Library Scan, new TV Show detected and processed "succeeded", but never is displayed?!

[User512b 1]

Emby Premier subscriber (is there another forum?)

Version: 4.9.1.7 (and previous 2 versions!!)

I've been fighting a "Library Scan" to detect a recent show I've added.  The logs show each episode processed successfully; however, it never shows up in Emby's metadata nor tv show list.

I've renamed the folder to TV Show/Season 01, TV Show - Season 01, TV Show - S01, TV Show/S01, etc etc.  They are always processed completely; however, they never show up.

I've been fighting this for several version upgrades now too.

however, it never shows up in Emby's metadata nor tv show list.

Hi, where exactly are you looking for it? Have you checked the permissions for your Emby user to ensure they have access to it, and that they don't have any parental controls applied that might be causing this?

I'm the admin, full permission.  I only use filters for 1 show for 1 tag for child account.  However, I am logged in as the administrator.  

I've looked in TV Shows, ordered by DateAdded and Name.  I've searched for various word combinations.  I've browsed the Metadata tool.  It's not added at all.

Multiple server restarts, and even two upgrades over the last several months.

HI, can you please check these things anyway and let us know what you see in there? Thanks.

Bingo!  

Would you have some advice about how to break up 48 episodes?

[User512b 1]

Nevermind.  I renamed the parent folder to be suffixed with " - (1969) [tvdbid=78260]", so it picks up the correct show now.

E.g.: Scooby-Doo Where Are You - Season 01 - (1969) [tvdbid=78260]

A quick Scan of the TV Show library, and it's all fixed up!
