TV Episode Naming Convention

Hi All,

Please can you help here. I am going round and round a little and can't work out what's happening. 

Been using Emby a while and have a good file structure around TV Shows  File path is (Series - Season X - Episode)

Episode named like so -  "Silo-s03e01.mp4"

For some reason they have stopped pulling through the metadata for each episode like the others even though they are structured the same? I have added the example of TV show Silo in the attachments.

The only reason I can think of is I have started using handbrake to compress the files down to a storable size. Will this have one kind of effect? Will I have to do some other type of file manipulation for Emby to recognise them?

Thanks for the reply.. The spoiler bit isn't enabled. There is a load of stuff I haven't watched which still shows the plot and thumbnails as well so don't think its that.

Server Version 4.9.5.0

I have also tried changing the naming convention of the series overall to include the TMDB ID etc so it looks like this at top level "Silo (2023) [tmdbid= 125988]"

Still nothing...

Devs / we need to see logs, from where you refresh metadata or imported the new episodes.

I use tvdb id, and don't see the issue

Silo (2023) [TvdbId=403245]
