Custom names for seasons?

General Discussions
1

When adding personal “TV-shows” to Plex, how can I change the names of the seasons for the shows? I don’t want e.g. “Season 1”, I want it to be “About this course” – and no, setting the tag isn’t good enough, because you only see that in the Plex web-app and even there only when you view the season; you don’t see it at all in the Android-app, you don’t see it when viewing the top-level of the show.

The thing is, I want to add several video-courses to my library, but the way Plex works makes it really hard to do it in any sort of a sane way.

You can’t. Changing Season names is not supported.

Well, that makes Plex pretty much unuseable for this purpose then…

This is actually possible with a little javascript help. (Note: this is inspired by https://mattwinckler.com/2015/11/plex-rename-a-tv-show-season/, which doesn’t quite work because jquery isn’t loaded.)

Copy the javascript code from this page and save it to a bookmarklet: https://gist.github.com/navels/13b904be70cb505b57789da9a18c99fb

(in Chrome, go to the Bookmark Manager, Organize, Add Page, name it whatever you want, and paste the above code into the location box).

Then in Plex when you have opened the season’s edit dialog, click the bookmarklet and it will add a Title input field, viola!
