Two Shows in Separate Subdirs in the Series (TV) Library Overlap

[JeremyR 11]

So I have two series in their own subdirs and when I view them on Emby, Season 00 and Season 02 of Mystery Road (2013) are in Cosmos (1980). I cannot see MR in Emby Theater or Browser. Also Cosmos (1980) - S01E02 appears in Season 00 and Season 01. I do not see MR in the Metadata Manager either. It is of course in the correct Series library and subdir.  When I cut MR to a temp subdir and scan the Series library, Cosmos (1980) shows up fine with Season 01 only. When I cut MR back to the Series library, it goes back to the configuration I describe above. The log is right after I cut MR back in and rescanned Series.

There's no "Mystery road (2013)" TV show either on TVDB or TMDB, there's 2018 TV show and 2013 movie with the same name. Try either removing (2013) from folder name or replacing with (2018) and rescanning.

Damn, the original MOVIE version was in 2013.  But why would it overlap Cosmos? 

Okay, set the year to 2018, cut to temp, scan, Cosmos good, cut back to series, scan Cosmos with Season 00 & 02. Take year off, repeat last, same results. CRAP, I remembered I hadn't changed the year on the episodes. I use Series Title (year) - S0nE0n - episode title for each episode.  Changed the year on all the episodes and Emby picked it up fine.

If it is a clear failure to find a series or episodes, it would be nice to show up somewhere like the metadata manager in red? Something other than stuffing it in a series without those seasons. Then I could get the key from a service if I didn't notice the year thing. I looked at my subdirs and Cosmos (1980) is the first without a Season 00 & 02.

Thanks for the fast fast fast reply!
