Supposedly this is just the series scanner so your movies should be safe. for now…
so to anyone going through this pain, beware we can keep our old file names as long as we add nothing new to that containing folder.
Series_Name
Season 1
Series_Name [1x01].avi
Season 2
Series_Name [2x01].mp4
If you add something new to the Season 2 folder (like the properly named Series_Name s02e02.mp4) plex in its infinite wisdom will wipe its knowledge of any other files in that folder (Season 2) and you have to rename them all correctly.
Unlike @shawnkhall I only changed what I needed, my library is 20 years big and I’m not about to start bulk change things when i don’t have to.

seriously plex… it was all so perfect why did you have to mess with what works…
no podcasts, less powerful parser… bah!!!
