case in point, Miami Vice (1984)

Pilot is a double episode, which i've renamed to .....E01-E02

then the next ep is naturally named ...E03 and so on

Where it gets wrong is with matching of the metadata to actual files.

In the ep list jellyfin correctly shows this episode as 1-2 (the metadata shows it as ep1, however), but all the next episodes have media/description offset by one, and the last episode in the series doesn't have any media/description attached to it. However, when I edit metadata of the files, for example S01E03 is correctly identified as episode 3. The same goes for the last episode. So in theory everything matches, but the episode order in the list in the season is off by one.

So shoud I be splitting the double episodes then?
