Duplicate episodes tagged as 'missing' - willowpillow - 2024-07-01

Hi everyone, my first post here!

I'm having some trouble getting jellyfin to scan my series folder properly. I'm getting duplicate missing episodes of each episode as follows:

Code:
S01e01, s01e01 'missing,
S01e02, s01e02 'missing'

... and so on.

Here's the folder structure and naming convention I'm using with an example from the show 'The Boys':

Code:
The Boys >>> Season 1 >>> The Boys - S01E01 - The Name of the Game WEBDL-2160p-HDR10Plus

Could this be somehow throwing off jellyfin's parser and causing the issue I've explained?

Any pointers would be much appreciated! Thank you.

PS: I've also had jellyfin generate .nfo files for each episode under the same folder for convenience. Could that have something to with this bug?

Could you explain in more detail (or a screenshot) of what a duplicate missing episode is? An episode can't be missing more than once.

I would say it might have to do something with the naming of the episodes. Maybe everything after the "S01E01" part is making Jellyfin give you this issue.

Try looking at the documentation for how to name shows: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows

Thanks for chiming in! I tried deleting all the .nfo's and recreating all the metadata from scratch, which seemed to have fixed the problem for now. Newly added seasons with the same title naming convention also do not suffer from that issue anymore, so I guess it was a bug of sorts.
