Anyone know how to correctly Tag Animaniacs (2020)?

Have all five seasons of the original from 1993. Adding the new one and labeled it Animaniacs (2020) and it thinks it is season 1 from 1993 (duplicates entries). When I tried as Season 6 of the original it doesn’t add metadata.

Any help?

Did you leave it under Animaniacs (2020)/Season 6/S06E01
Or without the (2020) in the folder name?

TV Shows/Animaniacs (2020)/s01e01.ext
May have to manually search for the meta to pull the correct year.

These should be Animaniacs (1993) / Season 6.

Animaniacs - Hulu Season 1 - Season 6 - TheTVDB.com

I made some test files. I get art and metadata for it!

So the files are 3 episodes in each file. How should I name my files, even if I do opt for the season 6 format?

S06E01E02E03
or
S06E01-E03

Thanks mfelch…

Tried your suggestion and Plex now just lists 2 episodes, that point to the same file.

This is covered in the official documentation https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/

My personal advice: split the file. [HowTo]: splitting multi-episode files with MKVtoolnix GUI

I just looked how I have the files in season 1 named. Looks like it like S06E01-E03 better.

Where did you find the files that have the3 to 4 episodes to a file? All i can find are ones that are 1 file each but some are labeled wrong.

I ended up just naming each file with the episode it begins with. Sure I don’t get all the metadata in plex for each episode, but looks like the TVDB is the main culprit on this one.

What a clusterfuffle.
