Is there a simple way to change "Series 1" to "Season 1" for whole library?

[simonhancock 15]

Apart from manually changing all my tv shows in the metadata manager manually, is there a simple way to correct the way seasons are named?

 

Some shows are Series 1, Series 2, Season 3, Season 4.

 

I have tried refreshing the metadata for the entire tv show library, this did not change them. I have tried refreshing metadata for a single tv show, this did not change them. Is there some setting I am missing?

In the actual folder for the tv show, the seasons are all named correctly, Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 Season 4. In the .nfo the season for Season 1 it is set as <title>Series 1</title>.  If I delete the season.nfo file from the season 1 folder and refresh the metadata emby creates an incorrect .nfo file again with "Series 1".

 

Edit: So I tried to manually identify a show to see if that would refresh the season naming, instead it just gave the seasons all the name of the tv show.

Well I also have billions, but I don’t see your issue

I haven’t done anything special?

What is your preferred metadata provider for tv series?

I have

I fixed it with Notepad++.

 

Searched and found all the season.nfo files, opened them in Notepad++ and did a replace "Series" with "Season" on all open documents then saved all. Ran emby metadata refresh "scan for new and updated files" and its done.

do you have the option to update metadata every X days set? Total guess but I would surmise that the metadata source was updated after season 2 was released and Because you have this option off your earlier seasons were not updated while your new seasons received the new format. Just something you might want to check as it may affect other shows?

It was set incorrectly for about 600+ seasons. Refreshing metadata didn’t help as it thought the info contained in the .nfo was correct.

The Identify issue is resolve in the next release 4.2.

There is another topic on this out there, I will post the link if I find it.

Right, for now I would just use the metadata editor to manually correct them. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

I'd probably still be doing it now if I went the manual route, there were 600+ to correct.

When Emby Server 4.2 is released you can also refresh metadata on the Series. That may even suffice with 4.1.

[Happy2Play 9783]

The keyword "Refresh" (Refresh All) the metadata not scan the existing metadata.  So from an existing metadata standpoint you would have to manually edit the title in the season.nfo.  As you have already done with notepad ++. 

 

But for the issue created with Identify you will have to "Refresh All" the metadata or edit the seasons manually.
