ios 8.2 tv shows not getting grouped / sorted properly

I have same issue too. Please let us know how to fix it...

Same issue!

You beat me to the punch! I woke up this morning and ran into the same issue...extremely frustrating!

I'm using an iPod Touch 5th Generation, syncing with iTunes 12.1 on a MacBook Pro.

I thought it was just me.....so I waited to post. Same thing here!

I did a test with an new iPhone 6 last night. upgraded it to 8.2 over the air and it sync'd the shows just fine. Debating about backing up my device and then restoring it to see if it fixes anything. But that will take hours to do 😟

iPhone 6 Plus 64gb, Windows 7 64bit Enterprise, itunes 12.1 (since the latest version killed Home sharing for me)

I think I may have found a solution. In my library, all of the shows were grouped together except for one, so I went to see what the difference was. And the only difference I could fine was that the "Director" field under "Sorting" was filled in. And it seems if you populate Director with any data, everything returns to normal and shows sort themselves out separately on your iOS device as they should. If there is a logic to this, I don't know what it is... but it seems to sort the matter out.

Genius....pure Genius.. I test a few show, and they sync'd correctly. So I had to go in and modify that for the other 30 unwatched shows. Too bad it wouldn't let me do them in mass, that field is grayed out. 😟

Thank you for finding a work around!

MNSearcher: That is odd. I was able to select all of the shows and edit the information for multiple items to do all of them at once. Obviously that may not be the case for all, but it was a quick solution for me.

I found this same issue; in my case it happened because I had purchased one episode in a series and the others were ripped. Now I note that any shows without the Director sort field filled in get grouped together as one show.

Why the **** was this change introduced? Is it just to keep the goalposts moving for people with large media collections who like them organised? Honestly the nonsense of having the music app use "Album Artist" rather than "Artist" was bad enough - how many bloody tags do we need???

I should say I dont care if Apple wants to introduce these changes to sorting behaviour, but two pretty basic policies should be obvious to anyone: don't make it default behaviour and add a freaking control to the app in settings! I suppose in a future update they'll add a "Group by Director" switch to the video app like they did with music, only years too late....

I have the same issue. All in season order and show order etc. but now all mixed up when i go into videos on the phone or iPad GRRRR

Another change may be the use of the Ep ID tag as well as Ep Number, so making those two fields the same may help. Honestly I don't get why there appears to be two or more fields for some of these; lack of standards when content is digitised?

still does not show tittle of show only season number. I have never moaned about apple, but receently certain things with apps and now this have started to make think. if its not broken why are they trying to change it 😟

I've got a load of shows I've ripped myself and they're fine. There are three places you need to put the show title in iTunes (I'm assuming you're using that): on the initial tab and then the sorting tab; if you have it in all three places you should be good to go.

And I agree, I don't get why weird stuff like this is happening - even if I wanted to sort by director, there's no way I can see to do that in the video app and why the **** would I put the show title there? Can we not just fix the broken stuff Apple without creating new problems?

Nope went into tabs on iTunes all fine and sorted nicely. put the names ID etc and checked all tabs. However the ones i put my phone or IPAD it just shows season Number for. No big drama unless i have 2 different shows all being say season 2 then they are mixed up. Can see the name so again it is more annoying than anything else.

appreciate your help though
