’t have anything to do with tvmaze just fyi.

[HtRabbit 10]

so.... glitch 2022 is really a glitch. LOL

Is that accurate?
The documentation on naming convention shows that even in the Trailers folder the contents are named trailer

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

[Happy2Play 9437]

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
