How do you add a tv shows to put season on plex?

I tried adding a tv show and I put TV shows> Family Guy> Season 01> Death has a Shadow.S01E01 and it works but when I add other episodes it doesn’t stay in the same group so I can’t just go to next episode on plex. The next episode is I Never Met the Dead Man.S01E02. I did the same thing and put it in the same folder but it comes up as a 2nd different show. I don’t get what I am doing wrong, please help.

Your file/naming structure is close; but wrong. It should be: TV shows> Family Guy> Season 01> Family Guy - s01e01 - Death Has a Shadow

OH wow thanks!!! It worked. Why is the wording so weird thought lol. Do I just do the same thing for season 2 so instead of putting Family Guy> Season 01 I put season 02?

Yeah. It’s always
TV Shows < folder
TV show name < folder
Season <folder
Show Title - SxxExx - (optional episode name)

Once you get used to the structure; it’s pretty simple to do and if you have a lot to do; there’s a simple program called filebot that can rename your episodes in seconds and not have to type each episode over and over and over. . . :wink:

You are so helpful! Thanks a lot and I am glad you were on :smiley:

I put season 2 and now I can’t even open the folders in plex :(. It just turns blank when I open it.

Can you show us the names of the files in the folders? Also how are you viewing the files in Plex (TV Shows, Seasons, Episodes or by Folder)?
