OTA shows are being put into multiple folders. How to fix?

[pryoclastic 6]

I am pretty sure that automation is horking this up but it could also be me.

 

The issue is that recorded OTA shows are being put into multiple folders.  For example, "American Experience".

 

Here is what it looks like in emby:

 

 

Here is what it look like on disk:

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings # ll
Oct  8 19:59 American Experience/
Oct 16 20:00 American Experience (1988)/

 

cd into the first "American Experience" directory:

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings # cd American\ Experience

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience # ll
Oct  9 20:00 Season 30/
Oct  8 19:59 tvshow.nfo

 

cd into "Season 30":

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience # cd Season\ 30/
root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience/Season 30 # ll
Oct  5 21:45 American Experience S30E07 The Circus-thumb.jpg
Oct  8 19:59 American Experience S30E07 The Circus.nfo
Oct  8 22:00 American Experience S30E07 The Circus.ts
Oct  5 21:45 American Experience S30E08 The Circus-thumb.jpg
Oct  9 20:00 American Experience S30E08 The Circus.nfo
Oct  9 22:00 American Experience S30E08 The Circus.ts

 

Episodes 7 and 8 have been recorded.  Now to cd out and into the "American Experience" directory with "1988" in the name:

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience/Season 30 # cd ../../American\ Experience\ \(1988\)/
root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience (1988) # ll
Oct 16 22:44 Season 30/
Oct 18 23:34 tvshow.nfo

 

cd into this "Season 30":

root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience (1988) # cd Season\ 30/
root@emby:/var/db/emby-server/data/livetv/recordings/American Experience (1988)/Season 30 # ll
Oct 16 20:00 American Experience S30E09 The Eugenics Crusade-thumb.jpg
Oct 16 22:44 American Experience S30E09 The Eugenics Crusade.nfo
Oct 16 22:00 American Experience S30E09 The Eugenics Crusade.ts
Oct 16 22:44 season.nfo

 

What I don't understand is how 1988 got into the shows name when clearly season 30 is 2018:

As you can see I have several shows that need to be fixed:

 

 

 

Any thoughts as to how did this happen and how do I a) fix it and prevent it from happening again?

 

Thanks!

Newer versions of the server will save using the series year as part of the series folder path, when available from guide data.

 

The easiest thing to do is take your episodes from the American Experience/ folder, and move them into the folder with the year. Then delete the American Experience/ folder.

Worked perfectly. Thanks!
