Hello, all. I'm very new to Jellyfin and have been playing around with it for a few months now. Haven't really had any trouble with any media but Dragon Ball shows up in the wrong order and it's been a hassle to try and sort it out so far.
I'm wanting to order the show using the Funimation saga that is shown under Sagas on the tvdb website. I have the tvdb plugin with the proper API key installed. I believe I have my folders set up correctly; Dragon Ball (1986)>Season 01-Season 09, all episodes named "Dragon Ball S0*E**" and have tried to identify the series using the tvdb code.
The tvdb site itself says Sagas are "usable as 'Alternate Order' in API-connected systems". I have gone into the series to edit the metadata to change the Display Order but have no option for "Alternate Order". I chose Story Arc and see that the movie db has matching sagas as to what I want under their episode groups. Season 1 through 3 are fine, but it gets weird after that. The English sagas show as 9, but there are some sagas online that combine seasons 3, 4, and 5 as a single saga. It appears that's what my Jellyfin is attempting to do even though I have files/folders split into 9 separate seasons.
TMDB shows almost the same Sagas and says to use Story Arc but seems that it uses a 1x*** naming scheme for episodes. I tried to 1x*** naming in a single folder but then the show only had the single season and not split up into the sagas. I then moved them all into Season folders accordingly, but then every episode showed up as the first season.
I haven't ventured into creating my own .nfo files because I'm hoping I won't have to go that route. I've gone back to my original naming system and only seasons 1 through 3 are correct. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and appreciate any help!
I've attached a screenshot of how the show is populating now. Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 are out of order and pulling the wrong images. Season 1-2 and 8-9 seem to be fine and showing the correct episodes as well.
