Absolute order detection with no season id - bl4ckb0ne - 2025-11-18

Hi, I'm encountering issue trying to fetch metadata for an anime in absolute order.

The files are in a folder with the episodes going from 001 to 291. I have the display order set to absolute and the proper TVDB id for the season in absolute order, but jellyfin insists on doing 3 seasons: a special one with the episodes from 001 to 099, a season 1 with the episodes from 100 to 199 and a season 2 with the episodes from 200 to 291.

I cannot rename the files, they are read only. Would there be a way to enforce this folder as the s1 and fetch the appropriate data from TVDB? Or alternatively, completely remove and kind of auto-metadata retrieval for this or the library?

Thanks.
