Adding a single TV documentary, not sure if it is part of a series

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Server Version#: 4.63.0

I’m having trouble adding a single TV documentary to my plex media server. The scan doesn’t pick it up.

The programme is listed in TMDB and in TVDB.

My file is named BBC.The.Police.in.Montserrat.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.Forum.avi.How do I rename it for Plex?

Then you can find out if it’s listed on there as a “movie” or a “tv show”.
According to this, you can name it and place it into the right library type.

Looks like a “movie” on both sites. So the naming rules for movies apply: https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/naming-your-movie-media-files/
Go with TheMovieDB and use its ID number:

/Docus <-- folder where the Plex library is pointed at
   /Police in Montserrat (1983) - {tmdb-202525}
      BBC.The.Police.in.Montserrat.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.Forum.avi
