Server Version#: Version 4.90.1 Player Version#: In the UK, two different TV shows this year, one called “Suspect” (released 19 June), one called “The Suspect” (released 19 August). Server doesn’t differentiate between the two, so effectively I can’t see The Suspect to play it. Any ideas? TIA

Thanks for replying. However… gulp — how do I do that please? (You’re talking to a relative newbie in me…) TIA

See FordGuy61’s post (#2) its a matter of file naming, and then Plex Dance them

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck for me I’m afraid. I’ve ended up deleting the earlier “Suspect” just so I can see the newer “The Suspect”.

Its fairly easy /The Suspect (2022) {tvdb-410905}/Season 01/The Suspect (2022) s01e01.mkv as one file/folder group and /Suspect (2022) {tvdb-420308}/Season 01/Suspect (2022) s01e01.mkv as the other.

I think in OP’s case, a simple “split apart” would have done the trick.
