GrimReaper 3330 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Here's a funny one: upon upgrading to latest stable 4.6.0.50, all (I repeat: ALL) of my TV shows have no episodes under Seasons, regardless of number of Seasons. Episodes ARE present and can be seen in Series view Next up row or Searched, however NONE of them show under respective Seasons and cannot be browsed to in Season view. No amount of scanning helps. The only thing that works is taking the series out of parent folder, scan library, put it back, scan library. But I REALLY REALLY REALLY do not want to rebuild 1000+ TV Shows libraries (and subsequent chapter thumbs generation), so I'm extremely open for suggestions. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37246 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 And if you have a run a scan, how are your files named and organized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that really should not happen, as I didn't change anything, just upgraded to latest stable. And all the episodes are still there.

Standard naming convention, Series\Season\Series SxxExx. Again, all the episodes are there and can be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37246 Posted May 21, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 21, 2021 Try refreshing the metadata of one of the series and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would have to be localized issue or everyone would have this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Can you edit the meta-data for one of these episodes? Is the info missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a Replace all on Season 1, then Search for missing on Season 2 - both methods brought them back under respective Seasons. (Note: all my metadata and artwork is stored locally, all meta-scrapers are disabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 No I mean the meta-data editor in the web view. What does it show for one of these episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimReaper 3330 Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Anyway, did a Search for missing on another show on Series level - all the episodes came back into place with accompanying thumbnails, will do it on Library level now, it'll take some time but still considerably less than rebuilding it from scratch. Still curious. Edit: And thanks everyone for your prompt replies, support here is just unbeatable. Cheers.

I have used the REFRESH METADATA - SEARCH FOR MISSING METADATA option that has worked for some, but others have taken repeated attempts to REFRESH before they display properly. Have not done the REPLACE ALL METADATA option yet, but may have to on the really stubborn ones. It is odd because all of these have nfo files stored locally, so you would think a SCAN LIBRARY would work or a REFRESH METADATA, but not always. FYI. I did a REFRESH METADATA at the LIBRARY level for my TV Series collection, but even after this I was finding episodes not being displayed. Seems like it works best at a Series or Season level. But, most of my library is showing up as expected. I will have to stumble across the missing ones as I browse around to finally get them all cleared/refreshed properly. Arrrgh!!

Same here, all NFOs local, I thought that Library Scan would sort it out, didn't even think about Refreshing metadata, moreover since all episodes already HAD proper metadata when checked in Metadata editor, they just refused to be displayed under respective seasons. Fortunately for me, Search for missing on Library level did populate Seasons properly (at least as far as I can tell on random check), started with 20 items TV Show library, next on 200+ items, currently in process on main 800+ items one. Likely I'll stumble upon some rogue episode in the process, but that's negligible compared to the shock upon seeing condition my TV show libraries upon upgrade. Edit: The only thing I'm still having with issues is for Emby to properly parse multi-episode NFOs, as discussed here: Reading and writing of nfo for multi-part episodes is wrong - General/Windows - Emby Community Edited May 21, 2021 by GrimReaper76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to continue to browse through mine to clear up issues. I have done multiple refreshes and think that all seasons are showing in their respective series, but drilling down into seasons have also seen some episodes still not being displayed. For lesser visited series, you may not find issues for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to revert back to the .48 beta. Files can't play and almost all art work disappears. I tried to play a movie or show and it says no streams are available. Scanning the library and refreshing metadata didn't fix it. Something is definitely going on here. Unless I'm unable to upgrade from .48 beta to .50 stable? any help would be appreciated.

If you were on the beta, reverting back fixed the issue for me. There is some disconnect between the .48 beta and the .50 stable release. I wasn't even able to play files after the .50 stable update. Seems like a database issue or something, but I'm no expert. Edited May 21, 2021 by Jcheinaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37246 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Apologies for the refresh metadata being required. We did not see it in upgrade testing so it's based on some set of required conditions that we haven't identified yet, but we'll try to chase it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't wanna have to fix everything manually lol. Reverting to the beta worked for me. I tried rescanning the libraries and refreshing metadata on the stable release and it didn't fix anything. Thanks for the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that was update stable 4.5.4.0 to stable 4.6.0.50. Anyway, I'm halfway through bring it back up, looking good. My issue was kinda different, as I had (and could play) all episodes with proper metadata, I just couldn't display them under respective Seasons, i.e. browse to. But yeah, some db transition issue under certain circumstances obviously exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the database changes, I wouldn't even know where to begin to try and revert to the previous stable version, or even if it would have been possible. I have a huge library and fixing things manually would have been very time consuming. Glad you're getting everything straightened out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
