I encountered a problem that has troubled me for a long time, and I don’t know how to solve it. I hope you can help me.

I want to update a large number of my TV shows, but the information is not available online, so I can’t get titles and descriptions from the internet.

I want to update the titles of each episode on Plex in the form of filenames. I’ve tried various naming methods for a long time:

/TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName – s02e17 – Split_Name.ext

In the TV program, the titles are never displayed. I don’t want to click on the little pencil icon to edit the titles one by one. I hope to set the TV show titles when naming the files. What do I need to do to succeed?

thank you very much！

The titles for the show are not taken from the filename of the media. They are scrapped from the online sources for the show (imdb, tmdb and/or tvdb).

You maybe able to embed the title for the episodes inside the media but to be honest I don’t use embedded metadata myself and it can be a cause of problems if not done correctly.
