Series gone missing

Hi,

I had all my series nice and tidy in my series folder, without me doning anything with them. It was awesome... until a couple of days ago I started messing around in the console and now there are no - absolutely none - series in my series folder.
I tried to undo my messing around but no luck.
So my folder structure on the HD has not changed at all, that was working as it is.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Now about a screen capture of your presentation settings in the console? Can you tell us exactly where you were tweaking?

Yes, attached the three screenshots I thought were relevant.
I'm not really sure, what I tweaked. I know I removed the categories that I really didn't need.
Also previously I changed the language to my own and series started to show up divided.
Like some seasons were in English folders with English names and the rest were in the other.
And then I tried to fix it, and now they are all gone.

At the bottom of your Presentation panel (not shown in your screenshot) there's a checkbox labeled "Show series in relevant categories only". Is it checked?

Under "Descriptive Metatdata" (second screen shot) you are telling Serviio to use .nfo files as the source for your Metadata. This is what is used to work out what file belongs to what Series. Was this your intent to use .nfo files?

If you don't use .nfo files (or dont know what I'm talking about :-)), change this back to Online Metadata Sources, press Save and then for good measure press "Rescan Video Metadata" and "Force Refresh". It may take some time for them all to re-appear.

I changed it and just for fun's sake I removed all my shared folders and re-added them.
Actually I think it was Online by default, I think I left it on .nfo when I tried to fix it.

So far so good. I'll see when all sources are rescanned.

Thanks a lot.


Update: It worked, thanks.
