Directorys problem

I have found out about plex a week ago and realy love it.
Today I copied my series to it.
but now I’m struggling with something.
there is these show in TV series it’s called home movies.It’s a child show and it’s not on my hard drive and I can’t delete it through the browser.Also,when I organise my directorys like this:
Media/TV series/American horror story/season 09
Than the serie gets the name ‘TV series’ only if I place the serie in media folder without the TV series folder its named properly.
Can someone help me with these 2 problems please?

TThanks in advance

Welcome to Plex.

Suggest you review the media Naming and Organization guidelines in the Plex documentation.

For TV series, make sure you are using a TV Shows library, not Movies, Music, etc. Also, the library must be pointed at the TV series directory, not at Media.

For your example, the naming & organization will look like this:

/Media
  /TV series  <-- TV Show library points here
    /American Horror Story
      /Season 09
        /American Horror Story - s09e01.ext  <-- .mkv, .mp4, etc.

Look at the Get Info for one of the episodes (not the show or season). It will show you the location of the file.

See Investigate Media Information and Formats for details.

Thank u for ur reply.
What u mean with library points?
I checked again and this is how it looks:
Media/TV series/American horror story/season 09.
But stil the name is ‘TV series’ instead of American horror story.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

The folder you added to the TV Show library.

Make sure it is /Media/TV series, not /Media or some other directory.

Edit the library to make any necessary corrections.

It is as I showed.
I realy don’t get it.
Edited manually.
But I think this isn’t ment to be.
I will see when adding another serie
Thanks for ur reply anyway

The only directory you have mentioned is /Media/TV series/American horror story/season 09, which is the incorrect directory to add to the library.

It should look like this:

And it must be a TV Shows library.
