Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645  
Player Version#: 4.22.3

Greetings, I have my files mapped under /Plex Media Server/FreeNAS.

My TV Shows library is /Plex Media Server/FreeNAS/TV Shows.

All of my TV Shows have been added, the remaining one is:  
/Plex Media Server/FreeNAS/TV Shows/When We Left Earth The NASA Missions/Season 1/  
with the following files beneath it:  
Episode 1.mkv  
Episode 2.mkv  
Episode 3.mkv  
Episode 4.mkv  
Episode 5.mkv  
Episode 6.mkv

I’ve tried naming it several different things, but I’m not seeming to have any luck.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,  
Zzyzx

Try naming the episodes like:  
`When We Left Earth The NASA Missions.S01E01.mkv`
