How to prevent TV Series Merging/Duplicating

I just updated to the newest version of Plex and suddenly all of the TV series I ripped are merging/copying episodes. When I cancel it and choose “Split” multiple versions of the first episode appear in the list - 24 versions of episode one, season one now show up. I did not change any of my settings so I am not sure exactly why this is happening, other than the updated version of Plex is very flawed.

How can you stop the program from updating the folder? I set it to update manually, but it still does it on its own. This is driving my nuts, any help would be greatly appreciated.

This new update of Plex is causing so many problems it’s unbelievable.

All you can do is follow these instructions for file naming and structuring TO THE LETTER:

No alterations, no deviations - TO THE LETTER.

After that it’s a crap shoot.
