Server Version#: Player Version#: I have a Library set up at I:\aaaNew F Drive\My F Drive TV\V (1984). .This item loaded smoothly without incident as a separate show. I then tried to add I:\aaaNew F Drive\My F Drive TV\V (1983) - The Mini Series. It did not load at all. Instead it loaded into the …

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I never could have gotten this just the way I wanted it without your help and patience. I only hope that I have the luck (for me, anyway) to find you again when I next paint myself into a corner. Is there any way for me to go directly to you for help? I am having ano…

If You check the TVDB, where Plex gets its data, the mini-series are considered as “Specials” for the show. [image] V - Aired Order - Specials - TheTVDB.com The mini-series that @beckfield linked to is classified as a movie. As far as I know, Plex doesn’t use a…

Good catch. Seems like TVDB has a problem, if they’re classifying the same show in two ways.

Unlike the TVDB , theMovieDB has the miniseries listed as separate show which is what you seem to want. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/14141-v If you are tying to get them to be listed as separate shows, #1. fix the naming so it is S01E01 then they will probably still be combined as dupilcate epis…

The V - Mini Series (1983) folder is in the “My F Drive TV” folder [aa]

Hi, BigWheel. Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do want the 2 parts of the Mini Series as a separate folder, but when I label the 2 episodes as “s00e01” and “s00e02”, they appear as a “Specials” folder in the regular program folder. [special add 1] If I label them as “s01e01” and “s01e02” then they …

[image] weybrew: The Options Menu doesn’t give me the option of splitting them as you suggest. It is in the options menu on the page for the show as a whole, not for the individual seasons or episode

HOORAY! I have been trying everything I could think of and got so many wrong results that I was ready to accept the “Specials” folder solution, but you, sir, have solved my dilemma. And this is odd, because the last installment of the 2009 remake was a stand-alone folder that loaded without any inci…

Good morning, BigWheel. In one of my topic replies I was referred to something call “The Plex Dance ” posted by PlexInfo (Plex Employee) on 6/17/17 and citing “The purpose of this is to remove all cached metadata and xml data for an item that Plex usually keeps. This helps when you want to “start fro…

did you do it to only V(1983) like I said? [image] weybrew: And, another oddity is that The Final Battle has 3 episodes (not showing). My file naming is below: [v test 2] [v test 3] I’m not clear why you give them the 00 season number if you want them as season 1 of their own show. that wi…
