[tt0130414](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130414/) is a TV mini-series.

1. It belongs in a TV Show, not movie, library.
2. Plex uses [thetvdb.com](http://thetvdb.com) and [themoviedb.org](http://themoviedb.org) to match TV shows.

Name the file(s) appropriately and place them in a TV show library.

```auto
/TV Shows <- Folder added to TV Show library
.../Merlin (1998) {tvdb-83269} <-- Show_Name (year). TVDB ID optional, but helps.
....../Season 01 <-- "Season" in English. Two digits for number.
........./Merlin (1998) - s01e01.ext <--sXXeYY mandatory; ext = mkv/mp4/etc.
........./Merlin (1998) - s01e02.ext
........./Merlin (1998) - s01e03.ext

```

If you have all three episodes in one file, you can use [Multiple Episodes in a Single File](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/#toc-4) naming.

You may need to [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the file(s).
