Server Version#: 1.40.3.8555 Player Version#: 4.129.1 Not sure if this is a bug or not, however, it appears to have occurred on both of my Plex servers. I added a show that has 2 episodes per file. Normally these dual episode files would be recognized based on the required naming format that Plex …

I can recreate the issue. It seems to depend on which syntax of the two possible is used, so either the first or the second episode number is recognized. And only that single one. /TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName – s02e17-e18 – Optional_Info.ext /TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName –…

This makes me …

Same problem for me, since updating plex server to 1.40.3.8555. Windows 11 All existing shows are fine, new shows added with multi episode files are not scanned correctly. It’s always the first of the episodes missing in a multi episode file, when naming the file like this S01E01-E04. Episode 1 wi…

Same problem for me. like @truthgalaxy , all existing shows are fine, and this problem occurs only for new shows or renaming existing shows. i’m using latest version of PMS (1.40.3.8555) with official docker repo, on Ubuntu 22.04

Same issue here, running latest PMS on Ubuntu 24.04
