TV episode identified as movie but is unlisted

[nomatches4mikey 8]

I have identified an issue in my library with Doctor Who (2005) Season 12 episodes.  I don't know if it affects other shows yet.  

It appears at some point the episodes were misidentified as a Movie  in the database.  They do not show up in the season episode list.  However, if I search on the episode name, it can be found.  The metadata provided correctly matches the episode.  I tested saving the metadata for Episode 1, and it caused the episode to appear again in the season episode list.  The log entry on refresh shows that it had previously been marked as Chelsea FC Season Review 2011/12.  A search for Chelsea does not find the other episodes, and the title does not appear in the metadata manager.

I could manually fix the season, but wanted to log the issue in case others experience a similar issue.

I would move the entire season 12 folder out of the library and rescan the library.
Then remove any NFO files in the 12 folders.
Add back to it's proper location and scan library again.

Does that fix it?

What is the content type of the library in emby library setup?

[nomatches4mikey 8]

The Content Type for the library is TV Shows.

I removed the Season 12 folder and rescanned the library.  The following log entries were observed:

Info App: Removing item from database, Type: Season, Name: Season 12, Path: N:\TV\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 12, Id: 92635

Info App: Removing item from database, Type: Series, Name: Mighty Mouse, Path: N:\TV\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 12, Id: 112097

There were no NFO files in the folder, but I went ahead and deleted any jpg and srt files, so only the video files remained.  I restored the Season 12 folder to the show folder and rescanned the library.  It's showing up correctly in the front-end, but it's still being referenced as Mighty Mouse for some reason in the logs.  Full log attached.

Something weird is going on as it is trying to identify "Season 12" not "Doctor Who (2005)"

As you see here "Season 12" gets all metadata for id 78436 "Mighy Mouse", then queries the other providers.  And the other providers give you "married at first sight".

But with this identifying the wrong folder level, what content do you have in "Doctor Who (2005)" folder?

You also have permissions issues.

How many Emby libraries have you created, and what folder paths did you add to each one?

[nomatches4mikey 8]

The permission errors may be due to trying to process the files while they were in flight due to real time monitoring?  I made the mistake of moving it to my Desktop on another drive, so it took some time to restore.

I have five total Libraries, plus Collections and Playlists.  There is one Library for Movies, and one for TV.  Both of these have been expanded to two folders each.  The TV library, for example, has M:\TV and N:\TV.  The others are small and only have one folder (Demos, Exercise, Music).

The only files in the Doctor Who (2005) folder are the Season folders (includes Season 0) and image resources (season01-poster.jpg, etc).

I manually searched for "Season 12" on thetvdb.com, and the Chelsea FC season was one of the returned shows, along with Mighty Mouse, so that must have been affecting it originally.

I verified the series external id for thetvdb.com in the metadata manager is correct, 78804.

What are the folder paths added to the other libraries besides tv?
