Originally created by @Jordy3D on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024).
Please describe your bug
Just updated to 10.9.7 after fighting with the Season detection changes introduced in an earlier 10.9.X update (forget which), but upon updating I saw in the console that it was "Creating Season Specials for [Show]" for a couple of shows. It only appears to have occurs for a few (that I can tell, anyway)
So in my view I now have
Show
My understanding is that a Specials "Season" should only really exist if a folder for it does so, or at least not when it's already contained elsewhere
Reproduction Steps
Honestly not too sure what to put here.
I updated to 10.9.7, started the server, and just let it do its normal thing. Settings unchanged betwen 10.9.6 or earlier
Jellyfin Version
10.9.0

@HiPotionQ8 commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
same issue here, it also created "Season 2" for a series that didnt release season 2 yet (i checked, no extra folders)
@Jordy3D commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
When I hid and readded (by creating a .ignore, scanning, deleting the .ignore, scanning) the folders I created, I saw in the logs

which seems like it's trying to create "seasons" regardless of folder structure if the folders themselves don't match what it woulda expected (which doesn't seem to affect other things I would have assumed it wouldn't like, but hey)
@felix920506 commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
Please follow the folder naming conventions as stated in the docs. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows
@Jordy3D commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
Was there a change that made this occur recently? I generally keep to the folder naming conventions, but doing what I've done (as long as the episodes were named appropriately) was never an issue.
@felix920506 commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
This part of the docs has not been changed since at least 2 years ago.
@Jordy3D commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024):
I understand that. I meant in the server version itself.
I've used this folder structure for quite some time without this issue occuring (usually for shows where a single Specials folder is suboptimal for viewing order, or for works where arcs don't necessarily match seasons)
EDIT: Downgraded to 10.9.6, started the server, all the Virtual Seasons were immediately cleared out and folders behaved as I expected, so a change was made in some form on the server. I'll at least leave this here in case there's another like me
@mikewesten commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2024):
I prefer to name my seasons folders as the following..
This has worked fine for years, even if it deviates from the strictures stated in the documentation. It's a good way to name and organize the file system for other reason not having anything to do with Jellyfin usage.
Anyways, v10.9.7 got very strict all the sudden and phantom seasons have been generated for shows in my library in which seasons aren't fully collected and no files or folders for them exist.
@Jordy3D commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2024):
I pulled the project to check the code for myself and it's specifically https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/12050 that caused the change; disabling line 210 in particular of that push, which appears to be important for people who have their folder structure as
have a season folder show up on the show's page.
I certainly at least believe that requiring seasons be in folders in the folder structure is preferable to creating virtual seasons for content already in folders.
I don't see why the "fix" was given an ear while this was given "follow the suggested structure". Both appear to equally "disobey"
@KimPig commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2024):
Any news on this issue? I'm still experiencing this issue despite changing my folder structure.
@nielsvanvelzen commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2024):
This is fixed for 10.9.8
@Jordy3D commented on GitHub (Jul 17, 2024):
For clarification, does this mean that in 10.9.8 there won't be virtual seasons for content already in its own season?
@nielsvanvelzen commented on GitHub (Jul 17, 2024):
A subset of season related changes introduced in 10.9.7 is reverted in 10.9.8 via #12240. According to the testing from various users this fixes the season related issues from 10.9.7.
