Season title of "specials" season always resetted

[Multiverse 8]

Hi,

I want to rename season 0 of "Spartacus" into "Gods of the Arena", but it will always be reverted to "Specials" after every scan. Locking the title or the complete season doesn't help!

Hi, is this in a Season 0 folder? Does it have an nfo file?

[Multiverse 8]

Hi, yes it is season 0 and there is a nfo file.

At TMDB season 0 is also declared as "Specials" ... I locked everything I can lock, but after every scan "Gods of the Arena" has changed back to "Specials" ...

Could you post that NFO file?

Replace that season.nfo with this one and scan library.

season.nfo

[Multiverse 8]

That doesn't help.

I can see that after I've changed it to the correct name in Emby the nfo also is changed. And after the next scan it is written back to "Specials" ...

 

P.S.: At TMDB and TVDB it is also declared as "Specials" and both don't want to change it ... Are their DB entries the reason?

I can reproduce. 

@Luke, Season 0 title doesn't stick even with item locked, season name reverts to Specials after regular scan, not metadata refresh. Season(s) 1+ don't have issues. All three seasons have same NFO with adjusted <title>, <sorttitle> and <seasonnumber> as appropriate.

 

season.nfo

Edit: @Happy2Play, are you seeing the same?

Yes, you can edit it to anything but on scan it resets to Specials.

Will it be fixed?

Dev will revert.

[Luke 42083]

We'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

[Multiverse 8]

When can we except the fix? The problem still isn't solved!
