Hello,
I’m currently using PLEX and XBMC under the same network folder.
And I’m hancing some issues when it comes to double-triple episodes on the same file.
Current PLEX:
```auto
ShowName - sXXeYY-eZZ.ext
```
Current XBMC:
```auto
Defaults for two-part TV Show Episode will match
name.s01e01-02.ext
name_[s01]_[e01-02]_.ext
name.1x01.1x02.ext
Same with three- or four-part TV Show Episode
name.s01e01-02-03-04.ext
name_[s01]_[e01-02-03-04]_.ext
name.1x01.1x02.1x03.1x04.ext
```
Could it be posible to add a secondary check as s01e01-02, for example?
I guess I'm not the only one having this kind of problems.
KR,
David.
PS: I post this on the public section. But I guess is better here.

As a workarround and since I can’t compile in python.
I have made a couple modifications on my scanner for series removing the E of the second episode.
```auto
'(?P.*?)[sS](?P[0-9]+)[\._]*[eE](?P[0-9]+)([-]?(?P[0-9]+))?', # S03E04-05
```
This needs to be edited in both py and pyc.
Now it's able to detect double episodes at the same time that my XBMC, but not if there are THREE episodes.

Great work around, will this ever be added officially to plex? +1
