Plex is detecting couple different episodes of Adventure Time as copies (I think)

Several of my episodes of Adventure Time have this symbol of 3 squares with a number beside them, in the upper-left corner of the episode poster. I google it, and I think it means something about copies? But the episodes it’s detecting are different, and have the correct file name as per plex and TVDB. Also, when I try to play an episode, it sometimes plays a different one. Is there anyway to fix all this?

Look at the episode numbers in your file names.
The first file name says it has episode numbers 17, 18, 19, 20 in it.
The second file has episodes 19, 20 , 21 in it.
There is an overlap here. Both files have episode number 20 in them. So that is what Plex shows you. There are 2 files with episode 20.

You should avoid files with several episoes in Plex. It’ll never work satisfyingly.

Good point. I thought that with TVDB and Plex’s naming scheme that that didn’t mean “through”, but “and”. Anyway, I don’t really have a choice though, that’s the file naming scheme that TVDB and Plex require. The episodes being grouped together wrongly like that wasn’t my choice. I could split the episodes into their separate parts, but I don’t know how to do that without compromising the quality. I think I’ll probably give that a shot, anyway. What do you think?
