Jellyfin mess sorting The Haunting Netflix series (lemmy.world)

Hi guys! How do you sort this series so it shows properly on Jellyfin? It's a bit messy on my system. If I leave it as Sonarr downloads it, as in: The Haunting -Season 1 -Season 2

Then Jellyfin will show episodes of second season as if they're all part of Season 1, just duplicated. Of course if you play them you will watch the second season episodes, but they're in the order as in S01E01 (shows as such), S02E01 (shows again as S01E01), S01E02 (correct), S02E02 (showing as S01E01)...and so on.

I just tried renaming them as: -The Haunting on Hill House -The Haunting on Bly Manor This fixes the S01, as it shows everything as it should (well, in the subfolder Season 1 on Jellyfin, but that's fair I guess). However for Bly Manor it reads it as if it's again episodes of the Hill House. What am I doing wrong, and how can I sort this mess? Ideally in a manner that Sonarr also catches it, so it won't try to re-download everything if I don't pay attention, as this second method doesn't seem to agree with Sonarr (as it's expecting everything under the same single folder).

Thanks!

What filenames are you using? I'd imagine the filename is pretty important for getting the metadata. It might also help to add the year to the show folder.

My normal naming scheme is like this:

"{show name} ({year})"
  |__ "Season 1"
        |__ "{show name} - {season number}x{episode number}"
  |__ "Season 2"
        |_ ...
