Separate from the CLI tool **Abort** issue - what type media Library & what agent? The **Plex Movie** scanner/agent doesn’t typically need these “[Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064)” / hokey-pokey workarounds.

Running a `Scan` from the Web UI or the command line should find the same files. I haven’t had different results from one vs. the other.

I’m curious - if you look at your Library and filter for **Duplicates** , perhaps some of the media has been incorrectly matched and is stacked with other shows.

It might also be helpful to share your current file naming and directory structure.
