I'm having trouble getting Jellyfin to show the correct episodes. The show in question is DuckTales, the 2017 version.
At first Jellyfin defaulted to the 1987 version. I then set all the IDs to the 2017 version in both the show settings and the season settings, and refreshed with "replace all metadata". After that the show and season info all got the correct 2017 metadata, but the episodes' metadata were all still from the 1987 version. I tried wiping some metadata manually and refreshing, but Jellyfin repopulated all fields with 1987 metadata.
Then I tried changing the display order from Aired to DVD (which is what I would want anyway), refreshed, and suddenly all episodes switched over to the 2017 version. I don't know why this triggered the change and not anything I did before, but at least it's progress.
However, although they now have the correct show, the order is not DVD, but Aired. No matter which display order I choose, Jellyfin keeps showing the Aired order. What's going on? Why is it so difficult to change the show ID in the first place, and why does it fail to show the order I choose?
