Hi, I’m trying to add some content that will not match - it’s random documentaries from YT. They’re all from a specific channel but no episode or series numbers - just a title.

I’ve renamed them to Series Name - S00EXX - Titlename.mp4

The title doesn’t pull through into the library. Any pointers would be very helpful

You can configure your library to use embedded metadata and edit the metadata tags of those mp4 files accordingly. Plex doesn’t have any means to use the episode title section from your file names.
