Hello!
So I have everything that is the new Battlestar Galactica. Love it. It has a regular series, a miniseries that was the pilot basically, tie-in movies, web shorts.
And I want all of them in the same place - in the TV Shows list under "Battlestar Galactica" as the main item.
But why not using a collection, you might ask? I don't use that feature.
Here is an interesting issue that keeps happening which I wasn't able to fix - please bear with me as it's a bit complicated to describe it. Inside the "Battlestar Galactica" folder I created the following subfolders:
Miniseries, Movies, Season 01, Season 02, Season 03, Season 04, WebS02()S03 Resistance, WebS03()S04 Razor Flashbacks, WebS04E11()E12 Face Of The Enemy
The stupid naming convention for the Web Shorts (the last 3 items on the above list) refers to when they take place, so Resistance for example, takes place between seasons 2 and 3 - this is just to remind myself and so the information is visible on the Jellyfin interface as well.
Here is the interesting part. All folders show up as an entry masked as a season under Battlestar Galactica - except whichever is the last one alphabetically. In this case, that would be "WebS04E11()E12 Face Of The Enemy". This entry was not created, and the files inside of that folder ended up being indexed into the Season 01 "folder" by Jellyfin, that's where they ended up for some reason. I removed that folder and reindexed the whole thing from scratch. Now, contents of "WebS03()S04 Razor Flashbacks" ended up being indexed into Season 01.
Why is that? Why did Jellyfin pick up everything as I thought it would, except the last folder alphabetically, why didn't it get it's own entry on the season "level", why did its contents get lumped together with Season 01?
Thank you.
