Hey there,
I have a series that has a different DVD order than release order.
The episodes are generally numbered in DVD order. e.g. a download of s15E04 is the fourth episode in DVD order, but the second episode in aired order - per TVDB's listings. (Let's say for simplicity that the episode is titled "Number Four")
I have set the series to display "DVD Order", and refreshed metadata with "replace all", and it's not changing any metadata, but I just want to clarify how it is supposed to work:
Am I supposed to have to manually rename the file for "Number Four" to S15E02 (the aired number on TVDB) but then Jellyfin will swap the order around so that "Number Four" appears fourth in the list? Or is Jellyfin supposed to recognize that a file called S15E04 is "Number Four" by referencing the TVDB DVD Order list so that I don't have to rename files?
