Episodes incorrectly detected - hellhath - 2025-04-08

Hi, 
I'm trying to get Spongebob episodes to detect correctly, even though they match theTVDB and theMovieDB ( /Spongebob Squarepants/season 01/SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E02 - Reef Blower.avi )  it matches all episodes of the day as the same first episode. 

So I get 3 Help Wanted (S01E01) then 2 Reef Blower (S01E02) and so on, but each of the 3 are actually different files. So Help Wanted is right, but then the second and third are actually Reef Blower and Tea at the Treedome.

I've tried using the TVDB and TMDB as primary scraper, removed the library and readded it, as well as trying to just rescan with no success. 
Also tried renaming with and without dashes around the S01E01 part.

The first couple of seasons with the multi part episodes seem to be the problem, but since the individual episodes seem to be in the DBs I don't get why they don't show.

Attached example pics.

Post screenshots of what you are talking about and screenshots on how you have the files named.

Thanks, added some pics.

Could you take a screenshot showing all the files for Season 1 in a file manager? I don't need to see the individual file's media info.

Which folder did you add to the library?


RE: Episodes incorrectly detected - hellhath - 2025-04-08

/mnt/kids/tv so the Spongebob Squarepants folder is the show, then there are season 01, season 02... folders in that

Which Episode Order did you select? Assuming you changed it from the default "airing" order.


RE: Episodes incorrectly detected - hellhath - 2025-04-08

Just the default aired, thought that was just a display thing not a matching thing?


RE: Episodes incorrectly detected - TheDreadPirate - 2025-04-08

Just grasping at straws. TVDB has "joined" orders, but it isn't doing multiple episode numbering.

Try removing the dash in the file names. That can sometimes trigger extra functions in Jellyfin, like "versions" of a movie/episode.

tried just now, same. I'll switch scraper to TMDB and try again
