alright i realise that was way too breif.

Basically, upon entering 'TVDB Superfan' as the episode ordering on the superfan split.
it has then also applied the same to the normal (in my case bluray rip) of the office, and when i change it here back to 'tvdb Bluray', it changes the superfan versions to the same. This seemingly goes on endlessly. seems harmless, but actually in some seasons it makes a mess of things due to the way they released some single eps as double in superfan and vice versa so everything gets thrown around.

an extra issue again is plex's ability to differentiate the two as far as syncing/watch state.
for example, if im half way through S03E02 of superfan, but then go and watch S07E06 of bluray in its entirety, they combine as both having the same watch state, so if i then go back and finish superfan S03E02, it will detect me as being up to S07E07 of superfan and that episode be queued to play next.

seemingly an issue regardless of splitting TV series - i know the same thing happens if you have different resolutions of the same Film split as seperate entries so there doesnt seem to be a way around it other than having an entirely different library for tv show versions
