Recently found that the file name containing [ ] cannot be scanned,
for example [CONAN][S01E901][VC][WEBRIP][1080P][AVC_AAC].mp4
cannot be scanned and added, but the same format was used before There is no such problem with naming.

This will be scanned in just fine

CONAN S01E901 [VC][WEBRIP][1080P][AVC_AAC].mp4

This won’t

[CONAN][S01E901][VC][WEBRIP][1080P][AVC_AAC].mp4

Thanks for your reply, I used to have a lot of files in a similar format that could be scanned in my library, but recently I found out that this naming is no longer supported.

things in brackets have always been mostly ignored because it is generally just additional data like it 1080p AVC whatever that has no bearing on finding a match

About 9 months ago plex dropped support for the [SSxEE] format and any format that uses [ ] in order to formalize the fact that you can hide unwanted information in [ ] which was an unofficial process prior.
