Emby won't let me change the display order of TV episodes

[pingrobb 2]

Hi All,

Since I switched from Plex to Emby about 5 years ago (rough guess), the metadata for "Batman: The Animated Series" has been displaying in the wrong order.  I ripped the episodes from DVDs that I own, and numbered them accordingly.  This seemed to work fine in Plex, but in Emby, the episodes have mismatched metadata, and the metadata is in the wrong order.  In the Emby apps (Web and Android TV are the ones I use), S01E01 is listed as "The Cat and the Claw (1)", but when I play S01E01, the title card (in the video itself) indicates that it is "On Leather Wings".  After further investigation, I found that the order of the episodes on the DVD does not match the order in which the episodes aired, and the best solution would be to change "Display order" from "Aired" to "DVD" in [Hamburger Menu] > Metadata Editor > [Library Name] > Batman The Animated Series. 

Before attempting to change this setting, I updated my Emby Media Server from 4.0.2.0 to 4.7.11.0, as I believed an out-of-date server might have problems communicating with TheTVDB.

However, whenever I attempt to change this setting and click "save", the change does not stick.  When I navigate away from this screen in the metadata editor, then go back to it again, I find that "Display order" still says "Aired".  It seems that Emby Server is not recognizing that I changed this setting, or has automatically reverted it back.

Please help me figure out how to fix this so that I can enjoy watching Batman without having to re-name every single episode which I have painstakingly ripped, named, and uploaded to the server.

I am running version 4.7.11.0 of Emby Media Server for Linux.  My operating system is Ubuntu, and my architecture is amd64.

Once you change Display order, you need to Refresh Metadata.

Is there any way to check the progress of the metadata refresh?  I just tried that, and I can see that the primary images for each season have changed (I had set custom ones before), but the episode order remains the same.

Is TVDB you top preferred library meta-provider? Post server log. 

[Happy2Play 9780]

Don't follow but yes TVDB is required.

Change display order refresh w/replace images

Under "Series Metadata Downloaders" and "Episode Metadata Downloaders", TheTVDB is the only provider checked, and it is at the top of the list.

I have attached the server log here, will enable debug logging if requested

How are your files named and organized? TVDB lists only 3 seasons for DVD Order:

https://thetvdb.com/series/batman-the-animated-series#seasons

so unclear why do you have bunch of Season 4 episodes, as in Aired order?

There's actually a fourth volume (season) in the DVD collection.  It is here:

https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Animated-Comics-Classic-Collection/dp/B000B7QCHC

Not sure why Volume 4 is not listed in TheTVDB, but I can put those titles in manually if I absolutely need to.

[Happy2Play 9780]

Overal TVDB makes their own rules so there are going to be conflicts.  But your specific issues with episode 1 should not be a issue as shown above as I can make order change.  But media still needs to reflects what it actually is.

 

The DVD order contains the original 3-season DVD order. The BluRay order contains the new 2-season order.
Season 3 contained on the latest BluRay Release is part of another series https://thetvdb.com/series/the-new-batman-adventures">The New Batman Adventures and will not be added to this series, regardless of how both shows are released on BluRay. As this series originated in North America alternate orders will only reflect North American DVD/BluRay releases.

Either way, I can see your refresh:

so not sure why it ain't updating for you. Considering it's 80+ episodes, how long have you waited?

To clarify, the issue is happening with all episodes in all seasons.  I'm not sure if the Season 4 thing is relevant to this specific problem since the setting itself keeps mysteriously changing back to "Aired" even after refreshing metadata.  I'm just answering GrimReaper's question to ensure they have all the information they could possibly need.

About an hour

[Happy2Play 9780]

Looks like that disc fall under split series.  So there is going to be conflict with these episodes as they are a different show.

This is the order i get when selecting DVD order

Batman: The Animated Series - DVD - Season 1 - TheTVDB.com

If these are mixed then all episode outside the range to provider data will protentially get no data or wrong data.

[pingrobb 2]

Another thing: when I go to the series (on web), click "Edit Metadata", then change "Display order" from "Aired" to "DVD" and click "Save", a message appears at the bottom of the screen that says "Item Saved".

However, when I click "Edit Metadata" again, the "Display Order" still says "Aired", even though it should say "DVD".  It's like the setting has instantly reverted itself back to "Aired", or the change hasn't taken effect at all.

I'll get around to moving Season 4 to a different series folder.  Right now, I'd just like to focus on correcting Seasons 1-3.  I'm sad, I'm tired, and I just want to watch some Batman before I go to bed.

Minus a browser/client issue can't reproduce an issue changing Display and it staying to what I set it to in 4.7 or 4.8.

By chance is the series Locked?  But still can't get UI to no make changes.

I don't see any locks in the series or season.

Is there a way to remove all locks for the series and its seasons en masse?  Just to be sure there isn't a lock somewhere that I might've missed?

[pingrobb 2]

Btw, just tried to change the same setting again in an Edge InPrivate Window (Different Browser, no cookies/cache/etc).  Same thing happened.

I guess you can go to the Episodes tab and filter Locked.  But locking at series level and unlocking propagates to all levels.

You can try and delete its content and Refresh the Series.

Do you write nfo files?  If so can you post the content of the tvshow.nfo.

I guess you could try manually changing <displayorder>dvd</displayorder> in nfo file and doing a library scan.

You, sir, are a genius!

After performing an ls of the folder you mentioned, I remembered that I had been using .nfo files (stored alongside the video files themselves) to store the metadata for my Movies and TV shows.  I did this because I thought this would make it easier to recover metadata later in case of a server failure, or migrate everything (including metadata) to another platform if necessary.  

I had "Nfo" checked under "Metadata Readers".  Unchecking this and changing the setting one more time solved the problem.

I apologize for missing something that probably should've been obvious to me.  Will be deleting the .Nfo files from the Batman The Animated Series folder before turning the Nfo reader back on.

Thank y'all so much for baring with me and helping me out!  Hope y'all have a good night!
