Hey there – got two episodes for a series that keep merging with each other.  
I have control over how to eventually rename the files, but would love to know the communities’ opinion.  
The files are (with paths):

```
/share/anime/Acchi Kocchi/Acchi Kocchi - S1 - Place=Princess [Femme][Blu-ray](6dc5b152).mkv
/share/anime/Acchi Kocchi/Acchi Kocchi - S2 - Special 1 [Femme][Blu-ray](275bf003).mkv

```

These entries are named using [anidb.net](https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8890 "anidb.net").

Any tips on how these files can be named without having Plex merge them?
