Hi @NC_Bullseye@james, I’d love to reopen this issue in some form. Although this isn’t a local files issue instead my files are coming from a Debrid WebDav. I didn’t want to create a duplicate issue so please feel free to open another post if this doesn’t fit here.
I am having a weird issue where some tv show files are not being included in the right collection. The TV show in this example is ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ and I can see that the show exists on TMDB.
Weirdly though, season 1 of the show (with different file names) is not being included into the right collection. Normally I’d resolved this by using the ‘Edit Metadata’ feature and manually searching for the TV show, however, in this case, it’s not working? When I search for ‘Mayor of Kingstown’, there are no results.
Yet, as you can see, my Infuse has already detected it for season 2 so obviously it shows up. Yet when I manually try to edit the metadata for season 1 episodes, there are no matches.
The file name or directory structure needs to reflect both season and episode number. The most efficient is the S0xE0x format in the file name. It appears your file name only has 01 which Infuse will see as a movie and only search the movie database on TMDB.
Is there a way to deal with this if I don’t have control over the filenames? I’m getting content over a WebDav server from a debrid service so I can’t edit file names.
I understand that there are guardrails for the metadata series but perhaps there needs to be an override for situations like this? That or perhaps let use some how emulate a file name change for remote files?
Currently about your only option is to support a suggestion that is requesting to allow searching both TV and Movie entries in TMDB. You can add your support here by liking the first post in the thread.
