Emby Compiling everything into One Season

[Misinthe 46]

Hey everyone, I am having this weird issue were one TV Show (2 Broke Girls) it showing all the episodes stack together in "Season 2", the weird part is that all the metadata is good for all the episodes in the show, so it does recognize it's from S01 to S06. But it bundles them up into 1 "Season 2" folder. Has anyone experienced this before?

 

Few things to add.

 

I am pulling the metadata from TheTVDB.com which has all the episodes separated by seasons accordingly.

My path is set as G:\TV Shows\2 Broke Girls, and I have individual folders for each season.

The Episodes are named 2 Broke Girls S01E01 and so on, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

 

Here are some screenshots.

 

 

 

Thank you all for your help!

The path for your TV library should be set to:

G:\TV Shows\

The path for your TV library should be set to:

G:\TV Shows\

That's how it is, and then in that path is where the folder for the show is. I have all my TV shows set like this and this is the only one with this issue.

Can we please see the exact contents of the file system for this series? (explorer screenshots)

Here are some screenshots that should help you understand, I also took some of another TV Show so you can see that it is the same structure and it works fine on other shows.

 

Please let me know if you need any more information.

 

Thank you for your help.

 While Emby tries VERY hard (I believe too hard) to conform to all the possible naming/structure schemes that abound I believe we, as content owners, should help as much as possible. The following is the structure and naming I use and it works every time without a single exception I have found.

- - - - - - - - - -

TV Shows <- The TV library points here

_______ShowName (year)

____________Season 01

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e01 - Optional Name.ext

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e02 - Optional Name.ext

__________________and so on for the shows in season 01

____________Season 02 <- just like Season 01

____________Season 03 <- and so on for each season

 

____________Season 00 <- or “Specials”

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e01 - Optional name

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e02 - Optional name

__________________and so on for each special

 

Note 1: the eXX part of the specials must match EXACTLY what is found in TheTVDB

Note 2: The (year) may be omitted for shows that do not have more than one occurrence throughout the years.

 

There are many other structures and naming systems that work but this is the one I use and it just works.

For a mass rename I use FileBot with this format string  {n.replaceTrailingBrackets()} - {s00e00.lower()} - {t} 

There is also a "Plex" preset that works very well for Emby as well.

I just changed the season's folder name to "Season XX" and it worked. I appreciate your help, and that FileBot program is AWESOME! It is going to save me so much work, I actually had to fix my Dragon Ball and Pokémon libraries one by one because I didn't know about this! Had to modify over 2000 episode manually! I purchased the license and it works like a charm, Thank you for the suggestion!

Most of the time you want to be as close to the supported naming conventions as possible.  I am surprised you have not run into more issues with those series and season names.

You also have to watch out for what sub-folders that are added also.

I've run into problems before, like I said with a couple of anime shows, but what I had never gotten was everything in 1 Season with the right Metadata on all the episodes, usually when it's all busted like that, you'll have the right season Metadata and the other episodes havo no description with the name in your files.
