I use .plexmatch files to properly remap anime to TMDB’s sometimes seasonal and sometimes absolute numbering.
I do so with the offset part of the season and episode placeholders of the Pattern field since there is no dedicated offset fields that apply globally to episode numbers and the season field is superseded by the filename.
The issue is the pattern evaluation is lazy and the placeholder fields don’t seem to mean a digit match ([0-9]), so with filenames like:
Tokyo Revengers - Seiya Kessen-hen - S02E01 [1080p].mkv
even broad expressions like …
title: Tokyo Revengers
season: 1
tmdbid: 105009
tvdbid: 393478
imdbid: tt13196080
# Episode numbering
# Anchor to separator and resolution suffix
Pattern: * - {ep,+24} [*
# Anchor to separator and file extension
Pattern: * - {ep,+24}.*
# Last Resort! Anchor to separator and hope for the best
Pattern: * - {ep,+24}*
# SXXEYY numbering
# Anchor to separator and resolution suffix
Pattern: * - S{se,-1}E{ep,1-24,+24} [*
# Anchor to separator and file extension
Pattern: * - S{se,-1}E{ep,1-24,+24}.*
# Last Resort! Anchor to separator and hope for the best
Pattern: * - S{se,-1}E{ep,1-24,+24}*
… fail, because the parser sees the first non-placeholder element ( - S) on the Subtitle/Arc name and when it can’t match the season placeholder to apply the offset, it short-circuits, never making to the SXXEYY part
