Year-based seasons create a spurious "Season Unknown" - odradek - 2025-09-19
I file a tv episode like this:
Arena (1975)/Season 2003/Arena - s2003e02 - The Life and Times of Count Luchino Visconti.mkv
along with a tMM-generated .nfo file which includes the lines:
<showtitle>Arena</showtitle>
<season>2003</season>
<episode>2</episode>
...
<episode_groups>
<group episode="2" id="AIRED" name="Aired Order" season="2003"/>
</episode_groups>
and I scan all libraries (no metadata downloaders are enabled, so — I think — everything should come from the .nfo file).
In Jellyfin, on the show's page, I find Season 2003 and Season Unknown, both of which contain the same episode.
I want Season 2003 to remain and Season Unknown to disappear. How do I make this happen?
