SOLUTION! - I was having the exact same issue.
I'd added TVDB to my plugins and removed the ID for IMDB and TMDB, hoping that (looking at reddit forums) that the metadata scraped from TVDB was the correct info. I removed the files, added them back in again; refreshed the metadata and selected replace etc.. all episodes are named correctly, appear as the correct thumbnail, but when I clicked on one of them to play; it was always playing an epsiode behind (ie - when I click 'datalore' which was epsiode 12 of the first season; what actually plays is 'the big goodbye' - which is epsisode 11.)
I assumed that this was all down to the first 2 epsiodes being combined. and i was right.
SO the solution lay in renumbering of the file names
for the first epsiode; appears as (in the main directory / folder)
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 Episode 01 & 02 - Encounter at Farpoint
and epsiode 3 appeared as
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 Episode 03 - The Naked Now
this was throwing off the count for the entire season.
Starting at epsiode 3, rename the episode number as follows:
Star Trek The Next Generation Season 1 Episode 02 - The Naked Now
And so on for the whole folder. the series is then back in sync.
Hopefully no more 2 part episodes in the series.. at least now I know how to fix it..
