Server Version#: 1.41.0.8994 Player Version#: 1.102.0.230-7301ebfb Hi I think I´ve stumbled across an error in the scanner - or maybe in the underlying data in Plex Series Scanner databanks. My title: “Days That Shook the World” should be matched to this: [Days That Shook the World - TheTVDB.com](https://thetvdb.com/series/days-that-shook-the-world) // ["Days That Shook the World" Wright Brothers First Flight/Apollo Moon Landing (TV Episode 2003) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1586817/?ref_=ttep_ep1) For Season 1 Episode 1 it should thus return “S1.E1 ∙ Wright Brothers First Flight/Apollo Moon Landing” It omits S1E01 though and thus E2 becomes E1, E3 becomes E2 and so forth. The files are all there and they meet the naming convention. Anyone? ---

Edit the show at its highest level go to the Advanced tab set Episode Ordering to “TheTVDB (Aired)” Refresh Metadata of the whole show. ---

Did you dig into your TVDB link? It shows that [ The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II/The Death of Diana](https://thetvdb.com/series/days-that-shook-the-world/episodes/4076127) is S01E01, and [Pilot: The Wright Brothers/Apollo 11’s Moon Landing](https://thetvdb.com/series/days-that-shook-the-world/episodes/5709890) is a special - S00E01. ---

Both TMDB and TVDB list that episode as a special, not part of season one. You’ll need to rename your files to match listings at those sites. ---

Episode numbers at IMDb. com have no significance in Plex, btw. Only [TheMovieDB.org](http://TheMovieDB.org) and [TheTVDB.com](http://TheTVDB.com) are used for tv shows. ---

OK, so first let me apologize for not realizing this in the first place! I have now made the changes suggested above (reordering, changed file to S00E01), but still I am getting the same result. I even unmatched the thing and performed a new match. It is still showing 13 Episodes on S01 with Episode 13 being the file that is named \*S00E01 and thus not being matched to anything. It just says “Episode 13”. It seems I am still doing sth wrong here (?). ---

After wrong matches and subsequent renamings, you may need to perform the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064). ---
