Emby keep losing information.

[TheCollectorx 0]

Emby keep losing information like season number and some genres that i manually added into some series and the status of the series which i have put on ended.

I have locked those entries but over time they get unlocked and the changes that i don't want reappears.

I have disabled the function to updates the metadate after some time.

HI there, can you please go over an example? Thanks !

[TheCollectorx 0]

sure,the best example would be the mecha genre some series will get automatically when emby gets the metadata other times i add it manually to some tv shows that should have it .

and after a while they lose it

[Luke 40121]

How did you lock them?

[TheCollectorx 0]

each series has an option at the bottom to lock it to prevent future changes

plus i have noticed that some series lose the season information despite having the format S0XE0X

[Luke 40121]

do you have metadata files inside the series folder such as xml or nfo?

[TheCollectorx 0]

just nfo

[Luke 40121]

Have you enabled saving metadata to nfo files?

[TheCollectorx 0]

yes

Can't see it completely but I would guess you have a structure and/or naming scheme issue.  Can you go over the complete folder structure.

[TheCollectorx 0]

actually that might be it since the folders don't have the season number

let me try something

but shouldn't be enough with files having the season number ?

What season number is in the nfo file?

[Happy2Play 9449]

But from what I see it looks like a nested folder issue.  What is the structure?

it's garo (2005)\garo yami wo  terasu mono (2013)

it's like this because of tvdb they combie several series into one

initially i had them separate but then i had to combine them to get metadata
