NEED HELP ASAP ! - MrSimz - 2024-02-05

Hi there!!! Am a new convert to Jellyfin whom was recently untethered from the clutches of Emby for years now and I am really loving the refreshing joys of my new found freedom. However, I have encountered a few issues I need some assistance on from the experts on here;

1. Some TV Show series will display ‘missing episodes’ but some shows will not.
2. On the TV Shows displaying missing episodes, the missing episode will be there and will actually be shown right after “the missing episode thumbnail”. (see pic extract)

3. How do I view “Upcoming Shows” on the Android TV app? (ver. 0.16.4) I have setup and configured the TVDB plugin and upcoming shows are showing on the server side on Windows.
4. The Android TV app (ver. 0.16.4) will display on the Home-screen multiple instances of the same series but if you go look up the series in the TV Shows folder it will only show a single folder instance. (See pic extract).

5. The android TV app (ver. 0.16.4) does NOT automatically refresh once you “tick” a show as watched on the “Latest Home Screen” section. I have to manually exit the Jellyfin app and re-enter again for it to be removed from home screen.  Tried enabling “Reactive Homepage” in the Developer setting but there was no change, it’s the same issue on the Windows server app side (ver. 10.8.13) as well.

6. ‘Theme Music’ does play in the Android TV app but on the windows server side.
7. ‘Theme Video’ doesn’t play at all on both client and server ends.
8. ‘Next Up’ show episode does NOT automatically get placed on to the home screen until I exit the app (both on Android TV & On the pc side).

Your assistance in fixing all the above issues will be greatly appreciated before I heed the beckoning call again from my former oppressors…..(emby) I mean.

1 and 2: It is because your media does not conform to the naming conventions needed for TV series so it isn't detecting it properly: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows

3: Not sure what you mean by "Upcoming Shows"

4: This has to do with your naming scheme and folder structure like in 1 and 2

5: The "Latest Media" will always show Latest added media regardless if you mark it as watched. To change this, in your profile settings in Home, check "Hide Watched Content from Latest Media"

6 and 7: IDK what you mean by this, it doesn't make sense

8: It should, but this could be because of the issue of 1 and 2


In the future, please do not title a thread like this. It is not informative nor will you get help sooner than any other post

There are no Jellyfin clients (that I'm aware of) that supports theme videos. I've seen some people make CSS changes that allow for theme videos to play on the Jellyfin Web Client, but I'm pretty sure that the Android TV app doesn't have built-in support for this.

As for theme music, are you casting from the Web GUI onto an Android TV? If so, the theme might be playing on your device that you're using to cast (and use as a remote), but Android TV also doesn't support theme music.
