Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104 Player Version#: 2.58.0.1076 (Windows) I am trying to index Looney Tunes season 1-5 however, I have two other shows as well - Looney Tunes Show - Looney Tunes Cartoons And what is happening is it is adding the first 2 seasons to Looney Tunes Show and then the next 3 seasons to Looney Tunes Cartoons (the one that started in 2019, not 1930). I cannot seem to get plex to correctly index Looney Tunes as Looney Tunes. I have named the files like: - looney.tunes.01x01.mp4 - the.looney.tunes.show.01x01.mp4 - looney.tunes.cartoons.01x01.mp4 But I cannot seem to get these to split out and catalogue correctly. Any ideas? ---

While true, I have 26 labelled seasons of Looney Tunes and 6-26 work fine in Plex, only 1-5 do not, it seems to be more when there are other conflicting Looney Tunes shows rather than search data is in year format ---

> [@Sammaye](#): > > It’s actually listed as 2020 [Looney Tunes Cartoons - TheTVDB.com](https://thetvdb.com/series/looney-tunes-cartoons) These are new episodes, which have nothing to do with the classic episodes.

DVD order is not available as a library default (it doesn’t make sense, because not all shows do even have a DVD ordering available). Just go to the highest level of each show and edit it. ---

Sorry it’s actually still doing it, I have gone ahead and renamed all my files by the year now and plex, yet again sees all this right telling me t is season 1930, but now it is putting everything but season 1951 in the other loony tunes shows, so it is even worse than it was before. There is clearly something wrong here, like it is using a too liberal regex to match certain files and it is dumping all looney tunes under a few shows. How can I fix this? ---

Ok there has been some change, it has now put everything under The Looney Tunes Show rather than spreading it between that and Looney Tunes Cartoons ---

After renaming files which have previously been mismatched in Plex, you must perform the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) to clear the wrong match. ---

Nope, does not work and I even tried a few tests. So I removed all Looney tunes from scanned folders, did the steps there and then re-added just Looney tunes, not the other two, rescanned and it is still showing all but 1951 as The Looney Tunes Show ![Screenshot 2022-09-22 104246](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/e/1/c/e1c27ab6f88f902695513cd59c33c3b83b4bcf31.jpeg) As you can see I have correctly named everything now but it will still incorrect assign them.
