Plex always merges completely different videos into one video with multiple versions without authorization, but I don’t need to play multiple versions, my videos are completely different. Plex’s behavior has seriously affected me. I have to change the names of the videos that are clearly in the same series to completely different names, and the sorting will also become chaotic. I hope that at least add a feature that allows me to adjust whether to classify videos as multiple versions of the same video. Or at least let me cancel the wrong merge.

My video is not a traditional TV program that is distinguished by a season or episode (I hope it is displayed like a TV program), but distinguish between morning and evening performances on the same day.

It means that I use the date to name but my video has different version on the same day. And they are merged.

Can you be a bit more specific as for what type of library you’re using (incl. its agent from `Manage Library` \> `Edit…` → `Advanced` \> `Agent`) and an actual example of that naming schema of yours?  
If you deviate from the official naming schema, there’s always a chance that’ll mess up your library’s content…

That being said… Plex already has an option to split items that were accidentally merged. The `Split Apart` option is available in the context menu of merged movies and on the show-level for TV Show based media.
