Anime series season episode list contains bad entries following moving/renaming eps - SimplifyAndAddCoffee - 2023-10-23
Possible bug, I'm not sure how to fix it..
Steps to cause the issue:
- I had an anime series with a couple season folders already populated.
- I tried to merge in other episodes that used the anime numbering convention (e.g. x247 instead of s6e17 etc...) by dropping them in the season 1 folder, and then using a third party media manager application to rename the episodes and move them to their respective season folders.
- I deleted all of the extra media files and .nfo/.srt files from the season 1 directory and the show directory
- I re-identified the series and refreshed metadata in jellyfin, telling it to replace all metadata, restarted jellyfin, refreshed metadata again, and let it percolate overnight.
- The episodes appear correctly in their new season folders, under those seasons in jellyfin, however, season 1 still shows 200+ extra episodes as ShowName_x247.mkv etc.
- The orphan episodes under the season still show the extracted frames as images, and still play, showing "Season 1 episode 247" etc in the player title.
- The path to the file is correct e.g. it points to the files in the new season 2,3,4,5,6 folders, etc...
Why are these episodes still showing up under season 1 in jellyfin? How can I get them to go away?

Can you show us the contents of the season 1 folder?

Looks like refreshing metadata a third time just now fixed it.
