Yes so next we would need to see the embedded info of the files

ffprobe -i "pathtofile"

You should see the command in your server log when  you Refresh the Metadata also after you change this option.

This?

So wanting to shutdown the emby server, move the files out of the library to somewhere else in the nas, re-edit and do all changes, then move them back after a while for the cached data to go away, and restart. See what that does.

Opinions?

Yea this probably explains why you got titles with video info in them.

HI, yes you could certainly do that. Please let us know what happens.

Yes you can copy and paste everything after "Execute: " into terminal/commandline to see the embedded info.

Hey everyone sorry for the long delay. I uploaded the dump of the log file instead. I uploaded:

"The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12768740/), and manually edited it since it was not working. Well after emby was updated, it wiped everything which is the topic of this post.

Also uploaded "The Flinstones" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053502/) and

"The Jetsons" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055683/)

They're all broken and manual updates to metadata get rewritten. Several other TV series like:

tiny toons adventures (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098929/)

Fallout season 2 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12637874/)

are also broken as shown in previous posts and again in the included attachments.

Hopefully you guys can figure out what the logs say because Im not sure what is happening. Appreciate you all.

No info comes directly from IMDB so what they have is not always what TVDB or TMDB have when it comes to cartoons.

What is are your enable metadata providers for this library and their order?

Only one potentially exact will be OMDB but will not have as much info per item.

But if you are manually editing files you will need to ensure you LOCK the metadata as any refresh of the Show will/could update wrong data from enabled providers.

As for the client issue first question would be does it have issues in the Web Client?
