Tvos 9.2 Home Sharing - Tv Shows

Prior to Tvos 9.2, home sharing tv shows displayed different seasons of the same tv show as separate menu items. That is Show 1- Season 1, Show 1 - season 2, and so on. I updated by Appletv yesterday and noticed that now the shows are grouped together, and that a click on a show name takes you to a list of the seasons.


Problem is that the seasons are now out of order, and in some cases the season tagging is ignored altogether and a group of shows is just lumped together. Within the season screen itself the shows are in the correct order. I have restarted the atv and closed and opened iTunes on the host computer.


Anybody seeing similar behavior?

I had the exact same problem, but I was able to fix it. It is your release dates. I don't know if you are dealing with shows that you have ripped from your DVD collection or ones that you have purchased from iTunes. I'll tell you what I did to mine to fix it. In my instance, the show was Star Trek Voyager. Two of the seasons had bonus features on the DVD. When I ripped them and edited them in Subler before adding them to iTunes, I put in the original air dates for all of the episodes in all seven seasons. But since the bonus features never aired, I put their release date as the release date of the DVD set. So when I went into the Apple TV, those two seasons were at the top, because the bonus features in those seasons had a more recent release date then even the last show of the last season. I hope that makes sense. When you figure out which shows are messing you up, you can edit them in Subler, which is a free program for Windows or Mac, or you can just edit the release dates in iTunes. Let me know if this works out for you.


By the way, it only takes one episode in that season to make the entire season out of order in the season list. I made the bonus features release date the same as the last episode of the seasons.
