Files wrongly named

I’m finding that plex is wrongly naming or grouping some of the videos I have stored on my pc. This is happening despite that the original order the files are stored in my hard disk are accurate & well ordered. An example of my problem - I have a load of files relevant to doctor who, consisting of interviews, DVD content, YouTube downloads etc. on my HD, the files are stored in named folders such as Episodes, Interviews, Trailers etc. Plex is automatically taking these items & wrongly displaying them as Season & Episodes. The “Match” facility does not rectify the problem & depending upon what item / file I’m trying to correctly title within Plex, the Match option is not even available within the “…” menu. Any guidance please.

are you putting none tv show episode files in a tv library? Plex does not have a facility for tv show extras at this time. Extra content can only be added as a special ( aka season 00, S00EXX)

Naming/organizing files in the “Plex Way” will help make your Plex use much more enjoyable:

The ‘other’ files that you have will have to be creatively added to Plex. Search the forums for TV Extras.
