For the show “24”, episodes at the 24th episode won’t show up in list/season settings-info when episode is “/TV/24 (2001)/Season 2/24 7am-8am.mp4”
but will if the filename includes s02e24 part:
“/TV/24 (2001)/Season 2/24 s02e24 7am-8am.mp4”
https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/
“The most important bit in the file name is the appropriate season and episode number notation s02e17, which in this example means Season 2 Episode 17”
Not a bug.
Name and organize your files per Plex documentation.
Actually it is a bug. I believe it has to do with the directory name and episode filename both starting with “24”. All of the other episodes show up/work as intended with the s00e00 part omitted from the episode filename, just “00 episode title.mp4”. I also have over 10k other episodes in my library named the same way with no problems.
Not a bug.

If you renamed the media AFTER putting it into the library section, then Plex Dance it so it matches
Again yes. You’re obviously not comprehending what I’m saying. Also, just thought I’d try renaming it to “024 7am-8am.mp4” and that actually works. Here’s my directory:

No. You aren’t.
You have been pointed to the official naming guide for tv shows in Plex, right in the first response.
This is the only officially supported way. Other ways may work – until they don’t.
Look, perhaps you can re-direct me to an official email address I can send my bug report to. I am not here to argue with other people, I am here to point out a problem I’ve run into the program with, with information of what led to that problem. It will then be up to the company making PMS to decide how to approach this in the end.
That is not an officially supported naming convention.
As mentioned earlier, other naming schemes may work but nothing is guaranteed outside of the recommended ones.
This isn’t a bug as we cannot account for every possible file name out there, and this is expected behaviour when the filenames stray too far away from the expected.
I guess a simple “thanks for the information” is not apart of anyones vocabulary then.
