Whenever I try to add TV Shows, I have to do the following: TV Shows Folder ==\> Show ==\> Season I follow the naming structure as recommended by Plex: TV Shows /Grey’s Anatomy /Season 01 Grey’s Anatomy - s01e01.avi Grey’s Anatomy - s01e02 - The First Cut is the Deepest.avi Grey’s Anatomy - s01e03.mp4 My question: How do I add content to Plex so it found content better? If I add a TV Show and let’s say that show has Season 4, if I choose the path as: TV Show — Show What will add on Plex is Season 4, but not the TV Show. What I have to do is: TV Show — Show — Season This will detect the show. Does this make sense? What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I have to complete? ---

Your TV show library should have just the root directory in it. For example: `D:\media v shows\` I have that as the directory where all TV shows are kept. As I add a new season/new show, I just put it in the proper location and then initiate a library scan. The shows are picked up. How are you doing it? ---

Are you saying you add individual fodders under “Add folders to your library” within the edit mode of your library? I have the same folder structure as you but I simply point my TV Show library to the high level “TV Shows” and PLEX will search all subfolders within it (Show / Season / Episodes) and find all media content accordingly. ---

@bbubulka & @kegobeer-plex - I have it as follows: D:\media v shows\Fear the Walking Dead\Season 3 When I go to “Add folders to your library” I have to go through the whole path on top in order for the show to add. What I cannot do is go to “Add folders to your library” and add the path of: D:\media v shows\ Make sense? If I go to “Add folders to your library” and I add: D:\media v shows\Fear the Walking Dead On the Plex Web App as it’s scanning, I will get Season 3 ---

You do not have your library configured correctly. The directory should be `d:\media v shows\`. You should never add individual show directories to your library. You need to get your library squared away. Move everything out (ie: just remove the individual directories you have in your library),do a scan, then add only that directory to your library. ---

@kegobeer-plex and I are on the same page with the file structure. Just add the high level directory to your library and all will be well 🙂 ---

If you have any other libraries set up that way, make sure to fix them as well. ---
