Ignore subfolder name in Tv Show scan

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I use a program called Popcorntime to download and watch a lot of movies and tv shows and i use plex to play it on my tv. This works quite well. I just added the folder that pocorntime downloads to and wolla it recognizes the file and gives them the correct metadata. This only works for movies though, when it comes to tv shows it can´t find the metadata and the only thing that appears is the sub-folder name which is a bunch of random letters and numbers. i think it does so because it thinks the sub-folder name is the name of the tv show. This obviously is not the case.

Is there anyway to make the tv show scanner ignore the sub-folder name and just scan the files?

 

Help would be much appreciated.

What's in the subfolder and where does it come from?

in general you need to follow the naming guides for TV Shows:
