My implementation of “.Hack” works fine.
My main folder is named “Hack (2002)”
I have two season folders “Season 01” and “Season 02”
The individual files are named like: “Hack - s01e01 - Pilot.ext”
Note that I have the date in the folder and not in the file name.
Plex considers the folder name MUCH more important than the file name for matching. I do not have a “dot” at all in either my file name or my folder name.
If you change the naming to match what I have you may need to “Plex dance” the series to get Plex to correctly name it:
“Plex Dance” to force Plex to reread the show correctly.
…
Move the folder to a location when Plex cannot see it
Force a scan of the library
Empty trash
Clean bundles
Move the folder back into the library
Force a scan of the library
…
Be sure to do each step above in order and allow each step to complete before doing the next and do not skip any steps.
Also before you do the above be sure the agent “Shows” has “Local media assets” moved below everything else.
I have had it working correctly ever since I added the series to my library with that structure but, if I remember correctly, when I recently set up a server for a friend of mine they used the structure I have shown but they had to do a “Fix match” before it synced up correctly for them.
