Server Version#: 1.25.9.5721  
Player Version#:  
  
So I have some episodes of Boruto all in the same folder

For some reason, the Plex TV Series Scanner is detecting the majority of these episodes as Season 2 (despite there not even being a season 2, it uses absolute numbering), while only some of them as Season 1. They are all episodes 207+ so no episodes before episode 200.

Not sure what is going on here, tried multiple things like putting it in a season 1 folder, putting dummy files in a season 2 folder to differentiate it, and then the new server update was released with the .plexmatch files. So I tried to make it so that this whole folder is recognised as Season 1:

This still changes nothing. The only thing that works are the episodes I specified, but a new episode releases each week and I don’t want to do that. Shouldn’t specifying “Season: 1” not make every episode in that folder from Season 1? Thoughts 🤔?

And your library are using the new native Plex agent?

And if so, do a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) and after that, upload a zip with your logs

Yes, I am using the new Plex Agent.

[Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) was completed, unfortunately, nothing changed.

Here are the logs:

Yes, but episodes can’t be digested as `S01E238` when the filename only contains `238`

So either keep specifying `ep:` in the `.plexmatch` file or change the actual filename
