How do I fix Mythbusters

[RanmaCanada 496]

I know this has been a topic of contention before with the stupid way tvdb has mythbusters season listed. I have all the files named correctly, and for whatever reason it thought it was Mythbusters Jr. So I deleted the .nfo files et al, and had Emby rescan the TV directory, and now Mythbusters is coming up as blanks.

Do I really need to identify every single season manually? Because if I do, it just creates a separate folder for each season and will not put them into one. The server never had this issue before with this show. I am certain an update broke this. Currently running 4.8.8.0. Should I instead be using imdb for each season as it seems whoever is in charge of the tvdb database is a moron.

Thanks for your time and help.

Works fine when using format for plex and emby

/MythBusters/Season 2003/MythBusters 2003 - S2003E01 - Jet Assisted Chevy BTN DVD.mkv

Under your tv library settings; what order is your metadata fetchers in?

 

This works for me, using the same folder layout (/Mythbusters/Season <year>/Mythbusters - S<year>E01 - <episodename>.mkv)

Most likely will have to rename your season folders as mentioned but I use SXXXXEYY format also.

Or I guess you don't have Merge Series across folders enabled on library and Emby now sees each season as Series folder.

I have tvdb set as first, but as @Happy2Playguessed I do not have Merge Series across folders enabled (due to issues with widescreen and fullscreen copies of series). I have enabled it and will see how things progress.

Yes if you need it disable you will most likely have to rename Season folders.

You could simply take them to the vet. Then they would be "fixed" in no time.

So turning on that feature has solved it, though I do have to re-identify every single season.

Now I have another problem, where entire shows have their poster, but no episodes are listed, even though they are pointed to the right directory and the directory is accessible. I have everything in a TV directory on my UNRAID server, so the fact some shows have data and others do not, while all the content in the directories has not changed, is puzzling.
