My TV Shows that I added onto iTunes are not being sorted on iOS 8.2. Worked on prior versions (8.1.2 and 8.1.3). Reinstalled iTunes and factory reset my iPhone but the issue still occurs. Home sharing also has this issue.
Anyone else having the same issue? I have 30 different TV Shows and it's only showing up as if it were one show.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.2
TV Shows are only sorted by Director under sorting options instead of Show Titles. Temporary workaround.
I have the same problem!!!
Solution:
Go to file properties in iTunes - Sorting tab and fill in the 'Director' field the same as your 'Show' field is.
I Have the exact same problem and I just noticed it today. I just submitted a bug report to apple regarding this problem with a link to this very thread, so they can see the picture you provided.
DId anybody else submitt bug reports?
I had the same problem (10.10.3 public beta & iOS 8.2).
Adding the show name to the Director field did work. However, I did submit a bug report.
Not sure if anyone added this bit of info,
It seems to only affect random devices, I have a iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad Air Two and only my iPad Air Two is having this problem, rest of my devices are sorted fine.
Getting really irritating at this point, since I have to watch my shows on smaller screens.
Apple needs to resolve this fast.
I have the exact same problem, and it's driving me crazy!
Adding the show's name to the Director tag is NOT an option, as I have a bajilion TV shows.
I would have been less upset about this if this was just another OS bug, except this is the second huge bug in TV shows since iOS8 was released (the first being that the TV shows cover doesn't sync at all and is left blank on the device).
I've sent a VERY angry but report to apple about these issues. No response of course,
Easy fix. You do not need to put the show name into the 'director' field. Any entry will do. I use the word 'test'. Select as many shows as you wish and put a word in. It works for me but I would recommend trying a few at a time.
Just to be clear here, you do NOT need to write the show name in the director field, you just have to populate this field with ANYTHING. For me it's clear it is a bug that hasn't been caught yet, so if it's empty, it messes up the sorting. I just type an "X" in the director field because it's far quicker than typing the show name.
You just have to populate the "director" field with ANYTHING. It seems to be a bug that hasn't been caught yet, so if this field is empty, it messes up the sorting. I just type an "X" in the director field and re-sync. Everything will be perfect again.
