Server Version#: 1.19.3.2764 Player Version#: N/A Ok, this is making me crazy. The server generally doesn’t seem to have any trouble telling the difference between TV episodes, especially when using the sXXeXX format that is described elsewhere on the Plex website. But in this particular case, i…

To avoid shaking a crystal ball, wasting time or simply start guessing, I strongly suggest you provide us with: Real Filenames of the involved items Screenshot of the files in file explore, starting from the root of the TV-Show and down to the actual file If above doesn’t help, we also needs a zi…

Hi, Dane, thanks for the reply. Sorry for not providing sufficient information in my first post. This is from a somewhat ecchi Anime series, and didn’t want to offend anyone who might be sensitive to such things, and I had hoped that simply describing the sXXeXX scenario would suffice. My bad, I …

It’s fine by PM’ing me the logs :wink: What scanner/agent are you using? And might be that above get’s confused about the filename, when more numbers are present? Try renaming s00e15 into Girls Special -S00E15- [S2 Episode 4.5] Kojiro in Maid Training.mkv Stuff in brackets are supposed to be ign…

You might have to perform the Plex Dance not only with the file s00e15 , but also with the s00e01. i.e. the one it’s been confused with.

Ah ok, so I was mostly right. :slight_smile: I don’t have to do the “copy and then delete from within the Plex server” thing, I can just scan after moving it out of the path that Plex is looking at and then do all the other stuff after scanning so it knows the season/episode(s) is gone. Cool, than…

Ok, here were the initial results. I tried naming the file like @dane22 suggested, and the result was that while s00e15 did get separated from s00e01, it ended up becoming the new Episode 501 in the listing, with the other one being moved to 502: [Plex] So, moving along. The question was asked …

The “sXXeXX” is actually only part of what is needed for good matching. See the following: TV Shows <- The TV library points here _______ShowName (year) ____________Season 01 __________________ShowName (year) - s01e01 - Optional Name.ext __________________ShowName (year) - s01e02 - Optional Na…
