[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

Falling asleep watching TNG or Voyager I can understand, but every moment of DS9 must be savored. You sir are worse than Gul Dukat.

Blasphemy! It is only Babylon 5 that is worthy of such scrutiny.

~*after you suffer through the first season~

I've given it like half a dozen tries and can't get through the first season of Babylon 5. Maybe the 7th time is the charm after I finish Dark Matter.

The first season is rough.

Honestly if you kinda skim and get the story points to learn who everyone is and what is generally going on- moving on to the second season without finishing the first is completely reasonable.

Everyone was trying to work around the actor that played the lead during the first season- he had an unfortunate mental breakdown during filming and was replaced by Bruce Boxleinter for the rest of the show after season 1, but this naturally made everything more difficult for everyone, and the quality suffered temporarily.

Once you get about 3-4 episodes deep in season 2, you’ll forget all about season 1.
