The result for this format

Paw Patrol (2013) - **S08E01-02** - Pups Save a Runaway Rooster and Pups Save a Snowbound Cow [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 2.0][DA+EN+FI+NB+SV][x264].mkv

Every other episode is listed and you don’t get anything that repeats on autoplay

Every individual episode is listed but the first 2 episodes get repeated before it moves on to episode 3 using autoplay

To summarize

**S08E01-02** (every other episode listed no repeats)  
**S08E01-E02** (every single episode is listed but the full file repeats one time)

If I understand correctly you would like to replicate my first example and screen shot for every season so you don’t get any repeats

I tested both of these formats on Plex Web, Plex for Windows, HTPC, and a FireTV and it’s consistent

Mobile devices may not support multipart naming at all (I don’t know)

I don’t know why it’s not working for you. The only thing I can suggest is to [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the seasons giving you a problem and see if re-adding them fixes it

@PolliSoft you may not notice any problem with how you have your files named if you don’t use the autoplay feature

In your case episodes 1 and 2 would play and episode 3 would get added to the continue watching row as you would expect it to under normal circumstances
