This is a biazarr one, the early DR who that stated in the 1960s se01e01 does not work with this series as S01E01 may have 4-8 physical episodes that make up that way that they are named now is there a way of doing this ie S01E01a S01E01b ect or is there some code that could be added to plex to allow manual naming ???

the original series S01E01 = part 1 the unearthly child
part 2 cave of skulls
part 3 forest of fear
part 4 firemaker

What exactly is the issue?
Do you have a file with several episodes in it or something else?

You can do this by putting .part1, .part2 in the filenames.

Example:

Doctor Who S01E01.part1.avi

No, it does not if you name your files as they are listed at TheTVDB.
As you can see there, episodes 1 through 4 are all part of the first ā€œmeta-episodeā€.
You just use s01e01 through s01e04 for your 4 files and all should fall into place.

There is no need for the -part 1 method.
