TV Series name matching research

@cjezell said:
I have been having an issue for the last three weeks where whenever I import a television season, Plex will skip episode 10 completely. It’s not that it misidentifies the episode, it simply doesn’t appear at all. Last night, it also started doing the same with episode 11’s as well. I have tried the recommended naming convention as well as a couple of different variations, and nothing works. And yes, I have done the “Plex Dance” SEVERAL times.

Here is how the files are named:

“\ds1512\video\Television\Star Wars The Clone Wars\Season 1\Star Wars The Clone Wars - S01E10 - Lair of Grievouos.mp4”

(snip)

Would you please show the files and structure as you have them (the block)?

Also, is there any metadata tagging inside those MP4 files? Incorrect “Name” field values will result in non-match. This is one reason MKV files are easier than MP4. The counterpoint to using MKV for all is not all players can play an MP4 natively. PMS doesn’t care because it reads both formats natively and streams the H.264 & audio streams (which both have in common).
