Naming of multi-part episodes

Quick question - I'm importing TV Shows from my Plex library. I have a few shows that have a handful of multi-part episodes.

For example, MASH, Season 4, Episode 1 was a single 1 hour episode as originally aired. However, once it got into syndication it got broke into 2 half-hour episodes.

It seems that Plex (and Sonarr) expect it to be a single episode as originally aired. However, Channels is expecting 2 episodes.

This creates an issue with naming the files as if I create a single file (S04E01) as originally aired, then the episodes don't sync up properly. S04E02 on Plex would be the 2nd actual originally aired episode. However, on Channels it would be the 2nd part of the 1st originally aired episode.

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this and has suggestions? I'd like to keep them both for Plex and Channels. Must be a difference in Gracenote vs. whatever Plex is using?

I actually think I figured out a solution (at least for MASH)...I switch to TMDB for matching the episodes and that picked up the episode count as originally aired (which matches Plex).

Yes, I was just typing a reply to you to suggest using TMDB to fix the incorrect match. I just noticed that you already figured it out. :+1:
