I’m wondering if anyone can help me. I just realized the issue seems to be fine when I access my player via the web. But when using the applications like “Plex for Windows” or the app on my TV or Phone (android) I see that multiple shows are labeled as “The Tonight Show” including other late shows like “Late Night with Seth Meyers” “Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, and “Saturday Night Live” and even completely unrelated shows like "How it’s Made” and “Still Standing”

Sorry I don’t know the Guide source, or if I’m using XMLTV

Which folder is added to the TV show library?

The show folder must be directly below the folder added to the library.

Given your file structure, if /shows is added to the library, it will cause problems for all shows in the /DVR library.

Examples:

Incorrect:

/shows <-- folder added to tv show library
  /Gilligan's Island (1964)
  /DVR
    /Saturday Night Live (1975)

Correct:

/shows <-- folder added to tv show library
  /Gilligan's Island (1964)
/DVR <-- folder added to tv show library
  /Saturday Night Live (1975)

Correct:

/shows <-- folder added to tv show library
  /Saturday Night Live (1975)
  /Gilligan's Island (1964)

Correct:

/shows <-- folder not added to any Plex library
  /DVR <-- folder added to tv show libarary
    /Saturday Night Live (1975)
  /other shows <-- folder added to tv show library
    /Gilligan's Island (1964)

Thanks! Seemed to have helped. I put all my already existing saved TV Series into the “VIDEOS” folder, and now use the “SHOWS” folder strictly for DVR use.
