Hi,
I recently noticed that I had mislabelled a Big Bang Theory Season 7 subfolder as "S07E01E02E03E04E05E07E08", with the other two subfolders (each representing the content of the original DVD it was ripped from in its original file structure) correctly labelled, so KODI showed me all episodes from season 7 with correct titles and artwork, except for episode 6 which I had forgotten to include in the subfolder name.
I renamed the subfolder, but episode 6 did not show up (unsurprisingly), so I made a library update, which then 'imported' icon with art for all 8 episodes, but did not remove the old 7 episodes contained in the original subfolder name, so I then had 15 episodes. The strange thing is that where the original 7 episodes of this subfolder, and the 16 episodes in the other two subfolders each had their own artwork with what I believe were screenshots from the respective individual episode, the new artwork was the same image for all the first 8 episodes that came after I changed (and corrected) the subfolder name to "S07E01E02E03E04E05E06E07E08". So I now had 23 episodes in total with the correct individual episode artwork and 8 episodes all with the same artwork as the first episode (which was also one of the original 23, so a total of 9 identical images).
I wanted to clean up the mess, so I removed the Season 7 folder (with the three subfolder each containing 8 episodes) from the Big Bang Theory main folder, ran a Clean Library, then reimported the Season 7 folder into the Big Bang Theory main folder. I now have all 24 episodes correctly named and each with artwork, BUT: the image is the same for each episode of the respective subfolder it is placed in, i.e. episodes 1 - 8 have the same image, the original artwork for episode 1, episodes 9 - 16 all have the image from episode 9 and 17 - 24 all have episode 17 artwork, so just three different images each shown eight times, where I before had individual and different artwork for each of the (then only 23) episodes.
I have not done any manual work on the scraping or importing of this TV show, originally or now, so why does it behave differently, and how can i get it to show correct individual artwork for each episode again?
Thanks for all good suggestions :-)
