bendyintc 2 Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Hello, after finding the tutorial on naming tv shows, I renamed my folder structure TV/Dexter - New Blood/Season 1/Dexter, New Blood - s01e01 - Cold Snap.mp4 and still can't seem to get it to show correctly in Emby. So I went to TVDB and looked up the ID for this particular episode and entered it in the box under the Identify prompt and it comes up that it can't find it. The same is true for doing the same via IMDB. Is the lack of information due to the way I have it named in Emby? The "TV" folder is on the same drive as my movies, does affect it also? I have the folder's properties set to "TV Shows" and have the TVDB listed as the first database. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Scott

Luke 42080 Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 HI, try doing the Identify feature on the series level and let us know if that helps.
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 I guess I'm missing something ..there isn't any "Identify" option at either the folder or the series (season) level. The only place that option comes up is at the episode.

Remove "Dexter - New Blood" folder from parent TV shows folder 2. Scan library to purge db 3. Rename series folder to "Dexter New Blood (2021) [tvdbid=412366]" 4. Put it back into J:\TV 5. Run library scan 6. Post server log
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 same issue ..do I need to locate the TV folder somewhere other than the same drive I keep my movies on? embyserver (1).txt
GrimReaper 4740 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 How many libraries and with which paths have you created? 2023-01-23 07:45:06.752 Info App: Found duplicate path: J:\TV 2023-01-23 07:45:06.838 Info App: Found duplicate path: J:\TV 2023-01-23 07:45:16.478 Info App: Found duplicate path: J:\TV

What is your movie library folder path? Edited January 23, 2023 by GrimReaper
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 just the one library with the one path ..I've done multiple scans
GrimReaper 4740 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Therein lies your issue: your movie library is J:\ - can't have library with folder that is subset of another library. Hence your Dexter items are being queried as movies: 2023-01-23 09:28:38.528 Info HttpClient: GET https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/search?type=movie&q=Dexter, New Blood - s01e01 - Cold Snap Transfer all your movies to J:\Movies and put that as Movie library path. Leave TV shows library as J:\TV. Rescan and everything will sort itself out. 1 1
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 thanks! my media folder is quite large so it will take some time to fully scan ..I will post back when it completes thank you again for your help! Scott 1
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 you were spot on GrimReaper! ..thanks a ton!
bendyintc 2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 one more quick question if you have the time .. how do I get the home page "TV Shows" to show multiple titles like the "Movies" one does?
GrimReaper 4740 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Delete that image (three-dot menu or right-click on Library thumb>Edit images), scan library.
pwhodges 2012 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Check your settings for the home page (in the user/app settings); you can enable or disable each library from showing in the Latest Media: Paul
