Is this a labeling issue?

Okay so this is what I have on my server it only shows 3 shows when I have more in the destination folder. I have deleted the grouping on my server and reloaded it and it still only comes up with the three shows. If I move the other folders into a non TV Show group (Movie Group) they show up but not grouped together i think I am labeling things right.

P.S. the 3 that show up I didn’t change the labeling at all that’s how I got them from a buddies hard drive

Plex expects a defined file naming & organization. Especially for TV shows. My Plex experience became a lot less frustrating after learning the Plex Way.

Here’s the link to the info:

For your specific media shown above, check out the TV Show Files information. After you rename & reorganize, you may want to do the Plex Dance to get everything in Plex correct:

Plex uses thetvdb.com for episode ordering.

To use Tailspin as an example:
tvdb listing: https://thetvdb.com/series/talespin/seasons/official/1

Plex file structure:

/Children's TV Shows
  /Tailspin
    /Season 01
      /Tailspin - s01e05.avi
      /Tailspin - s01e06 - It Came from Beneath the Sea Duck.avi

Plex ignores everything after SxxEyy. It doesn’t matter to Plex if you add the episode names or not.

Many people find Filebot helpful if they have to rename a large number of files.
