How to disable empty Seasons? (missing episode fetcher?) - Iacov - 2024-07-15
hey
all the sudden, all my shows (that i don't have specials for) are displaying "Specials" in the season-select screen...but are of course empty
i'm pretty sure that the "specials" are popping up because of the "missing episode fetcher"...but i would like to disable that empty seasons are displayedÂ
does anyone have a similar problem and/or a solution?
thank you in advance!
edit: I have deactivated the missing episode fetcher and rescanned the library for missing meta data... but all the unnecessary seasons are still there. how can I clean up this mess?
edit2: just to clarify... the empty seasons that get displayed have no corresponding folder in my media. eg the season "specials" is displayed for show A but in Show A is no "season 00" folder

There was a new feature added to the TVDB plugin recently called "Missing episode fetcher" that may be on by default. You can find the setting in your library's settings as a metadata provider.
Now to the bad news. Everyone that had this problem had to remove and re-add the show from their library to get Jellyfin to remove the "missing episode" data.

that would really be bad
yeah, i had the missing episode fetcher active and have deactivated it now
was the issue you describe only about episodes? or also about the seasons?
because i have a lot of empty seasons now displayed (depending on how complete my dvd collection is)
i found the most accurate description to be this:
https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/12240 and https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/12208

Both. Episodes and Seasons.

Just so I'm clear -- I have the same problem (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/12208) -- the way to fix it is to deactivate the "Missing Episode Fetcher" listed in the TV shows library, and then remove and re-add each show manually. And once I go through all that, the 'empty seasons' will be gone?
RE: How to disable empty Seasons? (missing episode fetcher?) - TheDreadPirate - 2024-07-15
Yes. Everyone who had this issue had to essentially remove all their content and re-add it or delete the library and re-create it without the missing episode fetcher enabled.

but as far as i can "read" github...the fix is being merged into the next release...isn't there a chance that this all is resolved with the next release without cmpletely redoing one's library?

For me I could fix the series by scanning for missing metadata (with the mentioned PR applied). So no real need to re-add everything.
