Followed the Plex Dance instruction twice but still same result.
It’s still get scanned as 1 episode with two versions, same as the screenshot I posted earlier.
May I please see the Plex logs ZIP file as well as a ls -la of one of your Season directories ?
THANK YOU! This worked perfectly
I took the liberty of adding 20 seasons - 120 episodes each (which is more than reality). ( I have a script which generates dummy files for testing & verification cases like this )
The scanner grabbed them all and was able to obtain metadata properly for all which exist.

Again renaming the files to that naming convention is not an option since all my files are in absolute naming convention as seen here , the issue is not the metadata , the real issue is that it doesn’t pick up the files at all in the library for episodes with 4 digits
One Piece - Episodes - MyAnimeList.net u can see the list here
you guys just keep pushing that naming convention as if that’s everything there is , and it isn’t , what we actually need is support for 4 digits episodes…
Nevermind i found a scanner that does what i need on github thanks for the assistance.
Can you give me a viable example (actual names) of 3 digit vs 4 digit ?
If that’s all that’s needed, I’ll write it up.
Is it as simple as
S01E0999 -v- S01E999
Does that also cause it to fail?

Came here to report that absolute numbers fail, so just One Piece - 999 vs One Piece - 1000
I’ll do my best to recreate cleanly and submit to Engineering as enhancement request & bug report

Recreated
“One Piece - 999.mkv” FOUND
“One Piece - 0999.mkv” NOT FOUND.
Submitted to engineering.

Hi what was the scanner that you found that works?
Bug still there
If I may?
It’s not a ‘bug’ in the traditional sense.
It was a design consideration. Episodes 1-999 (3 digits which allows 2 episodes of a “daily” program - which is 730 episodes maximum ) in SxxEyyy format.
I have submitted the request to engineering to allow 4 digit episode numbers.

The latest update seems to have fixed the problem!

What name scheme are you using for your episodes? Because this def. still isn’t working on my end. I’m using absolute numbering though (Name - XXXX.mkv).
Not working here either, which scheme are you using?
showname - yyyy is not supported.
Plex only supports the SxxEyy pattern.
If you want to use absolute numbering, you still need to use S01Eyyyy.
Hm, I guess I hadn’t updated my ASS for a while this does indeed now work perfectly. Tyvm.
The problem is that Sonarr does not really support that.
I don’t use that software, so I can’t tell anything definitive about it.
But from what others tell about it, you can freely define the naming it uses.
Sonarr does support Plex’s format.
Please consult the documentation for details.
- Standard Episode format:
{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title}
- Daily Episode format:
{Series Title} - {Air-Date} - {Episode Title}
- Series Folder format
{Series Title}
- Season Folder format
Season {season:00}
Note: to support wider episode fields, change as needed
e.g.
{episode:000}{episode:0000}
Season {season:00}
These two examples are dependent on Engineering implementing 4-digit episode fields.
