Missing one episode from series in scan

Server Version#: 1.16.0.1226
Player Version#: 3.95.2

I’m having issues with the show Inhumans. I’ve used FileBot to rename the show the correct way, I’ve done the Plex Dance, and episode 8 still will not show up in Plex. Any suggestions?

Double check the filename of episode 8

Unlike episode 1 and 4, looks like that file name for episode 8 is using a special character for the ellipses in episode name rather than just three periods. I’m guessing that is the problem.

I fixed that, and tried re-adding. Didn’t work.

Since it is an MP4/M4V I would double check that the embedded metadata does not also have that special character. (not sure of a linux metadata editor)

Also give this a try if you have not The Plex Dance ™

Maybe my error was assuming my file was good… I tried to open in so that I could look at the metadata and it said the file could not be opened. I’ll try to fix that and see if it will show up. Thanks for the help.
