TV series not showing

[King Pin 34]

To save disk space I delete previously watched seasons off my server but I still have them in my offline backups. 

In my Emby/TV SHOWS I still have the show folder with all the metadata and images but it doesn't show up in my library because there is no video. 

Is there a way to make these shows, show in my library even though there are no seasons?

Image shows the TV Show "Silo". 

The nfo file and images are there but I removed season 1 to save space and it doesn't show in my library anymore.

Try with this placeholder Media Stubs | Emby Documentation

Silo S00-E100.disc

Not sure if this will work for Tv Shows.

Alright stupid question. 

How or what is an empty file?

Do I just make like a txt file and rename it with .disc extension? 

[Neminem 1519]

Yes

[King Pin 34]

Unfortunately doesn't work.  

I tried different naming also with the same result. 

[Neminem 1519]

Sorry hear about that.

That was the only thing i could think of. 

[Neminem 1519]

Ok that's really odd.

Just tried my self, and I got this.

My empty file shows as a .txt file not a .disc

[Neminem 1519]

Ok try changing it .disc 

[King Pin 34]

I have but it still shows as a txt file.

Well &*%^ ME!!!!  

After expanding this is what showed.  
Law & Order Organized Crime S00E100.disc.txt

I removed the .txt and it works now. 

I appreciate you sticking with me!

Your file is properly named 

The Winchesters s00e100.disc.txt

But does not show .txt extension.

Try this on your file.

Delete the .txt
