Having Trouble Matching 1 Episode

Server Version# 1.16.5.1554

I’ve been having trouble naming one single episode of a show. The show is Lilo & Stitch: The Series, and the episode is S01E34.

I’m pretty sure it’s not my naming scheme, because I have never had a problem before.
I have the episode named S01E34 - Sample.mkv.

I have tried the Plex dance, while changing the name to match Plex’s preferred scheme (Lilo & Stitch_ The Series - S01E34 - Sample.mkv) and this doesn’t seem to work at all either. It’s almost like Plex can’t see the file.

I’ve tried checking through my logs, but I didn’t see anything. Hopefully someone else can help me with the logs.

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

what is the full filename and path ?

you might check file permissions, make sure plex can read the file.

you might need to remove that underscore…

Lilo & Stitch_ The Series >>>> Lilo & Stitch The Series

The full path is this.
T:\Plex\Cartoon\1080p\Lilo & Stitch_ The Series\Season 1

I’m having Plex scan the 1080p folder.

I just tried removing the _ in both the episode and series, but nothing showed up with a rescan.

Unfortunate episode title, which collides with Plex’s inbuilt rules for ignoring certain files.
Rename it to
Lilo & Stitch The Series - S01E34.mkv

How big is the file? If a file is less than 300mb and has sample in the file name it is ignored. If so, remove Sample from the file name. Info here

Thank you! It is indeed quite the unfortunate title for the episode, but glad to have it fixed.
