Server Version#: 1.32.5.7210
Plex will not find episodes if there is a “-” in the episode name. For example the following Episode is ignored by the scanner: Serien\Schillerstraße {tvdb-79834}\Season 04\Schillerstraße - S04E13 - Das Tai-Chi-Video.mkv
If I rename it to Schillerstraße - S04E13 - Das TaiChiVideo.mkv the file is found and matched correctly. I am using the new Plex TV Series Scanner
Please post the first ~20 lines from the Plex XML info of one of these episodes…

I assume your library has been pointed to J:\Serien\ and not a single level above, nor below it, right? i.e. you did not add this show individually to the library
Go to the top level of this show (by clicking on its title).
“Edit” it,
go to the “Advanced” tab
set the “Episode Ordering” to “TheTVDB (Aired)”
Save
Wait a few minutes. You may have to “Refresh Metadata” of the whole show.
See if that changes anything.
I’m guessing it’s because your filename ends in -video which is a reserved suffix for extras, so it’s getting recognised as an extra and ignored.

I’ve missed that one totally!
I’d probably work if you just change the last character to something else, or append something afterwards, e.g.
Serien\Schillerstraße {tvdb-79834}\Season 04\Schillerstraße - S04E13 - Das Tai-Chi-Videö.mkv
oder
Serien\Schillerstraße {tvdb-79834}\Season 04\Schillerstraße - S04E13 - Das Tai-Chi-Video[x].mkv
Thank you, simple fix. Missed the -video ending completly
