The file in question was: [Anime Time] Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death (True)².mkv
Apparently, the code that was trying to identify the episode number thought that the ^2 superscript was a digit. I'd recommend an extra regex filter [0-9] if your environment not support the \d subclass.
Am really bad at unicode and other strings, so do not have the level to fix.
This throws and causes the entire scan to halt without any feedback on what file caused the problem. I had to go through everything that I had added to find it.
I understand the implications perfectly, however am still ill equipped to deal with such string coding issues. Does it crash plex scanner as well?
Yes. The scanning terminates in full when encountering this file name and no further library updates happen. I'm good with regex and can help. Hit me up in discord.
