I have two LEGO Star Wars shows, [LEGO Star Wars](http://www.thetvdb.com/series/lego-star-wars), and [LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures](http://www.thetvdb.com/series/lego-star-wars-the-freemaker-adventures). They are named exactly as you see them on TVDB (except for the colon).

 ![File%20Names%201](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/f/4/f4df0f3784d86a9da8479697337be958425cffb4.jpeg)

Every time I add a new TV Show and Scan Library Files to update my library, Plex will combine the two shows. I can Fix Match and sometimes it will find it and sometimes it won’t. Many times, it will only find the Lego Star Wars and not the Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures.

What can I do for the one out of five times that it finds the correct info to save it where it won’t change when I add a new TV show and update?

Try adding the release year to the folder names

```auto
LEGO Star Wars The Freemaker Adventures (2016)
LEGO Star Wars (2005)

```

Afterwards, perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-incorrectly-identifying-tv-episodes/100265/4 "Plex Dance") with each show independently.

Thanks for the reply. That worked.

I had to use “The Movie Database” for the “Fix Match” to work on the Freemakers, auto match didn’t find it. But, at least it didn’t lump them into the same series.

Thanks again, OttoKerner!
