Happy2Play 9780 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 @@Happy2Play what does that mean? Doesn't say anywhere about the Season folder no longer being respected? Where is it getting the Season name from now? I quess that is why your previous ones still work and current ones don't. That would be my take on that.
paulsalter 84 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I would also prefer an option to turn this off All my shows are nicely labeled upto the point of that update, Season 01, Season 02 etc Since this change i now get a mess with all new Seasons named Series 1, Series 2 etc Just a PITA to have to go in and manualy change the wording when adding new items An option to use the folder names as it used to would be great

Happy2Play 9780 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 But Season xx and Series xx are regional settings correct?
paulsalter 84 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 But Season xx and Series xx are regional settings correct? They can be interchanged, but mixing them up is wrong (but thats for another thread) I would say regional settings for the OP are set to use Season X, which is why it has all changed for new items added after the above named update
dcook 299 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I think only UK uses "Series" everyone else in the world uses "Season" But it doesn't really matter if you use "Season" or "Series" since if you follow the recommended folder structure you would already have a folder called "Season 1" or "Series 1" then just using the folder name as it originally was doing all along solves this problem. I don't understand why this was changed? What other problem was @@Luke trying to solve when he made this horrible change? What does mix-matched folders mean? Where is it populating the Season name from now? Do we now have to edit metadata for every single season for every single show to fix this? I alone have 312 shows which is about 1782 season folders Edited October 11, 2017 by dcook
paulsalter 84 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 @@dcook you are correct, we mainly use Series here instead of Season, but people do use both I think i am explaining it wrongly I have all my shows named e:\TV\ShowName\Season XX Prior to the above update, Emby would read this structure and name the Seasons in Emby as per my folder structure With that change to regional, new Seasons are ignoring my folder naming and using a regional conversion table (so i get Series) So to me, the OP has used there naming for the folders which was picked up originally With this new regional change, Season names for people in Portugal are being named as Season X, instead of what the folder is named as

dcook 299 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 The only difference in that page is Season to Series, and Programs to Programmes everything else from what I can see matches exactly So again I don't understand why this change was made at all? It used to read the folder names from your library, if you were living in UK and wanted to use Series you would name your folder "Series 1" If you lived in USA you could name your folder "Season 1" If you lived in UK but wanted to use USA names you could name your folder "Season 1" If you lived anywhere but wanted to put year with Season name you could name your folder "Season 1 (2017)" You had all the flexibility in the world, but now that @@Luke has made this change all that is gone you are forced to use what @@Luke thinks is correct and best for you. thanks @@dcook This is where i understand it gets it from now, the translation site (uk page below) so regardless of naming used in folder, whats shown here is what you get as default http://translate.emby.media/collaboration/translate/project/project/9056/language-from/547/language/45/p/24

paulsalter 84 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 IMO, the preferred action for this should be If a Season folder is used then use that as the naming inside Emby If no Season folder is used (all episodes just under the show folder) then default to whatever the regional term for Season is
CBers 7450 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I have all my shows named e:\TV\ShowName\Season XX Prior to the above update, Emby would read this structure and name the Seasons in Emby as per my folder structure With that change to regional, new Seasons are ignoring my folder naming and using a regional conversion table (so i get Series) Where are you seeing Series xx? I'm in the UK and still see Season xx in the web client, and ATV and ET apps, for all of the recent new seasons of TV shows that have just started. I'm running beta Emby server, so a few releases in advance of Stable Emby server. I started "TV Library - Series v. Shows" 6 months ago. . Edited October 12, 2017 by CBers
paulsalter 84 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) This is an example, easier to show in pictures I have just added Season 06 of Doctor Who In Explorer In Emby EDIT:This was in reply to another post which has now gone Edited October 12, 2017 by paulsalter
CBers 7450 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 That's also dropping the '0' in '06'. I've just added a "Season 6" under Doctor Who and in the web client it shows "Series 6". All of my other new season folders are created via Sonarr, so what's different ?? For example, "Legends of Tomorrow" is in a folder called "Season 3" and Emby says "Season 3".
paulsalter 84 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Mine only does it for newly added items since the update mentioned earlier in the thread, earlier stuff like the other Dr Who Seasons are correct Does Sonarr create a season.nfo file, that the only possible difference i can see, and it names it as Season within this, i dont use this so just a guess
CBers 7450 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Does Sonarr create a season.nfo file, that the only possible difference i can see, and it names it as Season within this, i dont use this so just a guess There is a season.nfo and it does have: <title>Season 3</title>
paulsalter 84 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 There is a season.nfo and it does have: <title>Season 3</title> Is there one of you Sonarr Seasons you could possibly recreate, making sure a season.nfo file does not exist before Emby sees it Just to see if it names it as Series X inside Emby
CBers 7450 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I shut Emby server down and added a new show (Rellik) to Sonarr. No season.nfo was created by Sonarr.
paulsalter 84 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I have just tested on mine with Rellik, no season.nfo created either Explorer Emby Edited October 12, 2017 by paulsalter
CBers 7450 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I started Emby and it scanned the folder and created a season.nfo file in the season folder. <title>Season 1</title> Edited October 12, 2017 by CBers
