Cant fix index error or remove wrong tv show season. Here an example.

[requa3r0 12]

How do you select a tv-show and tell emby it has been index wrong.

Its not clear or even possible

An example.

I have 2 tv-shows:

1: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Season 1 - 8 Episodes

2: Pose - - Season 1 - 3 - 3 x 8 Episodes

For some reason the tv-shows are mixed up in emby when I indexes the show folders, and its not clear how to untangle them.

 

I can delete the full tv-show, or each episode, but not select a season and set it for the correct tv-show name etc.

 

How can emby mix "pose" and " The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power"  ??

Why is it so hard to interact with the library

In emby. Its completely impossible to rectify this mistake!

H have delete the files, and made a clean up. Both diapered. Then re-added the files, and re-indexed..just to get back to where I started.

I don't really care about the show pose, and I could just delete it..but this is a good example of how impossible emby is to deal with sometimes.

 

Here ...in the 3-dot menu on a season..no option to remove or re-set the show name.

Can you try this naming 

The Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power (2022) [TvdbId=367506]

Not sure what show pose is

but including tvdbid in the folder name takes away embys guessing game.

OP should actually rename Pose folder:

Pose (2018) [tvdbid=346026]

As LOTR: Rings of Power is seen and recognized/identified correctly, it's Pose TV show folder that's been mis-identified/merged.

Rename, rescan.

But OP should use the naming on all folders, to minimize embys guess work.

Anywhere this applyes.

As i implied  its all about not following TV Naming  to a T.

And adding that tvdbid for good measure.

I can not rename anything just like that. its not that easy. Its hardcoded in a m3u file.

The data comes from an automatically  extracted and rsynced m3u file, where everything is extracted to files and folders, and rsynced onto the common folder on the emby share, where its indexed automatically.

Using this lib. https://github.com/erdesigns-eu/M3U2STRM + some a bit of bash magic ;O)

I would need to program a specific rename script of the pose tv-show, to ensure its done the same way every day with the  extract and rsync script.

The problem her is not only that emby mixes "pose" up with "The Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power", but rather that you cant do anything about it from emby.

Why is there not a way to fix the issue from the emby interface. At least to remove the wrong seasons, but even better to select the correct show.

Just wondering.

It likely mixes them due to naming convention used, hence:

You can approach that in two ways:

1) Deselect "Automatically merge series spread across multiple folders" library option - you'll have two entries for the same show, right click>Identify incorrectly identified one

2) On each episode detail screen click "Split versions apart" - you'll end up in same scenario as 1), just way slower

hmm...sounds like plan.

@requa3r0has this helped?

[requa3r0 12]

@Luke

no. Reverted the setting

deleted POSE  in my rsync script

rm -d -r Series\ Other/Pose

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

did not scan..so i did an edit and set the manually

TheTVDB ID = 367506

 

That helped
