I found that rescanning videos seems to skip hidden directories and files.
So, it seems you can rename a directory to be hidden (i.e. with a leading
dot) and rescan.  This will remove the videos in that directory from the
database.  Then remove the leading dot and scan again.  That's easier than
moving files.  However, I tested this earlier and still no metadata for the
series.
