My player keeps playing same episode instead of all other episodes

Application keeps selecting same video for all episodes I try to play. I have several episodes of a program but when playing specific episodes on any device, keeps bringing same video.

I re scanned library and change episodes file name. All have different file names. Was able to play the file on regular media player on the computer but PLEX keeps getting the same episode, no matter which one I choose.

Server Version#:
Player Version#:
Tuner Make/Model:
Guide/Lineup name:
Using XMLTV?:
Channel number/Name:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

How exactly are those files named?
From the sound of it this could be different episodes contained in a single file – in which case Plex will display each episode individually in your library but play the full file whenever you click on one of the episodes.

It is different episodes from SNL. They are all name differently. There are not repeated episodes or part of the same. Any episode I choose, keeps getting back to a specific episode. If I try a different episode, name differently, it plays the same constant episode.

Easiest thing to do is just take a screen shot of the files in file explorer

Go into the TV library and filter it by episode instead of TV show

Then filter that for duplicates

See if anything shows up related to this show

I did that but not a single one of the SNL

Which episode keeps playing? Have you tried to mark that episode as played or remove that one from the folder Plex can see?

You should probably try to play a random episode. If the that same repeating episode starts again stop it, then wait a minute and download your logs

Maybe someone can see by looking at them why it keeps selecting the wrong episode

I even moved the last two seasons to a different drive. Keeps playing same two videos and if I change the title for that video, it choses a different one and keeps playing the wrong video.

I rescanned the library but no luck. I don’t know what else to do.
