Server Version#: 1.8.0.1159-67c4a549

I’m trying to add a show where episode 28 and 29 both get recognised as episode 29.  
Episode 28 is named SB-129 (as I name all my files according to TVDB), but I can’t see to split the two and get the right metadata…

I searched around for a bit but couldn’t really find any solutions.  
Is there a way to split these episodes? If not, how can I solve my issue?

Which TV show is this, and what are your actual file names and the full path to them (for episodes 28 and 29)?

Those should be:

> /volume1/Shows/SpongeBob SquarePants/Season 01/SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E28 - SB-129.mkv  
> /volume1/Shows/SpongeBob SquarePants/Season 01/SpongeBob SquarePants - S01E29 - Karate Choppers.mkv

I know that your naming scheme has likely worked until now and you may not want to change, but you’ll save yourself some future frustration if you go ahead and start using the correct guidelines sooner rather than later:
