Problems with Identification of Series

[Loeffel 5]

Hi,

I have a problem with the Emby server mixing two series into one.
I have the old animé series Cat's Eye (73 episodes) and Cat's Eyes - Ein Supertrio (2 seasons with 12 episodes each). First the server mixed those two up, but I was able to sort it out.
Now there is a new French TV series (2 seasons with 12 episodes each) based on the animé. This series is called Cat's Eyes and is as it should be in its own folder, but the server mixes it up with the original animé series Cat's Eye. The first 12 episodes (I don't have the second season by now) are now the real French TV series and not more the original ones and there is no new series called Cat's Eyes.
I tested different approaches, but nothing worked. How can I force the Emby server to identify both series as different series?

Yours

I just solved it, but I'm not really sure how. I removed the new one from the server, locked the other series and put it back. The only thing that is still wrong, are the pictures from the old series from the first 12 episodes. They have now all the picture of the new series.
By manually editing the metadata of every episode I manged to change that back.

But there should be a better way.

What is your provider order?

Really depends on what the provider api returns for your exact setup as a query for "Cat's Eye" is pretty generic and will get multiple results when you have same named shows you really have to see how the provider lists them as it is usually best to add YEAR to show name as the simplest fix.
