So if you give it "[GroupName] Name of the Series - Electric Boogaloo - 03 (1080p).mkv", it understands that it's season one, episode one of a show called "Name of the Series - Electric Boogaloo"? Because Plex in its default state would rather you using the Name.of.the.Series.Electric.Boogaloo.S01E03 formatting, which would entail renaming basically everything. That's why having ASS as the scanner to avoid renaming is essential for me.



I'm not certain about that specific example. I think it should work if it's, say, a single season show. Otherwise if you put it under Show\Season 1\, I think it should work too. I have a range of different naming schemes and Jellyfin is able to recognize all of them. I've only had to put in manual effort for extras like interviews and trailers, which can be put in an "extras" folder in a show/movie directory next to the actual video file(s).
