I have several seasons of the old Columbo TV movies which correctly appeared under TV shows until recently. Now they are under Other (I think after the last Infuse update) and if I try to edit the metadata - I get one choice of “Columbo” and if I choose it - it does not go to TV Series.
It looks like you have a “Mrs Columbo” folder inside of your “Columbo” folder that also holds your Columbo seasons. It also appears you have another “Mrs Columbo” folder on the same level as the “Columbo” folder.
I’d start by moving the “Mrs Columbo” out of the Columbo folder. Then do an Edit Metadata on one of each of the series and see if that gets them back in order.
When I edit metadata I get one or two correct titles followed by the wrong date. For instance Ironside mar 28 1967 ( should be sep ‘67) and same thing for the others Colombo, Paper Chase)
If you’re getting Kate Loves a Mystery for the Mrs Columbo files that’s the only option now, TVDB may have had an entry for Mrs Columbo at one time but they’ve done a pretty major overhaul of their site and it now is only an AKA for Kate Loves a Mystery.
Any way you could do a screen shot of the Edit Metadata screen for Columbo? I still think we are taking about two different things.
As to going back to version 6.3 I don’t think there is any way to do that.
Just went back and re-read your posts and wanted to clairify something. When you do a metadata search for example Ironside you said that you got the wrong date. You said it should be should be sep ‘67. Just to clarify something, the date you see in the Edit Metadata when you do it on an episode of a TV series, it won’t be the air date of the episode it will be the first air date of the series so Ironside is March 28, 1967.
I think you’re missing my point. There is nothing wrong with the file naming and until recently everything sorted correctly into seasons in TV. Now maybe 30% of the TV series go into Other. I also have a Clear all metadata 1GB option in settings …is it possible I ran out of memory? But why now? Something like 90 of the my previously correct TV series videos are now in “other.” Note I have two Apple TV’s. …one 4K and the other is the previous generation. They both do this as well as my iPads and phones
Is this affecting any other series or just this one?
Are you able to browse to these episodes via folder favorites? If so, do the words ‘Local Metadata’ appear in the top right corner of any of the folders?
4 series are 100% in OTHER ( Columbo, Mrs Columbo, Paper Chase, and Ironside). One Perry Mason Episode is in other but the rest of the Perry’s are properly in TV
The only folder the above are in is other and they don’t have the metadata info…just a picture from the beginning of the video and the resolution info. I couldn’t see the local metadata anywhere. Seems it is on all devices … iPad, phone, Apple TV
The TV shows that were not doing this are shown in the picture above (ie Death in Paradise)
I’ve got the exact same problem with the new Cosmos Possible Worlds 2020 series. It use to work (use to be metadata there for it weeks ago) but constantly got deleted or put back on the list of metadata again to select for It. It’s now just showing and using the original Cosmos series which was years back and the not the right episode titles or year.
Cosmos Possible Worlds 2020 was weirdly available to select on the iPhone iOS infuse 6 app, but not available to select on the AppleTv 4K list. Or vice versa on my iPad app. Kept going on and off to edit to choose in the list. Now it’s completely not there. I’m a yearly subscriber to infuse so I’ve got the latest updated apps on all my devices.
Nope it was classified as Cosmos Possible Worlds S01E01-13 on IMDB. I was able to select the right metadata originally in the drop down list after searching for the words Cosmos Possible Worlds, but it kept messing up and being removed from the list .
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey 2014 is a completely different season/series name and would also be classified as S01E01-13.
