File name structure for unknown episode number - blaspheme_scroll - 2023-06-29

Hi, i have a few tv shows where the episode numbers don't match the movie database meta data.

I have tried rmeoving the episode number form the filename and just have TV Show Name   Season Number   Episode Name:

e.g. Adventure Time S01 Slumber Party.mp4

How can i use this for the meta data to correctly list the tv show episodes in Jellyfin? atm it just shows the episode exactly like the filename and does not give it an episode number.

I had some issues with Adventure Time as well.

One thing I do know you need to change is the file name. Mine is something like...

/Library/TV Shows/Adventure Time/s01e01.mkv

Or something like that. No episode name. Show name in the folder, season and episode number for the file name.

I may have had to do something else, I can't remember off the top of my head. If that doesn't work for you, I will try to retrace my steps when I get home from work.
