I am running a server from the Windows installer, currently on version 10.8.10 as I'm trying to organize everything and get it up to date.
Here is the problem:
There are some movies that are "Part 1" and "Part 2" of a book adaptation. Initially, Jellyfin seemed to treat this situation as expected: two separate movies, with "Part 1" and "Part 2" in the name, which will automatically get added to a collection in order.
Example: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. There are two separate movies, which Jellyfin kept separate in the list of movies, labeled "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2", giving me the expected 8 movies in the full collection
For some reason, this has changed at some point, and they now show as a single item, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", which has a nested Part 2 when you view its page. This is also the case with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, which has two parts, but only showed as a single item as soon as I loaded it in, it didn't even stay separate initially like the other one did. This in unintuitive to me, and I would like these movies to always be displayed as separate items.
Ideally, there should be an option under Edit Metadata, or a general server option, for grouping movies like this, and please let me know if such an option exists, as I wasn't able to find it. Assuming it doesn't, I think the best solution for now is to try to find a workaround to force these movies to display separately, but I have been unable to find one after deleting and re-adding the movies several times in different orders, including locking the metadata of one before I add the other one, so I'm looking for any help in trying to get this to work in the way I want it to.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I believe I gave all the relevant info since this is a general Jellyfin issue that's probably not specific to my system, but let me know if I need to provide anything else
