Elite S00E01-E03 not assigning properly

Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707
Player Version#: 1.33.0.2444-a220eae4
Hello, I am having a problem with the TV series Elite (IMDB,thetvdb)

I have S00 (extras), it has 12 episodes, the episodes 04 - 12 assigned properly, but S00E01, S00E02 and S00E03 all assigned as S01E##
What can I do? I already tried renaming the episodes to 0x01, rename folder to “Season 00” or “Season 0” instead of “S00

Did you refresh your metadata after changing to Season 00

I emptied library trash, scanned library files, refreshed metadata, analyzed each wrong episode. Didn’t help.

Multiple Episodes in a Single File

If a single file covers more than one episode, name it as follows:

  • /TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName – s02e17-e18 – Optional_Info.ext

Where you specify the appropriate season, episode numbers (the first and last episode covered in the file), and file extension.

Note : Multi-episode files will show up individually in Plex apps when viewing your library, but playing any of the represented episodes will play the full file. If you want episodes to behave truly independently, you’re best off using a tool to split the file into individual episodes.

Sorry I probably got you confused with my original message, I changed it so it’s not confusing anymore, it’s three files, S00E01, S00E02, S00E03. Those are the ones that got assigned to S01E01, S01E02, S01E03.

If an “episode” you have doesn’t appear in TheTVDB (e.g. DVD Specials or goof reel), place this content in the Season 00 or Specials folder named using s00eYY using a false “YY” number (e.g.: Heroes s00e99). The show will be available to play in a Plex App but won’t have any special metadata gathered, such as a summary.

The TheTVDB has the three episodes I am trying to add. Élite - Aired Order - Specials - TheTVDB.com (E01, E02 and E03)

The trick is following the instructions:

Here’s the ‘Other Trick’ - when you haven’t followed the first trick and are renaming/restructuring files in the library after they don’t work:
