Michael K 1 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Attached is a metadata file, no there is not a season number, only an episode number. Has there been a change in the way the new version of the server interprets the metadata file? 3rd Rock from the Sun - 01x01 Brains and Eggs.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yes. So what's happening is you have bad metadata, and by not allowing emby to overwrite it, you are preventing it from getting fixed. The server used to auto-correct this on the fly but I removed some of that as part of the performance work. So now it basically treats each episode as a standalone record. I will have to put some of the auto-correction back in. Hopefully the users with nice and clean metadata won't be upset with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael K 1 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 LOL...thanks for making me feel good :-) Any chance it can be a toggle on/off in the server settings so performance isn't compromised for users with good metadata? I don't want to be the reason for poor performance for other users :-) Thank you for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8304 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 But at the same time a library refresh should resolve all your issues with incomplete metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael K 1 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I don't use the "download artwork and metadata from the internet setting" built into the server (not selected). I use MediaScout to pull metadata from thetvdb.com and store it in the folder locally. For my purposes it gave me better control of my metadata.

Happy2Play 8304 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 So to me the only way your metadata will work properly is if Emby is reading the <EpisodeID>84299</EpisodeID> from your existing metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Please try the beta version from the website and let me know if it brings your episodes back. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodler 18 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 On Version 3.0.5972.0 this problem still exists. As you can see from the screen captures. The episode is added and shows on the main page but it is not accessible from the show's page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael K 1 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hi Luke, With release 3.1.5999.20120, it happens again that the episodes do not display when the season is missing. Was something changed with the metadata fetcher? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was something changed with the metadata fetcher? Thanks. Have you performed a clean database? I should bring back your flat series structure. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35590-seasons-missing-after-server-update/?p=335581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlionblue 80 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Had this same problem of season being blank appear with latest beta update. Version 3.1.10.0. Happens in every client and also the web console. Rescanning fixed it but a couple hours later the problem was back... Logs here.

Starlionblue 80 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Had this problem again with the latest update, but with a twist. In some but not all of my content folders, TV shows had seasons but no episodes. After rebuilding the database, refreshing metadata and a bunch of other stuff without success, I noticed that shows in "mixed content" libraries were the ones that didn't wok. Metadata Manager showed these as having content type "inherit". Setting the content type to "TV" and refreshing the metadata made the episodes show up again. MAybe in previous versions any folder with season sub folders was read as a TV series, but this new version only sees the content type?
