How to get PLEX to recognize shows with apostrophe in the title?

Hi, it looks like Plex is unable to recognize shows that have an apostrophe in the title. i.e Childhood’s End

I believe Plex is the issue since the show is listed in TheTVdb as “Childhood’s end”, but you need to name the folder Childhoods.End since an apostrophe is an illegal character.

Is there a way to manually fix this or request an update to the scanner to search additional wildcards with titles that have s at the end of a word? :slight_smile:

D’oh, that was my bad! I’m using`` a headless Plex server with Centos 7

I should have made the folder like

mkdir Childhood\'s.End

Thank you for the reply and putting me on the right track. :slight_smile:

I also had to rename the files as well. :s

TV/Childhood\'s.End/
From:
Childhoods.End.Part.1.1080p.HDTV.x264-BRISK.mkv
To:
Childhood's.End.S00E01.1080p.HDTV.x264-BRISK.mkv
