[Resolved]Jellyfin won't fetch the good metadata (startrek.website)

So I recently-ish upload ST: Deep Space 9 into my Jellyfin (kind of love falling asleep watching it) and some episodes are doubled.

For example in season 4 Jellyfin fetched the metadata for the episode 9 (our men Bashir) and put it on the episode 9 and 10. Now after 10 the episodes are sync on the one before them. It slightly annoying.

I checked the naming convention for the file, seems in order. Tried to refresh the metadata, to no avail. Reboot the server, didn’t work. Only permit Jellyfin to fetch metadata from IMDB, nope

I’m at lost, any idea ?

Edit : what worked was putting [imdbid-ttXXXXX] in the problematic files name and refreshing all the metadata for the folder, in my case all the series

You've solved it by now but this Jellyfin doc article was helpful for me, beginning with the section Naming.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

There at similar guides for TV Shows, Music, Books and other mixed media.

There are also guides for "stacking" multi-segment media titles, for example Lord of the Rings movies which come on several discs.

Jellyfin can be a bit opinionated about detecting bad metadata. The override tags in the media data filename or folder name can help clean that up. In fact, I've started hard-coding those [tmdbid=...] tags in my encoding workflow because I'm just so damned tired of fighting with the metadata feature.

Hope it works form you,.too.
