Custon TV Show Episode nfo file not being read - linesma - 2024-08-21
I have a couple of shows that I have made custom nfo files for each episode. Up until recently, when adding new episodes to my library, Jellyfin would read the nfo file and add the episode properly. Now it will add the episode using the file name only and not add any information contained in the nfo file. It is almost as if Jellyfin is not reading the nfo file.
How the files are named:
Primer_S05E17 Webley's Improved Government Revolver.mp4
Primer_S05E17 Webley's Improved Government Revolver.nfo
Primer_S05E17 Webley's Improved Government Revolver-thumb.jpg
Contents of the nfo file.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<episodedetails>
<title>Webley's Improved Government Revolver</title>
<showtitle>Primer</showtitle>
<userrating>8</userrating>
<season>5</season>
<episode>17</episode>
<plot>Webley's Improved Government Revolver</plot>
<tagline></tagline>
<runtime>63</runtime>
<genre>Documentary</genre>
<genre>History</genre>
<premiered>2024-06-25</premiered>
<year>2024</year>
<aired>2024-06-25</aired>
<studio>C&Rsenal</studio>
</episodedetails>The nfo files are done in Windows using KDE's Kate. All files are then transferred over to my server where they are added into Jellyfin.
Please let me know if further information is needed and I will provide it.
Thank you.

This issue was fixed by applying an update to Jellyfin. Now everything works as it should.
