Plex Documentation → Your Media → Naming & Organizing TV Show Files
Follow Plex recommended naming and organization for TV shows.
/TV Shows/ShowName (year) {tvdb-12345}/Season xx/ShowName (year) sXXeYY.ext
- Adding the TVDB or TMDB ID to the folder name is optional, but tells Plex the exact match.
- sXXeYY is mandatory. Do not try to use alternate naming structures such as 0x01, etc.
- If all episodes are in a single file, you can either a) split it into individual episodes, or b) use the
Multi Episodes in a Single Filenaming. See support doc linked above for details. - After renaming / restructuring a show, Plex Dance the entire series. This removes incorrect matching information from the Plex database.
