Contend TV Shows merged

[rawzef 2]

Hi Community, I tried to find a solution in the forum but didn't succeed. I have a problem with the tv show Cosmos: A spacetime Odyssey and Cosmos: Possible Words, when they are in the catalog as one TV Show because emby merge them and inside each episode it shows as there are two versions.

I tried the following:

• Change the folders name and omit the word cosmos, so I named them A spacetime Odyssey and Possible Words. Didn't work
• Split the versions, but it just two separate episodes of the "same" episode, I mean episode 1 two times, episode 2 two times, and so on.
• Create one main Cosmos folder, inside create Season 01 and Season 02, not ideal, but still didn't work.

It should be 2 different tv shows, but I really don't know how to solve this  any ideas? This problem only happens with Cosmos, all the other tv shows I have are ok.

TVDB and TMDB both have Cosmos (2014) as one show with two seasons.  If you arrange the files into two season folders (Season 1 = A Spacetime Odyssey, Season 2 = Possible Worlds) and number the video files accordingly using the s0xe0y convention, that should get them properly sorted.

See the Emby Naming Guide:

Yeah I tried that too but unfortunately didn't worked i renamed the files as you mentioned.

Im not completely happy with that solution tho, cuz they are not 2 seasons of cosmos, they are "two different shows". But if it cannot be done then I'll make my peace with that.

My Cosmos is fine, all in one folder with 2 seasons. See image, and pics of my files from the Season 01 & 02 folders

Was it done automatically? As I mentioned for me is not ideal but I am willing to accept that lol

As in my main post, I tried to do that but it didn't worked, at least on my side.

You could put Season 1 and Season 2 into separate Series folders (with a neutral tweak of the name) and tell Emby not to merge the two (a library setting as I recall), then change the Display name in the metadata.

A quick way to unmerge them is to disable the library option to merge series from different folders, and then run a library scan.
