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.
I’ve just checked and it’s there again in the list on the iPhone infuse app along side with the 2014 series. But when I select it, it still places it in the other list even after going in and selecting it for each episode.
First, Infuse uses data from TheTVDB not IMDB. If you use the structure that James provided you will get the correct metadata. Cosmos Possible Worlds is the second season of the 2014 series Cosmos
Here is the explanation directly from TheTVDB site admin
That’s super weird. There is multiple consensus from users on that site and even production companies and sites like IMDB that indicate it’s a totally brand new season mini series (S01). You would think because they change the titles every time for each mini series it would automatically become a new single season.
I am guessing I have to select Cosmos (2014) in that drop down list in Infuse edit metadata and change the names to each episode Cosmos S02E01-13 in the network folder… Not Cosmos Possible Worlds S02E01-13.
It wouldn’t work originally before when I changed it to Cosmos Possible Worlds S02E01 like James said. But now when I change the files to Cosmos S02E01-13 and go into infuses drop down list under edit metadata and select Cosmos (2014). It now changes it to Possible worlds episode names but has no way of it saying that it’s called Possible Worlds. TVDB admin are weirdos to make a significant change like this to a totally new mini series which should fall under a Season 1 naming.
Doggone it. It happened again. Same TV series moved from TV to Other. Not sure what triggers it.
This time I nuked everything. I deleted the shares and rebooted everything and started from scratch with shares, etc. Now its OK again. The TV Series are in the right spot. The Library scan is slowly going through the database update but everything looks good so far.
