"Scan metadata" creates fake seasons - ilia21 - 2024-07-14 Solved: file names contained SxxExx in their names and jellyfin was creating seasons based on that I have a problem. I have the following folder structure: └── Sword Art Online     ├── 01 Season 1     │   └── metadata     ├── 02 Season 2     │   └── metadata     ├── 03 Gun Gale Online     │   └── metadata     ├── 04 Ordinal Scale     │   └── metadata     ├── 05 Alicization     │   └── metadata     ├── 06 War of Underworld I     │   └── metadata     ├── 07 War of Underworld II     │   └── metadata     ├── 08 Aria of a Starless Night     │   └── metadata     └── 09 Kuraki Yuuyami no Scherzo         └── metadata After I refresh my library jellyfin adds extra seasons to the page without corresponding folder to them:         I cannot delete created seasons because "Jellyfin has no write permissions". This is wrong, because jellyfin is the owner of all subfolders and media files in the directory How can I prevent it from adding new seasons? It messes up my library and is super annoying because to remove the fake seasons I have to rename my folder and rescan it.
