Long story short, I didn't create database backups, so I am now rebuilding my library. And of course, creating a backup basically every day. During this effort, I have come across some really strange behaviors, specifically with tv shows.

I have episodes for the BBC Earth documentary titled Life from 2009. When I select maintain library for that folder of specific files in that folder, the files show as being from the recent tv show For Life. This doesn't make sense for several reasons. But, fair enough. I make an xml file making the title of the series Life. When I do maintain library again, I see that the files show a tv show titled Life for a few brief seconds before once again turning into For Life. There are several other shows for which this has happened as well as many movies. But, I logged the process for Life turning into For Life.

I am running Mezzmo v6.0.6.0 on a Windows 10 Pro version 21H2 machine.

Sometimes this happened in the past, but an xml file usually solved it. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<series>
<seriesname>Life</seriesname>
</series>
