Hey, so recently started using jellyfin and for Movies it worked realy well with only a little bit of reworking. (Surprised that I had some movies up to 5 times in different folders)
Linux Docker
DSM 7.3.2-86009
jellyfin 10.11.5
But for Anime an TV shows the index is a complete disaster and it seems I cant correct it.
The file structure on my NAS is:
TVshows
|
A
├── Series Name A (2010)
│ |
│ ├── Season 01
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E01-E02.mkv
│ │ ├── Series Name A S01E03.mkv
│ │ └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv
│ └── Season 02
│ ├── Series Name A S02E01.mkv
│ ├── Series Name A S02E02.mkv
└── Series Name B (201
| ├── Season 01
| ├── Series Name B S01E01.mkv
| └── Series Name B S01E02.mkv
| └── Season 02
| ├── Series Name B S02E01-E02.mkv
| └── Series Name B S02E03.mkv

|── Series Name A (2010)

│ │ └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv

| | └── Series Name B S01E02.mkv
| └── Season 02
| ├── Series Name B S02E01-E02.mkv
| └── Series Name B S02E03.mkv
But Jellyfin indexed that like
Shows
├── Bones (there is no such Folder or any episode of this show on my server)
│ ├── Blackadder
│ ├── Buck Rogers
│ ├ ─ Banshee
│ ├── Season 01
│ ├── Season 02
Also 5 Entries for ES Welcome to derry (which i also dont have) each with different other shows linked as seasons.
So it practical indexed multiple TV shows as Seasons of another show (even the meta data)
I tried to correct it by renaming the Folders on the server by
Series Name (year) [external id]
and clicked on scan and update the meta data but it didn't change anything and shows the same.
Is there an mostly easy way to correct this?
