No tv shows for Jellyfin on Synology [SOLVED]

[seamus]

Sorry, slow getting back to the forum...

I guess we need to start with the basics. I would have only ONE directory, The X-Files (1993) [whichever service you use], for x-files under the "main" directory "movtvshows".

In the The X-Files (1993) [whichever service you use] place,
└── Season 04\
            ├── S04E01.mkv
            ├── S04E02.mkv
            ├── ...

No other file names but episode names like above.

Double check you installed plugins,

Edit your TVSHOWS library, make sure the plugins are "turned on",
Make sure the Library is enabled with the check box.


My NAS is TrueNAS. My folder paths differ from yours, such as /mnt

Then try and [Scan All Libraries]

I am so glad to see you   

I have not installed ANY "Plugins"... never!  However, under the "Dashboard", under "My Plugins", I see five (5) plugins: AudioDB, MusicBrainz, OMDb, Studio Images, and TMDb. I'm guessing these were installed by default when I installed Jellyfin on my Synology server?? I'm pretty sure that two of the 5 of "My Plugins" are turned on in "movtvshows" : 

When I click the "Manage Library" item for "tvShows", I see that the movtvshows library is "Enabled", and under "Metadata Downloaders" I see TMDb enabled for "TV Shows", "Seasons" and "Episodes", and OMDb enabled for "TV Shows" and "Episodes". I did not have the other one (TVDB), but I found and installed it.  BTW, your second screen shot attachment is too small for me to read. 

In conclusion, I'm guessing that: plugins are "turned on", and the Library is enabled.

In an effort to follow your instructions specifically, I first removed all files and folders I had created previously; these were all placed in Synology's "#recycle" folder. Subsequently, I moved one of the series and season folders and a single file episode back into the movtvshows "share"/tvShows "library": 

/volume1/movtvshows
∟ The X-Files (1993) [tmdbid-4087]
  ∟ Season 04
    ∟ S04E02.mkv 

When I click "Refresh metadata", the library shows nothing/zero; changing "[tmdbid-4087]" to "[tmdbid-4087-the-x-files]"  then to "[tmdbid-tv4087-the-x-files]", etc, etc...

I think THIS is where my problem is... GD TMDB has zero documentation on how this is constructed, and I've guessed incorrectly about 10 times now. Do you know how this is done?? 

~Thanks again!
