Hello,

I cannot figure out why Plex doesn’t recognize one single episode. I believe I have followed the naming guides, and all other episodes import correctly. I have done the “[Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064)” several times with no luck. Here is my directory/file structure. Episode 6 consistently fails to import. What else can I try to resolve this?

I can’t believe I overlooked that. It was set to 600, while all the rest were 644. Setting it to 644 fixed the issue and Plex immediately recognized it. Thank you!
