Ok, I realize that this path really is too long, but I’m not sure what to do for a situation like this:

Probably the quickest.easiest is to disable the episode title in naming, let it import and turn in back on. Long term, not really sure how we would want to handle that.

I just looked at the file itself and found out that it’s badly named. It’s 22 minutes long, so perhaps it’s episode 08 and 31, but it doesn’t look like that from the title.

Ahh, its possible, but drone will treat it as 8-31 due to how its designed. Cartoons can be a bit troublesome with the way they’re done.
