Same [wrong] show identified for every new show - iZnI9CNX4a3erjKefXlS - 2025-07-04
Hi there,
I've been having a strange problem recently, where everytime a new show is added to my jellyfin library, it wrongly identifies it as the same wrong show. Specifically, every new show is identified as a Vietnamese show "Want to see you". I have to then manually re-attribute them before it show up correctly. I have tried troubleshooting a bit by disabling some of the metadata sources, but to no avail. The log didn't help that much either. For instance, the latestest occurence of this problem has those logs surrounding the issue:

I am running version 10.10.7 in a LXC, the priority plugin for fetching metadata is TMDb.
Any idea on how I should troubleshoot it further?
Thanks!
