Have copied and pasted the exact same files with the exact same names across two devices but only one of them is showing up with the correct meta data

Does anyone know why this might be happening?
I’m having a problem where I’ve got two of the same miniseries that being it from 1990 and on one of my devices. It’s got the current well the correct meta data and on the other one no matter how hard I try I’ve copied and pasted the naming exactly from that said device to the other device and it’s still not fetching the meta data. Does anybody know why this would be happening?

What devices and model, what OS, and what version number of Infuse?

Also what is the name of the miniseries and could you provide a sample of how you have one of the episodes names?

Latest version of Infuse And I’m also on the latest version of iOS
And this is how I have named them on both devices on one it has worked on the other one. It has not.
01 Stephen King’s, IT! (1990) - Part 1.mp4

As for what device I’m using iPad Pro 2024 model
And it’s iPadOS. I knew that my brain default to iOS.

You’ll want to name the files

IT 1990 S01E01 Part 1.mp4

and

IT 1990 S01E02 Part 2.mp4

It needs the S0xE0x to determine it’s a TV series.

An additional note. It helps to give the actual version number instead of saying the latest for both Infuse and the OS of devices since there are very frequent updates to both and that could be an indicator of problems recently fixed.

Just thought I would tell you that your solution worked it is now recognising it as a mini series and yeah, I probably should’ve mentioned the version numbers. I’ll make sure to do that next time thanks for the help.
