Server Version#: Version 1.43.0.10492 Player Version#: Server is broken not player I have 2 TV Shows with the same name and year: The Stranger (2020) - TheTVDB.com https://thetvdb.com/series/the-stranger-quibi Folder name: The Stranger (2020) {tvdb-374977} …

Oh looks like a typo here, 01E* instead of S01E* Edit: With this I was now able to see Split Apart on the other show, and library is resolved. Thanks everyone!

Maybe file rights? [How to Fix Plex Not Seeing Folders on Synology NAS DSM]

Thanks yeah it has access there already. It sees all the other TV shows, just not this one. I suspect due to 2 shows having the same name and year, but I provided it with both imdb and tvdb ID’s to no prevail.

The naming alone should be all you need. [image] [image] It could be that they are matched as one show. For the show that you do see can you select the show to view the show’s detail page. From there select the ... context menu and see if you see a Split Apart option [image]

I created two folders in my Testing library and they both were picked up. I named them The Stranger (2020) {tmdb-96608} The Stranger (2020) {tmdb-99282}’ They match but it seems like Plex is marking the foreign version as the US version

Looks like watch.plex.tv only have one of the versions @Atomatth ?

[image] napolij: They match but it seems like Plex is marking the foreign version as the US version Heh, the UK version is the original one :stuck_out_tongue:

No Split Apart option for me: [Split Apart]

Switched to tmdb in folder titles (and .plexmatch) but no luck. I also tried commenting out the tvdb & imdb id’s in the .plexmatch (so it only has tmdb: 99282 but no luck.

Then try and do a Plex Dance on the missing show, then look into the logs afterwards
