Having a problem getting episodes to appear despite being there. - TheMerricat - 2025-08-23
Having a problem that I don't understand the cause of.

I have this series on my server. I see all the episodes in their folder. They are labeled, I believe, correctly.

The show is showing up with the proper TVDBID in the nfo files, as does the season and episodes TVDBID's in their respective NFO files. But... Jellyfin refuses to show me anything other than episode 1 in the episode list. It's generated trickplay files, everything, for all the episodes, but it won't list them.
I noticed there are issues with this TVDBID entry (it's got episodes duplicated in both Season 1 and the Specials list, and since they combined a bunch separate OVAs into one entry, it's got the wrong externalIDs for the other sites listed), but surely those aren't what's causing an issue are they?

Naming might be the issue. You're using both absolute and season numbering, which might cause issues. Gall Force naming on my server:

So it wasn't having the absolute and season numbering - directly. I'm not sure the actual cause of the issue, but I had thought that I was using the Trash Guide's naming scheme for anime episodes and when you mentioned that I went back and double checked, it must have changed since I set up my stuff and started ripping my collection.
I renamed everything based on the new scheme and Jellyfin started showing everything.
Unfortunately I don't know what the issue actually was, the new naming scheme is almost exactly the same as the one I was using, it just looks like it has a few elements moved around. But, solved either way! Thank you!
