Plex keeps matching Farscape as a Movie, seems to be no way to fix

Hi there!

I’m trying to add Farscape to my Plex TV Show Library, and I have it saved to it own folder in my TV Show folder, then separated by season folder. I’ve followed the naming conventions (Farscape (1999) - s01e01 - Premiere, etc) and Plex keeps adding it to the Movie library and mismatching to a one-off Farscape special “Farscape Undressed.”

I’ve tried adding the TVDB ID, the IMDB ID to no avail. I’ve tried Fix Match, Unmatch, removing and re-adding different episodes, and nothing works. I can’t get Plex to stop using the Plex Movie auto-match library, and I can’t get it to recognize it as a TV show. Editing manually also doesn’t seem to do anything. Is there anything else I can do to edit it manually or at least move the show to the TV show library?

Thanks for your help!

This was a new user error (predictably!) :person_facepalming: – of course, as soon as I submitted my post I realized the issue: because I use copy and paste to name many files as I go, and had originally added a typo in the season portion of the episode file name : “se01e01” rather than the correct “s01e01,” the typo was applied to every file name. Of course Plex would struggle to correctly match that.

Thanks for serving as my rubber duck, anonymous forum!
