    Ok noted.
    But don't you think that this procedure is a little bit complicated for such a simple updating process that should be properly handled by the library management?????

    This is a bit complicated, all I was trying to prove here is make sure that Mezzmo didn't think the files are corrupt (that is why I wanted to see it under the orange folders list as that shows everything)

    Once everything is setup it runs very smoothly (as long as your media is stored in locations you have told mezzmo about)

    Looks like there are now 2 ways to set everything up

    The way I have it is use the Insert at the top and then select Folder, do this for all the main folders of your library (don't need to include subfolders), then run a maintain library after doing this
    Alternatively use the Tools, set up your mezzmo library option and add the main folders into here, then perform a maintain library (not sure if this is new in V4 but for me this is blank)

    Are the problem episodes in a different location to the others?

    I put all new episodes in the proper folders next to the existing ones.
    Anyway Development Team has to work it out in my opinion.

    Did that fix it?

    I am just a user like you (just trying to help with a few ideas), its only about 1:30am for Mezzmo guys, so you might not get a response from them for a while

    Not a problem.
    I really appreciated your recommendations but I think that from the library management (expecially for TV shows/series that can bu subject to frequent updates with new additions) this software has great margins of improvements.

    Not sure how you have everything set up, but this is how mine is done (I add tv shows daily and it works fine)

    My files are all stored under E:\Videos, so what I did was under insert, the folder, added the folder E:\Videos

    The layout of this is

    E:\Videos\Movies
    E:\Videos\TV\Series_Name\Season_Number

    So all my movies are in one folder, tv shows are split up by series name and season number

    I use that structure for everything

    So because I added the E:\Videos under the insert folder option, everything here is auto scanned with a maintain library

    When I uploaded my TV shows for the first time I selected "Scan Drive/Folders" and files have been automatically added to TV Series active playlist (without any input/section from me).
    They have not been added to an "orange" folder.
    Maybe this is the reason of the missing updates.

    Sorry for late response, just went for food

    It could be, if these latest episodes are in a different area on your computer

    If you do the insert, add a folder and make sure all your main folders where you store items are added, then you should be good to go (its a while since I set mine up so cant remember what it defaults to when you first run the app)
    It doesn't matter if you store them in different locations, the metadata that maintain library gets will group them all together properly under the series playlist
