Odd naming behaviour with series which have pilots - Ghostly_Ghost - 2023-08-16

Hi guys,

I've put this here as I think it's connected to Identification / Metadata.

I have a UK TV series on my Jellyfin (Waking the Dead, if that helps).  The first series has two pilot episodes - ie one episode split over two separate episodes - and then eight other episodes (all two-parters).

No matter how I name the Pilot episodes - and I've tried putting them in a separate folder called Series 00 - it knocks all the other episodes naming out.  Here's a two screenshots to explain, one from Jellyfin and the other my naming set-up on my Pi.

Help!  It's driving me round the twist Confounded-face

Hey @Ghostly_Ghost

All series have an attribute that allows you to change the Series type. Try setting that to "aired" or another type.
"Edit Metadata" -> "Display order:"

Pilot part 1 should be S01E01 and part 2 S01E02 then rename other episodes to suit as per  https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4860-waking-the-dead/season/1
