Here’s what I did to address this. Apologies in advance if code solutions are not your cup of tea I thought Id give it a shot in any case.
This python script will update the plex episode metadata via the API. It determines the episode name from the file name(s). The script is attached.
Set these variables in the script first. The script will work as long as you run it on the same subnet as the plex server.
TARGET_SERIES (Example: Leave it to Beaver)
TARGET_LIBRARY (Example: TV Shows)
USERNAME
PASSWORD
SERVERNAME
