Actually after reading it more carefully I probably see why it didn't work for me, but the notes in the page are bizarre:
* Avoid special characters such as * in M*A*S*H, use MASH instead.
Since when a common ASCII character is a special one? What about more common unicode characters I use?
* Do not abbreviate the Season folder with S01 or SE01 or alike.
I.e. if I put anything not in the folder named "Season XX" it won't work? Ugh... really?
* Season folders shouldn't contain the series name, otherwise Jellyfin can in certain cases (Stargate SG-1 due to the dash and one, for instance) misdetect your episodes and put them all under the same season.
Well, how about to fix it?
* Episode numbering for specials may vary from metadata provider to metadata provider.
Very helpful, so the "Series XX" required above won't always work.
And even if everything above fails why not to sort by name? It should not be hard for any engineer, right?
