Fix matching for The Boys?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Hey guys

Every time I add an episode of The Boys to my Plex server it matches as Les Boys (1993) instead of The Boys (2019).

The files are kept with their scene release names inside a folder named The Boys (2019). Is there a way to fix this permanently?

The filename is the primary source for matching a show. The folder is secondary.

The file name is ‘The Boys’ not ‘Les Boys’

It should be

TV Show (First year) folder \ Season number folder \ TV Show (First year) Season and Episode file,

The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E01 - The Name of the Game
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E02 - Cherry

You can leave out the name of the episode all together if you wish because PMS will add the metadata into it’s database anyway, so it can be like this

The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E01
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E02

When new seasons are aired just create a Season 2 folder and start putting the season 2 videos in there, like this:
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E01
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E02
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E03
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E04
The Boys (2019)\Season 1\The Boys (2019) S01E05

The Boys (2019)\Season 2\The Boys (2019) S02E01
The Boys (2019)\Season 2\The Boys (2019) S02E02
The Boys (2019)\Season 2\The Boys (2019) S02E03
The Boys (2019)\Season 2\The Boys (2019) S02E04
The Boys (2019)\Season 2\The Boys (2019) S02E05
