Hey all,

Simple question I hope, but for some reason any time I have a TV show with a number in the filename, none of the following episodes show up in kodi.

As an example, I have Suits, Season 5, Episode 16.

The file name is "Suits_S05e16_25th Hour.mkv". None of the files afterwards, including the next season, load. By simply changing the filename to "Suits_S05e16_Twenty Fifth Hour.mkv", everything afterwards loads fine.

This naming convention is coming from Sickbeard directly.

I have changed sickbeard to NOT include the episode name, but I really do like having the episode name in the file name. Is there anyway around this issue?
I ran a video named "Suits_S05e16_25th Hour.mkv" through TheRenamer (wiki) and it came out Suits.S05E16_25.25th Hour, and scraped in fine. So it looks like the first underscore is not appreciated; your work-round does it too.
You can change sickbeards renaming.
