    I was re-organizing my library and reducing the file size of various shows where possible. This process included removing a select show/season out of its respective library/drive, either replacing the video files with smaller ones or just taking it out to put into a new drive then scanning the library, making sure the show/season disappeared from the library and making sure the metadata no longer showed for that show/season, then putting the files back in once ready. This would typically work before when doing so, however once the show/season was added back - it doubled up the episodes and made the respective poster blurry as well as showing the original path in the metadata manager.
    Here are images for both the blank episodes and metadata manager doubling the series for Pokemon and The Handmaid's Tale.
           

    To attempt to remedy this, I removed the library folders for each section of my library that was setup (Anime/TV Shows/Kids TV), scanned all libraries, verified everything was gone, shutdown the server, did a re-install to the same version, and started the server back up. Unfortunately, once the folders were added back to each library in the dashboard - the doubling occurred once again.
    I am going to attempt to replace all metadata in each library and see if that works, I would imagine this is a glitch that is known of and hopefully fixed in a later release.

    I am using Jellyfin 10.10.7 on Windows 11 direct install. The typical folder structure for each library (each section listed above has 3 folders in it with the same structure)
    Folder 1: Drive > Additional > Anime (or TV Shows/Kids TV) > Series Folder > Seasons > Episodes
    Folder 2: Drive 2 > Anime > Series > Seasons > Episodes
    Folder 3: Drive 3 > Anime > Series > Seasons > Episodes
    Go to solution
