Unmatching a single season

Player Version#: 4.63.0

I have several series of similar names (The Walking Dead, TWD World Beyond and Fear TWD). Plex continuously allocates new episodes of the sub-shows to phantom seasons of the main show (The Walking Dead) - using a date convention in the media folders and filenames hasn’t resolved it.

Obviously unmatching/fixing matches doesn’t work since both seasons are within the same how and can’t be decoupled. Clearing the cache and trying again doesn’t work either.

Does Plex actually have a workaround for extracting a single “season” of a show and putting it in the right show group that doesn’t involve going into the guts of the system and manually tweaking it?

Split apart the show from its context menu. As long as they are actually in three separate folders there will be the option which will result in three versions of the Walking Dead then you can fix match on the two that need it

I am assuming you actually do have them in three separate folders and not in one main Walking Dead folder.

Thank you - yes they are in distinct folders (and even with release year to try and help Plex). I don’t see a split option in the context menu though?

I can not see from your picture where you are trying to split from.

But you need to be at the top level of show for the option to appear.

You can not do it from the Library view or a season view.

Yep, that’s where I am. No option:

That’s a bit odd, as that is where you would expect to find it…

You could try looking at your TV Library in folder view just to check that the other shows are definitely matched to the main Walking Dead show.

And what path is your TV Library pointing to?

TV is mapped to the mount:

I’ve switched scanners but it didn’t help. Previously when I had this problem I removed the entire directory then brought it back in and it seemed to fix it (didn’t this time), and I’d rather not do that every time a new episode turns up!
