> ok did a few things. renamed using the referenced method above. moved the whole folder into my tv folder and followed the [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and it worked. So not sure what… but it worked. I was able to merge the spiderman cartoon that was giving the same issue.

Whenever Plex mismatches content due to bad namings or embedded metadata, it holds on to that bad match. Even if you rename the media files or remove the embedded metadata.  
In this case a full [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/908454/#Comment_908454 "Plex Dance") is required.
