Z0m8ie 26 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi, I have a folder called "Scooby-Doo Collection" within my TV series folder. Inside I have multiple folders named correctly from the series, for example: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, What's New Scooby-Doo etc... Inside each of these folders I have the episodes named correctly, for example: S01E01 What A Night for a Knight S01E02 A Clue for Scooby Doo etc...My Problem is that Emby is not recognising or fetching metadata for these series. The only way I can fetch metadata is by putting the series into the root folder and then fetching the metadata, after that I put the folder back into the "Scooby-Doo Collection" folder. One problem I have discovered with that is when viewing actors/cast, it comes up unpopulated for every series?. Am I doing something wrong or can't you make a collection within a TV folder?. I would appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0m8ie 26 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 See the second example under the Complex Structure area: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/TV%20naming The link you sent says "Use the metadata manager to change the content type of the sub-folder to TV." , I can't see where within the metadata manager to change the content type?. Please could you tell me where I can locate it. Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0m8ie 26 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I still have no clue what to add. Can't the coders just fix this thing.... You have bought up the issue a while ago, as have I now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8279 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 All depends on how long you want to wait. All you have to do is use my example and set the path to your Scooby-Doo Collection. The issues is this is legacy/nested folder collection that Emby has moved away from. If it were a flat folder structure you could create the collection in Emby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8279 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Just need to add the closing tag </Name> that got dropped some how. Then I would restart your server and perform a library scan so that path gets recognized properly. You may need to delete the series or movie nfo from there if any were created in that path.

Happy2Play 8279 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 You will replace the </ContentType> tag (near the bottom) with that or you will added everything in between the tags as a new pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
