I would like a way to use metadata as pulling the artwork but for tv shows that are not allowed in there system as part 1 or 2 like Batman 1966 I would like it save it same as my files name because that would be awesome so then I’m not having to relabel everything I already have labeledhttps://www.tumblr.com/timelesstimesgoneby/686248804434001920/episode-season-1-disc-1-s01e01-hi-diddle-riddle
Sorry, but you are making little sense.
https://youtu.be/Th6tQ-g3Im8?si=8bQb42SdF3amYOsz Like this but instead I have it organized like 1 2also to see it on public domain here’s that link Uncle Earl's Classic TV Channel
Still not clear what you are asking for.
Watch this video https://youtu.be/Th6tQ-g3Im8?si=mwbPUB55O_SKUvQ_ explain to me why it won’t allow me to use my part 1 and part 2 like this
S01E01 HI DIDDLE RIDDLE 1
S01E02 SMACK IN THE MIDDLE 2
instead of
S01E01 HI DIDDLE RIDDLE
S01E02 SMACK IN THE MIDDLE
Nothing about that video makes any sense to me, I still have no idea what you want.
if you want to change the episode titles then either edit them in the interface or since they are mp4s then embed the titles in the file. and make sure prefer local metadata is enabled in the library’s settings
S01E01 HI DIDDLE RIDDLE
S01E02 SMACK IN THE MIDDLE
these are 2 separate episodes
if you want to combine them into part 1 and part 2, then they need to be the same episode number with -part1 and -part2 appended…

Moderator Edit: Moved your post, to continue the conversation in this thread.
I watched the video and I’m still not sure what you are requesting.
It appears you are playing the episodes in order.
Plex already does that. It also auto-plays the next episode if configured to do so.
If you are looking to skip introductions, Plex does that, but a Plex Pass is required (Skip TV Show Intros).
If you are looking to somehow automatically jump from a scene in one episode to a scene in another episode, Plex does not do that. Plex does not know where scenes begin/end. AFAIK, there is nothing in the embedded metadata or available in online databases that provides such information. Plex supports chapter markers, but not jumping between episodes based on them.
I want it in this order just like i have it in file

you can’t do this except via embedding that in the mp4 file and enabling prefer local metadata,
So how would I do that or is there an easier way to fix it in both places
That looks like the DVD order on thetvdb.com: https://thetvdb.com/series/batman/seasons/dvd/1.
If so, using Plex Web:
- Edit the show (pencil icon)
- Advanced
- Episode Ordering = TVDB DVD
- Save Changes
- Refresh Metadata if Plex does not do so automatically.
Still not working correctly
Still not sure what you are trying to accomplish
This is how TV shows appear in Plex.
Is this what you want?
If not, please explain how you want it to appear.

Are you choosing TheTVDB DVD order for the show. (to be clear “Order” does not mean episode titles will change)
afaict that is what @FordGuy61 has in their second screenshot above.
Yes. I used TheTVDB DVD order, which matches how @publicarchives’s files are named.
How is what I posted incorrect? The episode names match what you have posted.
Please upload a screenshot of how Batman appears on your system. It would help clarify what is going wrong.
It could be it hasn’t updated yet
