I think the screenshots tells enough. 01-File should be Episode 1 and 101-File should be Episode 101.
I know I could append a “S01” to the filename but I want to avoid renaming the files because I use a tool that requires the filenames to stay exactly the same.
Change tools.
Your file names and structures won’t work like that.
If you want Plex to behave properly - name and structure your files so that Plex can deal with them:

If that means you maintain two separate versions - one version with Plex Names and Structures and the other in their Original - so be it.
It’s hard enough for Plex to maintain proper operations and happy users with the correct file names and structures - let alone a mess like that.
This isn’t a Plex Problem.
This is a You Problem.
MCEBuddy (Paid Version) will copy files out of an arrival location, name them properly and put them in their respective Library Type - Hands Free.
I am having the same issue, and have all my show names according to Plex guidelines - TV Show Name S00E00.mkv
Please post not only the actual file names, but also the folder structure.
Plus, mention please which folder is added to the Plex library. (Edit your library, go to the ‘Add Folders’ tab).
