Plex incorrectly identifying TV episodes

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
4

Perhaps you renamed the files to a conforming name schema only after they were already (incorrectly) matched.

If this is the case, you still need to perform the ‘Plex Dance™’ to erase their checksums from the plex database.

[optional: disable the SubZero plugin if installed]
[only when “treating” music, step 4 can be omitted]

  1. move all files for the show out of ‘sight’ of Plex
  2. do a Scan Library Files in the web app (not ‘Refresh all’)
  3. Empty Trash
  4. “Clean Bundles”
  5. double check naming schema and move files back
  6. Scan Library Files again

[optional: re-enable the SubZero plugin if installed]
