So I have installed the TV DB plugin, then created a library that is Content Type: Movies and Shows, and then scanned the folder.
I have Season 1 of Supergirl recorded. It shows up as Supergirl 1984 with the blue circle to show there are 11 sub items. When I select it, under "Version" I have all the episodes
However, the cover art is the movie. I'd like to get it to display it as the TV series.
However, if I select "Identify" I'm presented with IMBD, TheMovieDB, and The MovieDb Box Set as options (with no options for the TVDB).
When I search on "Supergirl" I get only movie results back (unsurprising, given I'm only searching movie DBs).
My suspicion is that once it was initially identifed as a movie, I can't get Jellyfin to search with the TVDB. If I try to edit the metadata, again I get the option for the movie dbs, but not the tv DB.
I have that same problem with Gunsmoke and the Rookie, but not with How I Met your Mother or Big Bang Theory.
My file structure is: /mnt/mythtv/jellyfin/Default/Supergirl
file names such as 'Supergirl - 2016-01-25 - Strange Visitor From Another Planet.mpg'
(where the mount is to a mythtv folder on another server, populated by mythfill)
The working directory example is :
/mnt/mythtv/plex/Default/The Big Bang Theory with files such as:
'The Big Bang Theory - 2019-04-18 - The Inspiration Deprivation.ts'
It looks at least like everything that has a name that's a movie AND a TV show has problems. Only a TV show works fine.
Thanks for any insight.
