If the problem is that the titles on the device no longer look like "A Series 5 - The Title", then the above is the problem. The metadata plugboard only has the series index, not the series name. But, there are some extra characters, so that might have been a copy-paste error.

In any case, the following is what I use when I want the series info in the title on the device:

Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
I don't use this with my Kobo devices as they display the series info separately and I can sort on it.

But, I'm not sure if that is the problem you are having. You don't actually say where the series info is not appearing. For a Kobo device, it could be the title as above, the series info displayed, a collection named after the series or part of the file name.

The two things I would check is that you are still using the KoboTouchExtended driver. If the books are not being sent as kepubs, then you are not using this. Or if it is disabled in the plugin list. Or you can check which driver configuration is opened when the device is connected and you right-click the device button and open the configuration from there.

The other thing to check is that "Metadata management" on the "Sending books to devices" is set to automatic. If it is not, then the driver won't do collection management or series info updating automatically when the device is connected.
