Editing scraped items

[StrixMaxima]

Hello,
I'm setting up my home server, and in a few instances, the auto-scraper placed the same items in different lists, as in this example. The Episodes from Season 2 were also populated in the Season 1. I tried rescanning, but it didn't help.

Is there any way to remove the duplicates without deleting the media or messing with the files directly? Thanks!

Can you provide example file and folder names? And is this a Shows library type?

Surely, you can find the Media info for both duplicated files attached. And yes, this is a Shows library, sorry for not mentioning that. Appreciate it.

Your file names and some of your folder names don't conform to our documentation.

Dashes are used with special functions like multipart episodes and such. Also, the season folder should simply be named "Season XX".

Code:

Haganai I Don't Have Many Friends\Season 01\Haganai I Don't Have Many Friends s01e01.mkv

Haganai I Don't Have Many Friends\Season 02\Haganai I Don't Have Many Friends s02e01.mkv

Also, you need to make sure that the metadata source you are using supports multiple seasons in one listing. AniDB typically keeps seasons of the same show as separate listings, but TMDB and TVDB will groups seasons under one listing.

Thanks for the assistance. It's a pretty large, old collection that I tried to import as is, for brevity's sake, after reading that the scrapers usually do a good job with stuff that's not 100% according to the suggested structure (and I agree, it was mostly scraped quite well).

I'll try renaming them as suggested. Will refreshing the metadata then fix the duplicate issue, or is there another way to deal with that without moving files and reimporting it again?

Loving Jellyfin so far, great job!

Rescan, select "replace all metadata".

When I first started using Jellyfin I had to rename A LOT of files and folders. At the end of the day, you are interacting with Jellyfin, not the file system. Make Jellyfin happy and you will be happy.
