computerprep 148 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 The only show I organize with dated filenames is Jeopardy. Screenshots below are VERY large. I'll try to keep my summary here succinct. I'll use Season 2019 as my example. The first displayed episodes are not displayed with their numeral prefix indicating which episode number they are. Scroll down far enough past these episodes that are missing the numeral from in front of their episode title, and you'll get to "1. Kevin Patterson, Maggie Byrd, Jonathan Dinerstein" which is truly episode 1 from the year 2019. File is "Television/Jeopardy (1964)/Season 2019/Jeopardy 2019-01-01.mkv"The first "missing" episode is "16. John Presloid, Haley Zapal, Julie Bender" except that file shouldn't actually be missing. It shows up earlier in the screenshots, labeled as "John Presloid, Haley Zapal, Julie Bender" without the numeral/prefix "16._" Clicking the information for this episode (missing the numeral) shows the file present as "Television/Jeopardy (1964)/Season 2019/Jeopardy 2019-01-22.mkv" The version of this episode that has the prefix/numeral is marked missing, but both versions of this episode have their full and correct metadata, descriptions, air dates, etc. This renders Next Up for this series completely unusable. As a side-mention, air dates are displayed nicely on my streaming boxes, but the web version and Android Mobile (and probably iPhone too, but I can't test that) don't show the air date until you click the info button to see episode details. Showing air date adjacent to runtime below episode title and above episode description would be a very useful feature that won't take up any additional space or detract from UX. Screenshots part 1: part 2: part 3:
Luke 42083 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Hi, try assigning the episodes season and episode numbers in emby and that should help.
computerprep 148 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 That's what I'm doing now. It just not how I prefer to keep this series when I know I'm following the proper naming convention from the knowledgebase. I don't remember the circumstances anymore, but 12-18 months ago I had an issue with auto organize mislabeling these episodes from their original dated filenames, so I wrote a script to rename and move them with dated filenames.
Luke 42083 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Do your dates match up with the episode dates on tvdb?
computerprep 148 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 100% lined up with dates from TVDB. What's weird is that the server recognized then and labeled them, but they show up in the season twice. Once with the episode number attached to the episode title (which is displayed as missing) and once without the episode number displayed alphabetically above all the numbered episodes. Only the un-numbered version is payable. I just realized that the forum must have compressed my screenshots. I'll host them privately and link to them here in a few minutes.
Luke 42083 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Do you have the missing episodes feature enabled on your library?
computerprep 148 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 But when missing episodes are not enabled, these episodes still display out of order and missing their numbers prefix (episode number). And the next up feature slips then because they're sorted above the correct ones.
Luke 42083 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 OK, if you turn that off, that should make the duplicates go away.
Happy2Play 9783 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 The images are to small for me to see anything, but adding this serie with display missing enable. I had no issues with identification or them removing virtual missing items. Did 18 episodes in 2019 and 18 in 1984. But when missing episodes are not enabled, these episodes still display out of order and missing their numbers prefix (episode number). And the next up feature slips then because they're sorted above the correct ones. This would suggest they are not Identified. Can you show a example in a larger screenshot.
Happy2Play 9783 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) @@Luke got it to happen Virtual and Actual episode (hybrid mult-version ) Depending on how many episodes this happens to you can click the split version button and do a library scan to resolve the issue. v4.4.0.22 Edited March 6, 2020 by Happy2Play
Luke 42083 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 That's only with the missing episodes feature enabled, right?
Happy2Play 9783 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 That's only with the missing episodes feature enabled, right? Yes,disabling user preference "Display missing episodes within seasons" does show the real item. With the option enabled I get the merge display above.
computerprep 148 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) I've already changed these episodes to S#E# naming so they're usable, But I'm manually reverting Season 2020 to date names so I can re-test and get some new screenshots. My screenshots from above are gone from the device I took them on.Secondary question related to this... how should Emby handle date-named files is there are multiple episodes with the same date according to TVDB? For the Jeopardy example, Jan 14, 2020 there are two episodes. The normally scheduled episode, then a special episode (Greatest Of All Time Match #4). Edited March 9, 2020 by computerprep
Luke 42083 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 They're independent of each other so they'll probably both get the first one.
