Problem adding mini-series that is combined on the DVD release

General Discussions

I have the DVD release of Pride and Prejudice (1995) that I have ripped for inclusion on my Plex server. The original broadcast was a 6 episode mini-series, but the DVD release has the whole thing as a single movie on two DVDs, rather than as individual episodes. I have the ripped files titled:

Pride and Prejudice (1995) - dvd1.mkv
Pride and Prejudice (1995) - dvd2.mkv

However, both IMDB (Pride and Prejudice (TV Mini-Series 1995) - IMDb) and TMDB (Pride and Prejudice (TV Series 1995-1995) — The Movie Database (TMDb)) have it listed as an episodic mini-series and I haven’t had any luck getting Plex to recognize it. When I put it in my movie library Plex fails to find a match, and trying to fix the match the only option it comes up with is the related documentary Pride and Prejudice: From Page to Screen (1995). When I put it in my TV library, Plex fails to even detect it as a potential TV title.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to get Plex to recognize this properly in either library, I would greatly appreciate it.

Name Pride and Prejudice (1995) - dvd1.mkv as
Pride and Prejudice - S01E01-E03.mkv
and Pride and Prejudice (1995) - dvd2.mkv as
Pride and Prejudice - S01E04-E06.mkv
and use a TV library with the structure of:

Pride and Prejudice
---------Season 01
----------------Pride and Prejudice - S01E01-E03.mkv
----------------Pride and Prejudice - S01E04-E06.mkv

That should work
