I have multi-episode files named according to guidelines, yet they do not show up individually.

Change `S01E01-02` to `S01E01-E02`.

Hmm that indeed worked although the docs do mention both work, so a possible bug?

They said they supported episode ranges by using such as S01E01-02 within the last 3 or so months. This actually upset me, as I was using that naming scheme to HIDE multi-episode files from Plex. _(I HATE the way Plex implements multi-episode files, and some such files I have have episodes that are backwards)._ So if your server isn’t totally up to date, that might explain why your server doesn’t recognize one of the official multi-episode file types?

If your server **is** up to date, then… hmm. Wonder if they failed to implement it, or reverted the change?

I’m running v1.32.6.7557 as of now, Plex tells me that it’s the latest.

The alternate syntax only works with the new agent.

Is this the new agent?

It is.  
Has the library been completely converted to the new agent?  
What happens if you Refresh Metadata on the whole tv show?

Yes, the library was converted to the new agent immediately upon the public release of the new agent.
