Per Plex docs, _“The most important bit in the file name is the appropriate season and episode number notation s02e17, which in this example means Season 2 Episode 17 It does not matter if you use dashes, dots, or just spaces.”_

You need to follow Plex naming and organization requirements. Otherwise, Plex may not correctly recognize your media files.

After renaming/reorganizing the entire show, [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the show. That removes any incorrect information from the Plex database.

Example

```auto
/volume1/Media/TV Shows <-- folder added to tv show library
  /Cheers (1982) <-- show name (intro year)
    /Season 01 <-- "Season" in English, two digits for number
      /Cheers (1982) s01e01 Give Me a Ring Sometime.mkv <-- sXXeYY notation
    /Season 02
      /Cheers (1982) s02e01 Power Play.mkv <-- episode name optional

```

Here’s a shortlist of tools that can help with renaming. The free version of Tiny Media Manager works for most people.

- [Filebot](https://www.filebot.net/)
- [Tiny Media Manager](https://www.tinymediamanager.org/)
- [Microsoft PowerTools PowerRenamer](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)

Many people use Filebot. It is quite powerful and can rename an entire library in minutes.

Tiny Media Manager is also very useful, and free.

Example TMM Renamer Patterns:

- Show Name: `${showTitle} (${showYear})`
- Season: `Season ${seasonNr2}`
- Episode Name: `${showTitle} (${showYear}) s${seasonNr2}e${episodeNr2} ${episode.title}`
- Movie Name: `${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}}`

PowerRenamer in Microsoft Power Tools is helpful for simple renaming with pattern matches or regular expressions. It makes quick work of tasks such as adding a year to file names, removing undesirable text from multiple files, etc
