Guest Brett_Dean Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 emby server Version 4.8.0.34 beta and Version 4.8.0.37 beta Recently, I discovered a bug. When the option "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders" is enabled, different TV shows have a chance of getting mixed together. For example, the first episode of eight different TV shows, labeled as S01E01, are grouped together. It looks like this: ``` S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E01 S01E02 S01E03 S01E04 S01E05 S01E06 ... ``` Furthermore, there are cases where a single episode, such as S01E06, has multiple versions associated with it, belonging to different TV shows' first season, episode six. I have tried a few methods, but none of them worked: 1. Refreshing all metadata and images for the corresponding TV shows. 2. Deleting all .nfo and .jpg files and then refreshing. 3. Removing the TV show from the library, deleting all .nfo and .jpg files associated with it, and then refreshing. The only effective solution is: Create a new library and move the mixed-up TV shows into this new library. Only the TV show that appears jumbled in the main homepage feed needs to be moved. After refreshing, it should display normally without any mixing up.
GrimReaper 4739 Posted June 11, 2023 Posted June 11, 2023 How are your files named and organized, as that usually indicates parser issue - i.e. something in file/folder naming/organization throwing it off.

Luke 42077 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Hi, do the series have the same tvdb id in the emby metadata editor?

To answer your question, I attempted to move it back to the original library where it would previously produce an error, but this time miraculously it didn't! Hahaha, thank you for your concern. If there are similar issues in the future, I will check if the tmdb ID is the same (I remember it being different, as only tmdb was enabled in the library). Thanks again.
