Remove these with e.g. [mp3tag](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html "mp3tag")

And the library is directly pointed at whatever hides behind `...\`? And not one folder level above it?

Perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-incorrectly-identifying-tv-episodes/100265/4 "Plex Dance") with the whole series.  
Use the series ID of TheTVDB `352582` for matching it manually, using the Match/Fix Match command.
