Why is there no feature to correct mismatches at the episode level?
I followed the convention, did all the heavy lifting, and Plex still gets it wrong.
As far as I have read around the forum, I believe that I am in compliance with the accepted naming convention, yet Plex still thinks this episode is for season 4.
…\Dark Angel\Season 01\Dark Angel - S01EP05 - 411 on the DL.mp4

Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
Afterwards, ‘Refresh Metadata’

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]
move all files for the show out of ‘sight’ of Plex
do a Scan Library Files in the web app (not ‘Refresh all’)
Empty Trash
“Clean Bundles ”

Hmm, thought I read that E or EP was fine.
Thanks, that did the trick.
Just a quick thanks for this, I had the correct file names but had not seen the “Plex Dance” before:-) but it worked well! Peter
