Duplicated seasons in one series - Ozi - 2025-11-01

Hi everyone,
I need some help because I ran into an issue I can’t solve.
I manually copied the Mythbusters series into the proper folder with the correct structure:
\sorozat\Mythbusters\1. évad
\sorozat\Mythbusters\2. évad
etc...
It’s exactly the same structure I use for all my other series, which all work perfectly fine.
However, as you can see in the attached image, the seasons are duplicated in Jellyfin.
At first it was a complete mess — for example, some seasons had 40 episodes instead of 16. I checked other metadata sources and noticed that TVmaze had a similar season split like my actual, so I installed and enabled the TVmaze plugin.
After that, the seasons became duplicated, but at least the episode distribution was finally correct.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
  • Moved the entire series out of the folder, refreshed the library database, deleted all NFO files, then copied it back and refreshed again — no change.
  • Disabled the TVmaze plugin, refreshed the library and database again — same issue.
  • Removed Season 0, refreshed the database again — still the same.
So no matter what I try, Jellyfin keeps showing duplicate seasons for Mythbusters.
Interestingly, the season with the cover don't show folder, but the without ones show it. Both starts to play the same episodes without issue. 
Does anyone know what could cause this duplication or how I can fix it?
My jellyfin version:10.10.7

Thanks in advance for any help!

salut,

même si cela a déjà fonctionné avant, tu devrais suivre la structure proposée dans la doc :

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/

personnellement, je fais effectivement comme suit pour les séries :

Series Name A (2010)
│ ├── Season 00
│ │ ├── Some Special.mkv
│ │ ├── Series Name A S00E01.mkv
│ │ └── Series Name A S00E02.mkv
│ ├── Season 01
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E01-E02.mkv
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E03.mkv
│ │ └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv

et cela fonctionne !!

une fois renommée, tu fais "remplacer les métadonnées !

in english :

Hi,

Even if it's worked before, you should follow the structure suggested in the documentation:

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/

Personally, I do the following for series:

Series Name A (2010)
│ ├── Season 00
│ │ ├── Some Special.mkv
│ │ ├── Series Name A S00E01.mkv
│ │ └── Series Name A S00E02.mkv
│ ├── Season 01
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E01-E02.mkv
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E03.mkv
│ │ └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv

And it works!!

Once renamed, you click "replace metadata!"

Thank you for the idea, but I'm sure not the map structure was wrong.

I found the solution. I just updated to 10.11.1, then refresh meta, and now it is good.
Only issue is the pilots are merged with specials. But in the link you shared, I can't find anything about pilots, so maybe thats how jelly handle'em.


RE: Duplicated seasons in one series - jaja - 2025-11-01

ok nice !!

try "Season 00" for pilote !
