Metadata from S01E01 applied to all episodes in S02, S03 and S04 - BlockedWriter - 2025-10-14
Encountered an odd issue with the metadata for a specific TV show.
When I add The Man From Uncle (https://www.thetvdb.com/series/the-man-from-u-n-c-l-e) S01, S02, S03 and S04, the metadata for all S01 episodes is imported correctly. However, the metadata for every episode in every other season is identical to that for S01E01.
As all of the episodes are all numbered "1", they play out of order.
I have tried removing and re-adding the show, checked TheTVDB and IMDB ID codes are correct (they are). The episodes files are named correctly, and the folder structure is correct.
The videos play without a problem – it's just the metadata that's screwed up.
I've not encountered this problem with other TV shows – just this one.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't want to add metadata for 86+ TV shows manually.
Thanks.

I downloaded the Jellyfin log after removing and re-adding the show.

check on the specific library settings (manage library), then check in the settings the metadata downloaders (themoviedb, thetvdb, anidb, etc...) move to the top the "theTVDB" and "TheMovieDB" uncheck the rest
remove the series folder from that library, scan, put the folder of the series back and make a new scan.
now it should show the episode names properly.
i had the same problem with some cartoon series in the past
if it worked for you, give a like to my post
