Your Bug Report

Describe the bug

One of my tubearchivist channels doesn't correctly show Seasons in Jellyfin, leaving me unable to play any videos.

Steps To Reproduce

I have several channels in TubeArchivist that work fine, but this one never does (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCncbOtiyIkJosXs_J1Nhmxg).

I have tried deleting the channel from TubeArchivist, and re-adding the channel, but I get the same issue.

In jellyfin, I can see the video under "Up Next", however, clicking on it gives me a "Playback Error: Unable to find a valid media source to play." Yet, the media is definitely available to Jellyfin.

If you notice in the above screenshot, the problem seems to be that this plugin was unable to create a "season" for this channel.

Expected behavior

A season would be created with all the video from tubearchivist.

I'm also having a similar problem. Either there are no season folders or for channels that have been around for a few years, it seems that random season folders are being created - season 1, 2, 7.

This is known bug. It's deep in the Jellyfin codebase. It is due to be fixed at the next Jellyfin update. @DarkFighterLuke should have more details about this.
