Hi Guys,

I’m having an issue with Children Of Dune. There are 3 episodes in this miniseries and TMDB correctly shows this but Plex says there’s 1 or 2 depending on settings but no luck getting the right number. Any ideas? Here’s the page from TMDB Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (TV Series 2003-2003) — The Movie Database (TMDB)

Would you mind sharing what agent you’re using and how you’ve organized/named those files?
Also… what exactly do you mean by “Plex says there’s 1 or 2 depending on settings”?

From what I can find, Plex seems to know the show and its 3 episodes…

The library is using the Plex TV Series Agent. I have used Filebot as a naming tool and the files are named using the match found in TMDB.

The files are arranged in a Dune Miniseries Directory with each miniseries having it’s own directory. I know that Plex is “picky” about the directory structure thing. I find it very annoying that Plex has NO problem finding Dune and correctly handling it but can’t find and handle Children Of Dune even though these files are part of the same “branch of the tree”. As a software engineer I can say that this is poor design. Plex’s focus is WRONG. It’s job is to play media files. Thus, it’s focus should be file oriented and yet it’s more worried about the directory structure. If the Plex’s focus was where it should be these problems wouldn’t exist to the extent that they do.

These problems don’t exist unless you create them which you already seem to know

Yet you’re here asking for help anyway

I would link you the support article on naming and organizing your media but I’d be wasting my time, wouldn’t I?

Thanks you just clinched it. I’m DONE messing with this POS.

I already helped you with this show in detail weeks ago

You listened to none of it and now you’re back giving tom an attitude on top of it

bye

GFY… I didn’t give ANYONE and attitude until YOU started with your smart ass comment. You guys just don’t like it when someone who knows what the ■■■■ he’s talking about points out the obvious FLAWS in your piece of ■■■■ server

And now this is locked.
