How can I correct Plex not finding a TV Show On Disk

General Discussions
1

I have “The Sub-Mariner” on my hard drive and all files are named as they should be however Plex does not see the series.

Searched on The TVDB and the show is there named exactly as I have it named.

This was pulled down with Sonarr and the episodes all play fine, just can’t see them in Plex.

Any suggestions?

I just searched thetvdb.com for “The Sub-Mariner” and I get no hits. Could there be something different in my search vs yours?

@Bandor: how exactly have you named the show? structure should be like this…
Your TV Show Folder > The Sub-Mariner (1966) > Season 01 > The Sub-Mariner (1966) - s01e01.ext
or Your TV Show Folder > The Sub-Mariner (1966) > Season 01 > The Sub-Mariner (1966) - s01e01 - Peril in the Surface World.ext

Edit: fixed an auto-correction typo

This may fix it… I have it listed as I posted initially… “The Sub-Mariner” without the (1966) on it… That was the way Sonarr created the folder and it always works… Let me try that…

It partially found it however it named it “The Marvel Superheroes [Namor The Sub Mariner]” which of course doesn’t match The TVDB… Hmmm
