SOLVED: Seasons and episodes display the wrong show name

[Efficient_Good_5784]

I have removed the offending plugin, and it's working. But I'm confused about how that should happen. It's one thing for an anime plugin to jump in and say "this is the show" and fill in the wrong data. It's another for me to use the identify feature to manually choose the correct show, or edit all the metadata I can find, and for it to still be wrong. I want to understand how that can happen, but, um...

You don't have to remove the plugin, you just need to disable it for the library (unless that is what you did here).

The reason it was still pulling in the wrong metadata is because the anime plugins will always miss-detect it as "Dimension W" and store that, even if you told your server that it's another entry from another metadata source. This is fine as long as you have the anime metadata sources disabled for the library because it will ID it as the anime but never actually replace any metadata. The only time this becomes an issue is if you're mixing anime and non-anime content.

I can edit the season name just fine.

...
When I go to edit metadata for the season, I can change the name of the season, but not the name of the show.

There's something wrong here. You should be able to edit the name of season.

I am not sure why you keep talking about editing the season name, even after my clarifications? I don't feel like you're reading what I'm writing? :<

My bad. Still, Jellyfin allows for all metadata to be manually edited.

What you're seeing in the season view as the show name will change to what's saved as the "Title" of the show. You maybe need to reload the browser or clear your cache in some cases to get it to show properly.

You got it fixed, but for me to understand what is (or was) happening, I still need to see a screenshot of what you were editing.
What you described should not be possible unless it's a bug. And from what I know, there are currently no reported bugs that prevent manual metadata edits or changes.
