Server Version#: 1.32.5.7328  
Player Version#: 4.108.0 (web)

Hey guys, sorry if this topic is discussed before. I couldnt find it.  
My Episode Titles are not named after the file name, which would be prefered.  
The Episodes are named after the Date, after i refresh metadata.

My PlexFiles naming convention is for example “Folge 001 - Hier kommt Ruffy der kuenftige Koenig der Piraten.mkv”

They are in a shared Folder with my Nextcloud, For example the Video File I mentioned is under this Path

Shared\_Media\Serien\One Piece\Staffel 01\

I want that the Episodes are named after the Filename

Now its called : 2023-07-27, which is the same as Originally Available i guess (sorry my english is not the best, i have everything in german). i think plex takes the date when the file is created or uploaded to the server as the title name.

Thank you for your help.

Greetings,

@flow thank you for you answer.

so i saw at the page this:  
`/Band of Brothers (2001)/Season 01/Band of Brothers (2001) - s01e01 - Currahee.mkv`

in my case i must change my path in  
One Piece (2001)/Season 01/

and my file in:  
One Piece (2001) - s01e01 - Hier kommt Ruffy der kuenftige Koenig der Piraten.mkv?

Unfortunatly it did not work sofar. I added a complete new libery.  
i selected now for the libary Shared\_Media\Serien\TV Shows

there are the folders One Piece Test (2002)\Season 01

wirth the filename: One Piece Test (2002) - s01e01 - Hier kommt Ruffy der kuenftige Koenig der Piraten.mkv

i selected in plex scanner: Plex TV Series  
and the agent: The TVDB

the Episode is now called “Episode 01”. well it is now not the date when added, but i want the Episode is called “Hier kommt Ruffy der kuenftige Koenig der Piraten” or something like this

Is this possible?

Verschoben ins deutsche Forum.

>
> Shared\_Media\Serien\One Piece\Staffel 01\

Wichtige Frage: Die Mediathek wurde exakt auf den Ordner `Serien` gerichtet?  
d.h. nicht etwa eine Ebene darüber oder darunter

Schlechte Idee. Das funktoniert gar nicht zusammen. Wenn du “Plex TV Series” als Scanner wählst, dann musst du als Agenten “Plex Series” wählen.  
Alles andere ist “deprecated” und wird nicht mehr gepflegt.

Ich empfehle, die neue Mediathek gleich wieder zu entfernen und mit den obigen Einstellungen neu zu erstellen.  
Wenn diese Folgenanordnung: [One Piece: East Blue (1999) — The Movie Database (TMDB)](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/37854/season/1) auch deinen Dateien entspricht, dann kannst du ansonsten mit den Standardeinstellungen weiter machen.
