TV Shows showing as Series and Season

Respectfully you can't use an all or nothing approach.

 

Even in USA some shows are called "Series" not "Season"  Top Gear is a perfect example of this.

 

Can you not just change it back to the way it was prior to August?  That would solve all the reported issues.

Yes, there are two things going on here:

 

For those of you in the UK or with that as your language preference, "Series" is showing due to that preference.

 

But there are others in here reporting that their settings are for US and they are still seeing "Series" for some seasons.  In this instance, we believe this value is coming from the movie db so we are going to stop using that.

Thanks for the info

 

So can we stop Emby doing the highlighted bit

 

Prior to the update Emby would follow my folder naming (or appeared to)

 

Now with this change, everything new is now just getting named Series X

 

We seem to have lost the flexibility for Season name, causing some to have to now manually rename them to achieve what was automatic before

I'm UK but seeing Season.

The inverse of what I said above could be true as well - you could have your settings at UK but also have tmdb providing season info so you would get whatever tmdb has.

In my Emby server, there is only 1 metadata provider at the Season level, TheMovieDB.

 

At the Series level (yes, I see Series and not Show), there are 3.

@@subby what was your preferred metadata language before? you might have had moviedb enabled for seasons, which does provide season names. I think we will stop importing that value from moviedb until if/when we have field-level configuration.

 

I always have it set to English (Australia), left the rest of the settings on default there.

Ok, I see an issue, thanks.

Ok, I see an issue, thanks.

Is that an issue you have fixed in the latest (.13) beta?

 

If so, what was it please?

 

Thanks.

[CBers 7450]

On my dev Emby server, running beta .13, I didn't have the Season metadata option ticked and I noticed that there was no season.nfo files being created.

 

Where I'd copied media from my main server, some has a season.nfo and some didn't.

 

If there is no season.nfo file, I had a "Series xx" but where I had a season.nfo file, it was "Season xx".

 

Just saying.
