Series.xml Question

[blackhawkfan42]

I just finished running maintenance and still having same issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by having xml files in the season folders that may be overriding the series.xml. I've provided some pictures that will hopefully help out. Thanks again for all of your help. You can see that metadata is working on the episode level.Directory 1.PNGDirectory 2.PNGMezzmo View - Properties.PNGMezzmo View.PNG

Last Pic didn't upload. I believe it's too large. It shows the metadata for an episode when I right click and select properties.

In your 'Season 01' folder, you have an XML file for each episode video. Mezzmo will read these for each episode video, and that will override the series.xml file contents. Please post the contents of one of these episode XML files.

Sorry - I understand your issue now. You are not seeing a series description for your folders (but your actual episode metadata is fine).

In the current version of Mezzmo (v5.0.5.0), we do not populate a folder's description metadata based on series.xml files within that folder. This is a good idea and we'll implement that for a future version of Mezzmo.

Great. Thank you so much for assisting. You saved me a lot of time trying to troubleshoot. I'll look forward to it in the future. Thanks again

Paul,

Do you know if this feature was ever added?

I am currently having the exact same issue and can’t figure out why.

I'm currently running Mezzmo Pro 5.2.1

Thanks,
