Plex ignore additional version of TV show when first is already added

Server Version#:1.23.4.4805

Has two version of tv show in different folders:

  • The Witcher
  • The Witcher (2002)
    When library scan requested it add only one version and ignore second.
    For me 2002 version was first so plex ignore new version. And I just want both to be available.

Is any way to manually add to library?

I guess it’s been added – however it’s mismatched as a different version of the same show.
To confirm this you can filter your library by Duplicates. If the shows are in separate folders you should be able to split it on the show-level. When done you can correct the bad match.

Yes its both tv shows.
Folders structure:
“/tv/The Witcher”
“/tv/The Witcher (2002)”

Links to The Witcher - TheTVDB.com and The Witcher (2002) - TheTVDB.com accordingly.

I was added them through sonarr. So they named and placed properly and automatically.
In sonarr it two separate tv shows.
But in Plex it appears only in one name even if there is 2 folders.
And when first uploaded it was showing image from 2002 year. After new witcher uploaded it was showing old poster but new miniatures in the same plex icon.
After I trigger manually to update library, analyze and check info it change miniatures on each episode to 2002.
But in fact on NAS it still both available.
My library is linked to /tv.

The question is:

  • if you click on Get Info on a single episode or Edit > Info on the show level… does it show you files from both folders?
  • if so… can you simply split them on the show-level > Split

Yes thank you.
You are right in each episode information I can see both files from different folders associated to the same 2002 version.
But how can I remove from each episode and reassociate with other meta information.
As files under information section are read only

You can only split the 2 shows on the actual show-level. You cannot split individual episodes or seasons.

Got it now. Excellent thank you!
