Hi, Not sure why I can’t get this to work as I’ve been using plex for a while so I’m not a beginner by any means, I have a very old TV series collection called “V” TV.db link here [https://www.thetvdb.com/series/v/seasons/all](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/v/seasons/all) I’m not sure how I should name the folder as its only a single letter for the title of the TV series but I have also tried naming it other ways and still can not get it to show The 3 series are named on the dvds as V the original mini series V the final battle V the complete series if anyone can please help me out as to how i should name these because i’m not having any joy at the moment, i just can’t understand why even in folder view it won’t show. Thanks Tony ---

Plex originally matched to the 2009 version. I did a “Fix Match,” picked the original, and it pulled in the correct information. ![Screenshot%20(135)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/b/9/b937916e85690c48fad4bb6a674e011be9bfa02c.png) ![Screenshot%20(136)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/8/8/88ef960e05008adb9768923528f8549da70b0f2e.png) ![Screenshot%20(137)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/8/18a7843f97363b23b0a7d3a94eec2fb27d65a397.png) ![Screenshot%20(139)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/3/1/31eb86bb588c537ad9b6aa0913dffb013a680650.png) ![Screenshot%20(140)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/0/2/02b624334b6bb7603fa11753fd80637f566cdc54.png) ![Screenshot%20(141)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/a/0/a033af205a756d7252d0e6e46167b8d72b1e5cac.png) ---

For series that have more that one series of the same name it is highly recommended that you include the year originally released in the folder name: V (1984) V (2009) The naming of the folder is the most important part of naming TV series for Plex. ---

Thank you very much for that I will try again and let you know how I get on, never heard of naming it as season 00 before but I know from now on. Tony ---

I always include the year even on films, just a habit I’ve got into. Tony ---

You can name the folder `Season 00` or `Specials`. See [https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220707-naming-tv-show-specials/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220707-naming-tv-show-specials/). Plex did match against TVDB and pull the correct artwork. I don’t really have V in my library. I just took another TV show and renamed the files. If Plex had pulled the pictures from the video files, you would be looking at b&w images from Gilligan’s Island. ---
