    The media library needs to add a switch to disable the default option of merging

    Effective manual intervention ensures the quality of data presentation and greatly improves the freedom of metadata maintenance.

    Prohibit automatic merging of episodes from different seasons to ensure they are in the corresponding season. It is very helpful in solving the problem of metadata not classifying seasons.
    for example https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/223911 It did not divide the series into different seasons. But in reality, it should be divided into Season 01 and Season 02. By manually intervening, Season 01 and Season 02 were created and placed in corresponding files, while the file names were always S01 * *, ensuring that all episodes could be scraped to metadata and also ensuring the correct classification of Seasons.

    But there is a problem, which is that after scraping the metadata, the files in Season 02 are named S01 * *, which leads to errors in the web page, The episodes from Season 02 were added to Season 01, resulting in Season 01 containing episodes from both Season 01 and Season 02, while the episodes from Season 02 were correctly presented on the web.No longer following the structure of the local Season directory.

    After adding the option to turn off automatic merging, the metadata of the series is still obtained based on the file name, but the season follows the classification of the local directory

    Local directory structure:

    XXXX (2015)
        Season 01
            S01E01 - xxxx.mp4
            S01E02 - xxxx.mp4
        Season 02
            S01E03 - xxxx.mp4💡
            S01E04 - xxxx.mp4💡

    The structure presented by Jellyfin:

    XXXX (2015)
        Season 01
            S01E01 - xxxx.mp4
            S01E02 - xxxx.mp4
            S01E03 - xxxx.mp4❌
            S01E04 - xxxx.mp4❌
        Season 02
            S01E03 - xxxx.mp4
            S01E04 - xxxx.mp4
