Just curious there are 24 eps in the folder as stated by the number at the bottom of the picture, but why in the top right does it say 22? I counted the thumbnails and there are 24 of them with metadata for each of the 24 eps
Thanks !
22 is the number of unwatched episodes in that series.
The orange corner means that content hasnât been watched.
That makes sense but it was on a fresh import so I am still puzzled
My other series just list tje total number in that corner even if watched
Thank you
ALL OK so far, quick question, can I force full screen on a SD (4:3) video?
Thanks !
i donât think that is possible via plex itself, but you tv might have a âzoomâ mode or other resolution/aspect mode that might suite you.
Tv [vizio] does not allow mode changing with plexâŠno biggie but was just curiousâŠthanks !!
You asked a couple of times about donating to Plex. The best wsy is to subscribe.
Got it! Thanks !
Hey guys,
My library is growing and growing.
One issue is what naming convention to use when adding a series and the one of the episodes is the pilot and doesnât subscribe to s01x01 or a two parter rolled into 1 episode.
Are two parters shown originally on same night treated as 1 ep or 2?
Thanks !

- Look up your show on TheTVDB
- Take the title as it is used on TheTVDB. If there is something in parentheses, take that too. If the title contains invalid characters (depends on your file system), like
§ : % *, simply leave them out. - Check the naming and the folder structure of your show. Name the top folder of the show exactly after the title on TheTVDB. No abbreviations. No additional subfolders. No aliases. Add the (year) in parentheses of when episode 1 of season 1 of this show was aired.
- Name the episode files according to the above linked naming guide. Use the same title as for the top folder.
Show's Title (year) - s01e01 - additional info.ext(â- additional infoâ can be left out) - After you corrected the naming and folder structure, perform the Plex Dance with all files for this show.
Thank you Otto !
I am beginning to learn Plex on my own and am proud of that.
However this evening I attempted to add my seventh TV series to plex, naming convention and format all correct; same folder as all the other TV shows.
However, when I go to scan library, and waitâŠnothing happens. I rebooted PC, tried again nothing happenned.
IMPORTANT,ALL other media folders can importâŠJUST NOT TV shows which also is on a slave drive not system drive
Also, I added a new folder and pointed it to same TV shows folder, it imported my original series, but not anything new
Hard Drive holding the TV shows folder has alot of free space so I am really perPLEXed as what to do next.
Thank you guys, you rock !
Please show us your file names and folder structure. And which folder you added to the library.
Here you go Otto, THANKS !
I Dream of jeannie and Rockford files will not import
Home video folder no problem
Naming convention for all TV series the same format
Please read my above HowTo about tv shows again, and this time follow the links.
Ok Otto I will but if I use the same naming convention for all the series why is it now selective? I bought filebot as was reco.mended in the link
Thanks!!
Using a consistently wrong naming pattern is still wrong, even if it works in the beginning.
Many users make this experience. All is well in the beginning, but as your library grows, Plex is no longer lenient about deviant namings â particularly with tv shows.
Understood Otto, I shall learn from this
Is Filebot safe and ok to use to rename everything?
Thanks !
Best money I ever spent.
Make sure to customize the renaming pattern, because Filebot uses by default the Kodi style. see Plex naming schemes for FileBot
