Description of the bug

When new TV episodes are added to an existing series, the "Date Episode Added" sorting does not work as expected. The newly added episodes don't appear at the top of the list immediately after adding them to the library.After reviewing the source code, I found that it seems to be due to the DateLastMediaAdded not being updated after adding a new episode.

Reproduction steps

  1. Have an existing TV series in Jellyfin , assumed to be /video/tv/GNOSIA
  2. Add new episode files to the series folder, assumed to be /video/tv/GNOSIA/Season 1/GNOSIA S01E06
  3. Wait for Jellyfin to automatically scan and add them
  4. Go to the TV Shows library
  5. Sort by "Date Episode Added" in descending order
  6. Issue: The series with new episodes doesn't appear at the top

By checking the logs, I found logs similar to Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.LibraryMonitor: "GNOSIA" ("/video/bangumi/GNOSIA/Season 1") will be refreshed. Further examination of the code revealed that when a new episode is added to the database, it triggers the refresh of the directory of the previous episode. In the database, its type is MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.TV.Season, and the SupportsDateLastMediaAdded property of this type is false. There is also no DateLastMediaAdded attribute value in the database. The page seems to sort by the date of addition according to the episode number, but when episodes are added and updated, only the update of the Season is triggered, not the update of the Series.

What is the current bug behavior?

The series with new episodes doesn't appear at the top

What is the expected correct behavior?

The series with new episodes appear at the top

@moontwister commented on GitHub (Nov 10, 2025):

I can confirm this issue on multiple setups:

Jellyfin Server (Docker & native) running on both Linux (TrueNAS / Debian) and Windows
Clients affected:
    Jellyfin Web Client (latest version, Chrome & Firefox)
    Jellyfin webOS App (LG TV)

Clients not affected:
    Kodi (Jellyfin add-on)
    Infuse (Jellyfin integration)

When sorting by “Date Episode Added”, adding a new episode does not reorder the series in the Web or webOS clients.

The same server and library show correct “latest episode” ordering in Kodi and Infuse, which suggests that the server is correctly storing the DateAdded metadata, but the Web UI and webOS clients are not updating or using the latest DateLastMediaAdded field properly.

Also, running “Search for Missing Metadata” temporarily fixes the order, but that shouldn’t be required for normal updates.
