Trouble getting Fruits Basket to show correctly

[MustardPieCake 2]

So there's two Fruits Basket series, the original "Fruits Basket" and the new one "Fruits Basket (2019)".

Original: https://thetvdb.com/series/fruits-basket

New: https://thetvdb.com/series/fruits-basket-2019

 

I have a folder called "Fruits Basket" and I have a folder called "Fruits Basket (2019)"

The problem is that Emby is merging both folders.

It uses the new Fruits Basket (2019) name, the original Fruits Basket main image, and the new Fruits Basket (2019) season artwork.

For the new Fruits Basket (2019) there are 3 seasons. For the original Fruits Basket there is 1 season.

For season 1 Emby shows the original Fruits Basket, and for seasons 2 and 3 Emby shows Fruits Basket (2019)'s seasons.

How do I separate these two shows?

Either:

1. Name series folders

Frutis Basket (2001) [tvdbid=78900] 

Fruits Basket (2019) [tvdbid=357488] 

Rescan. 

OR

2. Disable Automatically merge series spread accross multiple folders in your Library settings, rescan, re-Identify one that was misidentified.

Option 1 worked thanks! I was looking to see if tvdbid was something you could do in the name but I didn't see it listed in the TV Naming article https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming

@cayars- I'm sure you added this before .. but just checked and OP is correct - it's not in there ...

Yes, for some reason this one doesn't resolve without extra prodding:

Note also that Emby will only merge folders it thinks are part of the same series if the setting in the library properties (per library) to enable it is ticked:

You'll see it soon with some other KB area improvements.

Ultimately both providers list Fruit Basket 2019 as first result on their api when searching just Fruits Basket.  

So one needs to ensure both shows have year on show folder.
