I currently have a problem with Plex, I guess its the agents? I’m using MAL (My Anime List) and AniDB in Plex for my Anime, But currently it comes up with mismatched seasons.
I’m using FileBot to rename my files with the “Plex” format selected, While I understand it does not put the season and episode in the format that Plex likes which is “s01e01” I’ve come around that by putting the correct episodes in their correct season folder like how the Plex Naming page suggests.
An example is that I Bleach separated in to its seasons which is 16 seasons, So I have 16 folders all with their correct episodes in each folder. However, Plex sees Bleach as 2 different files, even though all its files are in one folder but within that folder the episodes are separated into their correct seasonal folder.
I’m not sure why its doing this and I’m not sure how to fix this, This is only one example, but in other files on my Plex it does it also.
Also recently the AniDB agent for metadata does not find all the anime that I have, Like for example Bleach, although it used to I’m not sure why its not now. In the agent page of Plex I’ve signed in with the correct credentials but when I go back to Plex to match it again it still does not come up. Not sure why.

Are you using a different scanner for Anime too, not just a different metadata agent?
A different scanner may require a different folder and file naming approach. But this should be noted in the release thread of that particular plugin.

Or… Try the folder name “Bleach - Season 01”

In the FileBot naming format Do I put “Anime/{primaryTitle}/{primaryTitle} - {sxe} - {t.replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /‘/).replacePart(’, Part $1’)}” with {Plex} or do I put it without.
In Filebot it still does not come up as “s01e01” Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I am using the library Scanner Absolute Series Scanner with the HAMATV agent, But I also have AniDB and MAL. I’m not really sure which of the 3 is best for Anime, I want the Episode synopsis also.

Your formatting string in Filebot produces the output.
You need to change it.
Save your current formatting string ion a text file (just in case you need it for the BABS agent).
clear everything and put just {plex} in it.
(You may need to update Filebot for this to work. If you can’t update Filebot, use the older Formatting string which is also mentioned in the linked post.)

I can’t really tell you. I manage with the default TheTVDB.

I’m actually using the latest version of Filebot 4.7. I just read in the Filebot FAQ that AniDb does not include the season by default. So I guess that means I can change it while keeping the {Plex} string active, Though I’m not really sure.
