Numbered TV shows being ignored

[AlanBatie 5]

I have my directories broken out by letters, with 0 for the numbered titles, e.g. 4400, however only the actual letters are being shown even in the folder list.

Replace "0" with some special character, like "#".

special characters cause problems on unix systems and should be avoided in file/directory names

"0 Numbered Shows"?

Edit: Is that 4400 TV show folder present anywhere in Folder view, as per <CollapseVideoFolders>/<CollapseSingleItemFolders> setting as folder "0" currently has single item only? Does same occur if you add another nested TV show folder?

I've only really seen issues with certain special characters on Android but not on any other *nix system I've used. It can be a bit annoying to escape them properly sometimes but not usually a big deal with double quotes.

It's sometimes makes a lot of difference between single and double quotes In linux

Absolutely, I'm very familiar with it for some of my scripting.

You can do it, they're just a nuisance when using the shell for management, as I often do

FWIW, I moved the 4400 directory in the A directory, and Emby now sees it and adds a # to the beginning of the letter menu on the right of the shows page...

How is the folder named?

/nfs/nas07/Videos/TV/A/4400

I think if you put the year in the folder name it would be less likely to happen.
