Metadata problem with Star Trek

[fms 0]

I have this following folder structure:

 

Star Trek

 - The Next Generation

 - Staffel 1 (yeah it's in german, don't know if this will cause problems)

 -- S01E01.mkv

 - Staffel 2

 - ...

 

However emby detects this as The original series, with the metadata being from this show. This detection seems to be on the folder "Star Trek". Can I force the detection to be TNG, and only for the TNG folder?

 

I would like to avoid creating two folders, one for TNG and TOS and having one "Star Trek" folder with TNG and TOS as subfolder inside them.

 

Best Regards

Have you seen the wiki, I assume this is a nested structure?

 

It's also possible to have a sub-folder group multiple shows together in an otherwise normal directory structure. Use the metadata manager to change the content type of the sub-folder to TV.
\TV --- content type TV
     \TV show 1
       \Season 1
     \Star Trek  --- change content type to TV using metadata manager
       \Star Trek
          \Season 1
       \Star Trek: The next Generation
          \Season 1

After I made my post, sorry for the inconviniences and thanks.

I'm curious just: how do you do it?! I don't see in the metadata manager a way to change the content type of a sub-folder. And I have exactly this problem.... two subfolders for italian and english tv series and they are imported as two tv series instead of sub-folders

the setting used to there - cant see it in dev

 

IIRC it was called "inherit"

So it is a regression.

 

It is really a useful feature.

 

Maybe Luke should read this thread

Guess you haven't seen the other topics then.

 

Not sure the proper answer anymore.  That is why I made this post.  There is a Manual process.  But I don't know if it is just suppose to be automatic and you just have to remove the metadata that was created in the subfolder "Star Trek", and perform a library scan again.

No unfortunately I didn't see it before. I must admit that when I searched I saw the two threads but their title didn't make me think any I would find something related.

 

So I tried your manual process. It worked, but unfortunately what I was trying to achieve didn't. My problem is that I have two subfolders, Italian and English. And I have a TV serie Games of Thrones that has a different title in Italian "il trono di spade". Also If I set the two subfolder as content type tvshows Emby still merge the two shows together, showing just one of the two with all the episode merged under.

 

The only solution that I found has been creating an Italian TV and English TV library and check for them to be merged under a generic TV group. 

 

This is a bit not optimal solution because it means that each user should do the same. In case.

Yes, your issue is Series Pooling.  There are a couple topics on that also, but no solution except for separate libraries as you mention.
