Local metadata reading error? - gpspam - 2024-07-31
I'm getting an error when loading a series into Jellyfin using local metadata (no online metadata scrapers are enabled so none should be pulled). This is happening for the episodes in the series.
What I'm basically trying to do is to create local metadata files so that the episodes have season and episode number data automatically inputted into Jellyfin. However, for this show, I'm running into an error where after a certain point, the local metadata file just isn't being read in that folder. When I copy the video file, thumbnails, and metadata file to another test folder, it gets read right away, but not in the designated folder. What could be causing this problem?
Some screenshots to show what is going on:
As you can see, when the files are moved to a dummy folder, the local files get read no problem. But for some reason, it doesn't work in my show folder. In order to test to see if it was the file or if there was a limit, I made a second dummy folder, with some random videos and used the same metadata template files and the result was it read, numbered, and organized the show how I wanted it to be done.

What exactly is happening to make it so that this is happening and how can I fix it?
