McKalips 1 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I have a lot of old tv shows saved as mp4's. I added my first series "Broadside" , and each episode played back correctly. Next, I added "The Westerner", and those episodes play back correctly. When I go back and select " Broadside" again, everything looks correct (thumbnails, episode description), but when I play episode 1, it plays episode 1 of "The Westerner" I'm pretty sure I have the files named correctly. I did have about 30 series in my library, and a lot of the episodes were " crossed up". Deleting and re-adding libraries didn't solve the problem.

Carlo 4329 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Any chance you can upload a couple of pics of your disc layout with these series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4329 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Are you missing a couple of "\" in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8216 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It sounds like your server is multi-versioning different series from what you have described. But don't see how that is possible with the structure you have listed. But we would need to see what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKalips 1 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm not really sure what you need to see, it's just that everything LOOKS correct on my dashboard,but the wrong episode plays. I don`t know if this is related, but neither of these libraries pick up any series or episode metadata. Are they just too obscure, or is there something else going on?

The complete folder contents would be best, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4329 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 @McKalips Any chance you could install TeamViewer and PM me the ID and one-time use password. If you get this and have time tonight we can do it now or schedule it for tomorrow or Monday. It could very well be something we can correct quickly. If not I can report back to those helping here the info needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution McKalips 1 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted July 12, 2020 I found my problem. When I first set up my library, I didn't realize that I was supposed to to add the "root" directory that contained all of my shows and I was adding each show individually. I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out, Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
