Wrong merging

General Discussions

My plex is merging 2 different shows together :frowning:

Monster - The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
Monsters - The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

those are the name of the folders, containing the episodes. How can I split them ? I don’t see the split option anywhere :frowning:

Long story short, you can’t.

Only the tvdb episode ordering of the combined show is supported by plex. Just search the forum for the many topics on this but trust me, it does not work as standalone shows like Netflix aired them.

how can I organize them so they don’t get merged ? maybe rename them s03e01 ?

Here is how I have it named …
