    How do I organize a TV show with over 100 episodes in a SEASON? I am trying to get metadata for Dragon Ball Super, and the show is technically 1 long season. But after episode 99, it starts treating each episode as the beginning. So episodes 101-131 have the wrong metadata that coincides with episodes 1-31.

    I don't really know but have you tried putting 101 to 131 into a second folder and calling it season 2 and see what it does? How do you have it named? Just Dragon Ball Super or name (date) or name(date) tmdbid-##### or you could try others like imdbid-tt#### to see if it pulls different info.

    Possibly need to rename the first 99 episodes 001, 002, 003, 004 etc. Then the scraper would see triple digit episode numbers from the start? Best idea I have as I don't use JF scrapers and my seasons over 100 episodes are fine through the Kodi scraper with just 2 digit expanding to 3 at 100 episode numbers.

    Ya i have tried everything I can think of. I tried putting episodes 101-131 in season 2 but it still rips metadata for episodes 1-31 for those. I also tried renaming it, identifying it with the correct IMDB number, etc. I have to be missing something, as there is no way I am the first person to run into this problem reading wrong.

    Ok! I will try renaming. So just to confirm, you're saying name it "Episode 001"? I appreciate the advice regardless.

    Yes, that is my suggestion. No idea if it will work but my theory is it forces JF to see all 3 episode digits from the start. Otherwise it may be an issue with the resource you are trying to scrape the episode information from.

    You could try tiny media manager. Its a program that renames files and does the scraping for all the info and saves it to the file that the show is in. you can use it to rename just the one show or your whole library.
