How to merge multiple anime episodes into one season

[KizunerE 0]

In some long anime series, metadata websites like TVDB divide the series into separate seasons based on the anime plot. However, these are not really “seasons”. If you put all episodes in one folder, Emby will only match the data for the first few episodes, because other data is distributed in other seasons. If you create multiple season folders according to the metadata website, it will be too cumbersome and inconvenient to watch. Is there any way to solve this problem? This phenomenon is very common in anime series.

I found that the "episodes " in the navigation bar can display all episodes, but it only displays when browsing all items. Is there a way to add the "episodes" page in the series, or add custom filter options in the "episodes " page? 

this is sample animeDB

NARUTO－ナルト－ 疾風伝 - TheTVDB.com

Yes. Put all episodes into Season 1 folder (appropriately named S01E01 to S01Exxx), select Display Order: Absolute on Series level, Refresh Metadata.

There is another question, the right-click option of a specific episode has a function is "Go to season", which is often used in long series. Is there a more convenient way to trigger this function?

Hi, what more convenient way would you like?

Thank you for addressing this issue.
I'd like to add a "GO to Season" button on the season title for single-season series, as multiple-season series are displayed by default in a list format.

 

Additionally, I propose adding a "GO to Season" button on episode pages for quick access to the episode list.

 

This way, users can easily navigate to the episode list in both of these commonly used scenarios.

 

I've tried adding the button myself using a JavaScript script, but given my technical skills, I just can't seem to locate the source code for this button. haha....

So the first option on the list (User icon-app settings-Display setting near the bottom)
