Episode not being correctly added with selecting DVD Order

[Thanytos 1]

Hello,

I'm trying to get House loaded into the system.  I have DVD ordered files (see filelist.jpg below), which for the most part is the same as the Air Order except that in season 6, the first episode was split into two for the DVD.  This means that when House is scanned with Air Order, all the metadata is off by one episode and the last episode has nothing at all, though it does at least show.  When I switch to DVD order, it shows episodes 1 & 3-22 (see metadata.jpg below).  Episode 2 is missing from list, but Episode 3 is actually pointing to the file for Episode 2.  The file for Episode 3 isn't picked up, and then 4-22 are correctly correlated to their meta data.  No matter what I've done, renaming files, deleting and readding show, rescanning, etc. nothing seems to solve this problem.

Hello Thanyto,

Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you.

It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread:

Thank you.

Hi, I have mine setup by airdate and use this naming:

I have no issue at all this way.

My Season 1 is fine.  As mentioned, I only have issues with Season 6.  Does your Season 6 folder contain 21 or 22 episodes?

Also looks like you're using nfo files for metadata.  Were these generated by Emby or did you source those elsewhere?

Sorry about that mixup on the seasons.

Mine has 21 episodes and matches what you'll find here:

So, I have a work around for this.  I set it back to Aired Date order and renamed all the files changing the initial E01 and E02 to E01-Part1 and E01-Part2, the splitting it apart in the UI, and then renaming the rest down an episode.  This doesn't really fix the problem that the DVD order functionality isn't working right, but at least everything is viewable now.

The S06E01, S06E02 is a defect in TVDB previous api, don't know if it has been fixed in v4 api as it require a user subscription and there has not been a plugin update done to accommodate the user subscription pin system.

You can see the metadata defect looking in Emby's \cache\tvdb\73255 folder and look at the xml metadata.  DVD info missing from aired xml and dvd xmls are missing for S06E01 and 2.
