Help!? Star Trek TNG Season 3 appears as TOS Season 3

Plex Media Server
48

So I am seeing a couple issues:

  • You should never point plex to the same location that has files (always point it at the directory that contains the show folders)
    *** IE HDD1/Star Trek and not HDD1/Star Trek/Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

  • and you should never have extra directories in the Plex path: IE use HDD1/Star Trek/ instead of HDD1/

  • File naming: My standard response: If you want to save yourself a lot of time I would recommend using Download - tinyMediaManager and use ${showTitle} - S${seasonNr2}E${episodeNr2} - ${title} as the file name and ${showTitle} (${showYear}) {tvdb-${tvShow.ids.tvdb}}/Season ${seasonNr2} as the new directory format.

  • Often you need to Plex Dance the media to clear any lingering naming issues.
