    Hey community! Im trying to clean up my library before I share it with my family, and I've struggling to get Mythbusters specifically to have its metadata detected properly by Jellyfin, and I've come to an impass. This post is me giving up, I need someone elses help.
    I think the error has todo with the odd season names where the Season folders are not Season 1, Season 2, etc. but Season 2003, Season 2004, etc. I could be incorrect in my assumption, but NONE of the seasons are assigned a 'TheTVDB Season Id' by Jellyfin and thus none of the episodes are detected or have any metadata, nor do the seasons folders even have appropriate images. Is there a method to get shows with unorthodox season structures to detect properly? I even went so far as to enable 'Import season name from provider' in the tvdb plugin settings, hoping my matching Season folder names would fix it. No-dice.
    Folder Structure:
    .
    └── Top-Library-Folder/
        └── TV-Shows-Folder/
            ├── Example Show 1
            ├── Example Show 2
            └── Mythbusters/
                ├── Season 2003/
                │  └── MythBusters (2003) - S2003E01 - Jet Assisted Chevy
                ├── Season 2004
                ├── Season 2005
                ├── Season 2006
                ├── Season 2007
                ├── Season 2008
                ├── Season 2009
                ├── Season 2010
                ├── Season 2011
                ├── Season 2012
                ├── Season 2013
                ├── Season 2014
                └── Season 2015
    Not including all files in each folder or expanding every folder for obvious reasons, but this should demonstrate the structure.

    Does anyone have any information that could help me? Much appreciated for all that took the time to read!

    First, I'm assuming that the Shows library is "TV-Shows-Folder" and not "Top-Library-Folder".

    Second, the season folder names need to be "Season 1", "Season 2", etc., since that is how TMDB and TVDB organize seasons in their API.

       

    And this would apply to the file name as well. "s01e01"

    Correct I have a separate folder for movies.

    Ah-ha! Ok this is what I didn't understand! Sonarr sorts the series into Season folders as shown above using the year, which means it does not get detected correctly by Jellyfin. Upon manually renaming the season folders and writing a script to rename the episodes, as I dont believe Sonarr has a way to rename Seasons (correct me if I'm wrong). Upon doing this and re-scanning the library, they get detected correctly and now fetch data and pictures! Thanks.

    I could have sworn there was a setting to have it organize and name files/folders to conform to {insert preferred media server}'s naming conventions.
