Identification issues

[ototos]

The file name parser is a nightmare-ish piece of code.  If it is simple, please submit a PR to fix it.

There are many many tools available to automate renaming your files and folders.  Two things I see are the use of non-english words for "Season", which is a known stumbling point, and no providing both the season number and episode number in the file name.

An example of a compliant structure.

Code:

Gunsmith Cats/
└── Season 01
    ├── s01e01.mkv
    ├── s01e02.mkv
    └── s01e03.mkv

Including the show name and episode name in the file name are acceptable.  I just opted to not include them.

Regarding duplicates, there is a setting you must enable to merge shows across multiple drives.  It is not enabled by default.

All my releases have always been renamed exactly as shown in the screenshot.
If even that isn’t good enough, then we’re really in trouble...
It shouldn’t matter which language the library is set to—not all Jellyfin users speak English. It’s possible to have a series with multiple language entries, but Jellyfin should be smart enough to recognize that it’s the same TV show.
I’ve enabled the Merge TV series option—I noticed it was disabled, even though I was sure I had turned it on before. No big deal, though... Right now, I’m scanning another 4TB of data.
Let’s hope for the best, because for the most important series, I always include both 1080p and 2160p versions. Sometimes, due to automation systems or upload timing, the titles might not be properly translated.
