First I have fixed this so I cannot reproduce or provide logs. I am reporting it jsut so that in can be fixed if it is a problem or others can be made aware of the fix.

 

I have a series "Criminal Minds" and I have all seasons and episodes.

Season 2 is set and structured like this:

TV Shows <- Library points here

........Criminal Minds

.................Season 01

.......................Shows for season 1

.................Season 02

........................Criminal Minds - s02e01 - The Fisher King (2).ext

........................Rest of shows for season 2

........................Criminal Minds - s02e23 - No Way Out (2) The Evolution of Frank.ext

.........................after that I had mistakenly placed the one following file

........................Criminal Minds - s07e24 - Run.ext 

..............Remainder of Criminal Minds correctly named and formatted and in correct season folders

 

With that setup after I played s02e23 my next up  showed s07e24

 

Even though I mistakenly placed that one S07 show in the wrong folder I would have expected Emby to move on to s03e01 after I played s02e23.

 

The "fix" was easy but I think it should have not been needed as s07e24 was correctly labeled. It was just in the wrong place. If there was a failure of identification then it seems that s07e24 should have simply been ignored.

 

As I said I have fixed the problem. I just thought I would report it.

Well, the practical answer is put them in the right folder :)

True and obviously the best and correct solution BUT I think that this is a case where Emby "should" be a bit smarter. When ripping, copying and arranging files some mistakes will happen from time to time and this is a case where mistakes are very possible particularly because sevens (7) looks a lot like twos (2) to my old eyes particularly when they are tired. (The eyes not the sevens or the twos.)

 

I do not expect Emby to protect me from my own stupidity or clumsiness but it seems that Emby should not put a misnamed/mislocated file in a season where it does not belong (or screw up the playing order) just because it happens to appear in the wrong directory.
