File renaming is using characters that CIFS shares cannot read

[scharbag 19]

 

As you can see above, Emby is using a : symbol in the file name when sorting CSI: Cyber.  Due to Emby server living on a FreeNAS system, there is no issue with the : being used until it is shared using CIFS to the clients.  

 

 

Windows cannot use : in file or directory names.

 

 

I have tried editing the MetaData manager setting but it keeps reverting back to CSI: Cyber as shown below:

 

 

Is there a way to change the series name so that the : symbol is not used?

 

Please let me know.

 

Cheers,

we'll change this behavior but you'll have to rename existing files and folders on your own.

Cool.  I have changed the files, easy to do.  Thanks for looking into this!
