Server Version#:latest  
Player Version#:latest  
It seems that even if the show video file begins with ShowSuchandSuch.S01E01… but somewhere in the body of the title there is something that can be construed to be a season/episode signifier, the last string wins. that show video title contained mx000c4x9 (or something similar, BBC program code). Plex ignored my opening indicators, and instead opted for season 4, episode 9. Most certainly, overzealous! Any chance to squash that?  
thanks in advance!

Place the mx000c4x9 in square brackets (i.e. [mx000c4x9] )and PLEX will ignore it. FILEBOT, or MyTV should be able to rename them in bulk if you have many shows/episodes
