Issue with TV shows which start with a number in their title

[guill69f 17]

Hi all,

I cannot figure out what is causing the situation below and how to solve it.

The problem: multi-season tv shows like "13 reasons why", "24", "11.22.63" etc. just appear to have one season where all episodes are, and the season number is picked from the name of the show.

"13 reasons why" => all episodes in one folder "season 13"

"24" => all episodes in one folder "season 24"

"11.22.63" => all episodes in one folder "season 11" etc

Is this a known issue and is there a solution for it? Thanks!

Oh, yes, and there is one exception: "1899" has a season 1 folder

How are your files named and organized?

Hi thanks thanks for ultra fast feedback.

TV show / TV Show - season 01 / TV Show S01E01

One folder per season

Name your series folders:

13 reasons why (2017) [tvdbid=323168]

24 (2001) [tvdbid=76290]

11.22.63 (2016) [tvdbid=301824]

Rescan.

You mean with the actual TVDBID after the tv show name? If not, the tv show names are already set according to your model. attaching a screenshot to be more clear

fantastic, didn't know that. Hope it won't mess with my Kodi install. Will test later during the week end, that's all for now. Will come back to the forum later as i am (re)discovering Emby and have a few other things i haven't figured out yet. thanks again

You might possibly want to remove TV show name from season folders, as that number at the beginning + dash in the middle might be confusing parser, i.e. interpreting it as per-episode folder instead of season folder, so leave 'em only as Season 1, Season 2 etc.

Hi, I did some tests and removing the tv show name from the season folders did the trick, no needs even to put the tvdbid to the TV show folder. Thanks again,m!
