Problem With Metadata Sourcing For Episodes

[RIP314 3]

So, I had to reinstall emby and start scraping metadata all over again. I prefer the movie database over the tv database for my metadata, I have only moviedb checked in library settings, it works great for movies, but for my tv library it doesn't seem to be sourcing the episode info, it won't even combine the two different format versions of some episodes I have despite following all the normal naming parameters. Is this normal? This is for a mixed library and I am running Emby v4.8 btw (I'm not updating because the new versions don't play nicely with mklinks).

There should be no difference in behavior using TMDB only. Can you provide specific example(s)?

It's weird, I tried this over three days giving it plenty of time to update the data and it wasn't, after a while I would try to refresh metadata or even place a .ignore file in the folders so emby would forget them and then remove the ignore file so emby would reintegrate 'em with the same results everytime, emby just putting the files in with the file-names and adding no new metadata, and then all of a sudden it worked and now it seems to be fine. IDK why.

Ugh, so I was just messing with one season of a show at a time so I didn't have such a bottleneck with emby trying to scrape all the metadata. l finally got that one season of a show to work and populate properly; I went to another season and am once again having the same issue. IDK what is causing the issue, or maybe it's just a massive delay and I'm not giving it enough time, it's just weird, because the first time I gave it a whole day without it populating, but it only took a matter of minutes the last time I added it back and it actually started working properly so Im not sure where the issue lies.
