Scanner: Plex TV Series  
Agent: Plex Series

The Kardashians (2022) gets matched as Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007).

Manual “fix match” works, though any chance this could be fixed on plex scanner/agent end instead so any new episode would be matched correctly automatically?

Would you mind sharing how those episodes of yours are organized and named inside your library folder?

I’ve got a folder where all TV stuff is being added, i.e. ~/tv/…  
Specific series episode has its own folder named The.Kardashians.S04E01… and specific episode is named as The.Kardashians.S04E01…mkv in it.

That won’t work.

You need to follow Plex naming & organization requirements.

EDIT: You may need to [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) both series after renaming & reorganizing.

[Plex Docs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/) → [Your Media](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/) → [Naming & Organizing Your TV Show Files](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/)

```auto
/tv <-- folder added to library
.../The Kardashians (2007) <-- show_name (intro_year)
....../Season 01 <-- "Season" in English
........./The Kardashians (2007) s01e01.mkv <-- show_name (intro_year) sXXeYY.ext
.../Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2022)
....../Season 01
........./Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2022) s01e01.mkv

```
