Please describe your bug

My file naming scheme is: [Series] - [Episode #] - s##e## - [Title].ext
I use this naming scheme so that episodes are sorted properly if browsed by filename - so that specials are in the correct order.
For example:

Battlestar Galactica - 001 - s00e01 - Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (1).mkv
Battlestar Galactica - 002 - s00e02 - Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (2).mkv
Battlestar Galactica - 003 - s01e01 - 33.mkv
Battlestar Galactica - 004 - s01e02 - Water.mkv

This worked perfectly in 10.7.7
After updating to 10.8.0, all of my shows are now listed as having a single episode, with the episodes appearing as "versions" on the drop-down selection (or not listed at all in clients like Infuse).

I realize this is not the "standard" naming scheme for shows, but I have found it to be very useful over the years - and Jellyfin's support of this naming scheme is one of the reasons I switched to it.

This is how different versions of movies are named and I think this feature has been asked for for series too.

I believe you're best of if you replace '-' with a different character.
