Server Version#:1.28.2.6151  
Player Version#:

Plex TV Scanner appears to be detecting the following show:

The Suspect (2022) - tvdb ID - 410905

As

Suspect (2022) - tvdb ID - 420308

Consequently it is not being added correctly to the Library as a new TV series.

Suspect (2022) is already present in the library folder

Plex will pick up the ID tags and list them separately. /TV Shows .../The Suspect (2022) {tvdb-410905} ....../Season 01 ........./The Suspect (2022) s01e01.mkv .../Suspect (2022) {tvdb-420308} ....../Season 01 ........./Suspect (2022) s01e01.mkv
