Parsing shows with titles including a number

[w1kl4s 0]

I have a show titled Mob Psycho 100. Directory tree looks like that:

 

 ➜  Mob Psycho tree

 .

From what i know, Emby handles that kind of structure just fine. However, seems like that it recognizes the 100 number as episode number: All episodes are listed as single one, with 12 different versions.

 

I tried editing the database to add IndexNumber to MediaItems table, however i doesn't seem to change anything. 

 

How can i deal with that?

Luke has mentioned this in another topic "Shows that have numbers in the title are going to be more difficult".  As you have noticed the parser looks at the first number in the title as the episode number.

 

Only way around this I can see would be different naming scheme for episode title like "01 - [Akatomba-kBaraka] Mob Psycho 100 (BD 1920x1080 x264 FLAC) [bE59821E]" or putting episodes in a Season 1 folder.  Unless Luke has other ideas.

So, i noticed that after upgrading to version 4, some shows that don't have numbers in title have the same issue. Here is an example:

2 directories, 40 files

 

Again, all episodes are listed as a single one with multiple versions. As far as i remember, that did not happen in version 3.x. What would be reason for that happening?

Almost any item in a parent folder with a "space dash space" in the name will be treated as multi-version and be grouped.

Alright, that explains it pretty well. Thank you for help!
