Random Season numbering Metadata Provider - Wyrmaster - 2025-11-10
Hi,
I've written my own Metadata Provider to read Anime Metadata.
As most anime databases handle season as their own series, I've written a season provider that hardcodes the the season index for every series and the parent index of all subsequent episodes to 1.
(Just to keep things simple)
However this creates some strange issues.
On specific animes it suddenly creates a season 2 even though I've only set my own plugin as the season provider.

The resulting entry in the UI shows a season without episodes. And also the episode it shows to be started can't be started.
I'm using Jellyfin 10.10.7
And here is my Plugin

Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong
Kind Regards
