Hi there, there’s an issue I posted about a year ago with no results, and if you’re still looking for data (I’m aware of how old this thread is) then here it is :).
The episode numbers of multi-part episodes in the “DVD Order” entries of some shows in TheTVDB have numbers after their decimal points. One example is here in the 3rd season of Seinfeld, episodes 15.1 and 15.2:
https://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?lid=7&seasonid=16114&seriesid=79169&tab=season&order=dvd
There seems to be no way of forcing Plex to scrape that data at all. Efforts are documented here:
If Plex could be updated to be able to read such numbers, it would be super appreciated :). The three shows I’ve come across where DVD order is the preferred order AND they have decimals like this are Seinfeld, Animaniacs, and PAW Patrol. For the sake of completeness I’ll also mention that I asked TheTVDB if they could re-number the episodes without decimals and this was their response:
“This is a problem you will have to take up with PLEX using decimals to combine episodes in the DVD order has long been a published part of our API”
