How to partially unmatch (just an episode or a season?)

When unmatching, its only possible to do so for whole series. I've had some problems with similarly named series having seasons being picked wrongly, and i'm interested in unmatching only those seasons (or even episodes), but i can't do it.

 

Is there any obvious way to do so that i'm missing?

 

(For note, i'm specifically having problems with Shameless (UK and US), as well as the (multiple) TMNT cartoons, as well as several other CSIs)

 

Thank you,

Joao

there is no partial unmatch, are you following the exact show naming from the naming guide and www.thetvdb.com?

Yes, i am following the naming guide.

Ok, so you can't unmatch, how can you remove just a series then, without having to destroy a section and recreating it? Is the only option moving the folders away, rescan, then back and rescan? Isn't this something that should be more obvious? 

Personally, I don't think it's such a far fetched thing to do.

Thank you,

Yes, i am following the naming guide.

and they are named exactly as per www.thetvdb.com?

Do a deep scan, then upload your Plex Media Scanner.log file

I have the same problem with Shameless and I must conclude that this is just the Plex server problem. My TV shows and episodes are downloaded with Sickbeard then made available via DLNA (Serviio), XBMC and PMS. On both DLNA and XBMC the shows are separated correctly between US and UK versions. On Plex they are all mixed.

Kind regards,

I can give a workaround for now, not sure if it would be considered a solution. It seems like when this happens PMS seems to get locked up which in my culprit show’s thetvdb webpage had “invalid option” which likely confused PMS so I wouldn’t blame PMS personally. While in Plexweb put one of the episodes on deck so simply just goto some point in a episode and pause it. Navigate to the shows title and then after you click the three dots it should give you a option to fix the match. I hope this helps someone else in the future.
