I have a Synology NAS with Plex Media Server. I have been burning via MKV - Movies, TV Shows and Slideshows for a number of years. Yesterday, I burned an old TV show DVD and it shows up on my Synology server just like it is supposed to. When I scan library in Plex, it is not appearing. I double checked my path and it is in the same format as the rest of my library. Any help would be appreciated.

You mean you ripped it, right?

That unfortunately doesn’t mean anything if it’s not according to the file and folder naming guide for tv shows: https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/

Please show what you currently have for folder structure and file names.

This is straight from the DVD and the series was called North And South. I have a couple of other full set series that I ripped quite some time ago and never had any issues with Plex seeing and adding them. Friday Night Lights and Merlin each with 5 seasons.

Your naming is not supported.
Please follow the link. https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/
If you want Plex to recognise your files as a tv show, use the suported naming schema.

Thanks Otto, everything appears to be working just fine now.
