Jellyfin mess sorting The Haunting Netflix series - Lemmy.world

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/3090692 [https://lemmy.world/post/3090692] > Hi guys! How do you sort this series so it shows properly on Jellyfin? It’s a bit messy on my system. If I leave it as Sonarr downloads it, as in: > The Haunting > -Season 1 > -Season 2 > > Then Jellyfin will show episodes of second season as if they’re all part of Season 1, just duplicated. Of course if you play them you will watch the second season episodes, but they’re in the order as in S01E01 (shows as such), S02E01 (shows again as S01E01), S01E02 (correct), S02E02 (showing as S01E01)…and so on. > > I just tried renaming them as: > -The Haunting on Hill House > -The Haunting on Bly Manor > This fixes the S01, as it shows everything as it should (well, in the subfolder Season 1 on Jellyfin, but that’s fair I guess). However for Bly Manor it reads it as if it’s again episodes of the Hill House. What am I doing wrong, and how can I sort this mess? Ideally in a manner that Sonarr also catches it, so it won’t try to re-download everything if I don’t pay attention, as this second method doesn’t seem to agree with Sonarr (as it’s expecting everything under the same single folder). > > Thanks!

Name them according to Trash Guides with the imdb code in the name.
Recommended naming scheme - TRaSH Guides

TRaSH-Guides is a comprehensive collection of guides for Radarr, Sonarr, and related media management tools. These guides answer common questions and provide the best settings for your entire media server setup.

This should definitely fix it.

If you don’t want to use Sonarr to rename your files you could give Tiny Media Manager a try.

These Netflix shows are catalogued on both IMDB and and likely more importantly The Movie Db (the default Jellyfin metadata agent, likely what you’re using if you’ve not changed it) as 2 different shows. Not 2 seasons of 1 show.

Hill House is 10 episodes. Bly Manor is 9 episodes.

So you should have 2 top level folders under your TV show folder using them names, folder structure:

—[Root folder] Shows ——[Folder] The Haunting of Hill House (2018) ———[Sub folder] Season 1 ——[Folder] The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020) ———[Sub folder] Season 1

If in doubt always follow what the metadata agent you’re using in Jellyfin. I’ve never had an issue when doing this.

The Haunting of Hill House

The Crains, a fractured family, confront haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.
