I am having an issues with how Friends TV (DVD) series is showing up in my library. I added Season 9 via MakeMKV. I started with disk 1 and all episodes titles displayed correct, however when I went to add in the other 3 disks the titles did not show up. It looks like it is stacking the subsequent disks (2-4) under the disk 1 artwork, however I am not able to access those titles).
My server has the individual files and the have unique file names. The library structure is: /tv shows/friends/season 9 (all 4 disks are in the same season 9 folder). When I was ripping the last disk I created a sub-folder (/tv shows/friends/season 9/disk 4) and had different results, where episodes from disk 4 showed up as Season 4 with incorrect titles.
Do I have a incorrect setting on my server or am I storing the files incorrectly?
Take the title as it is used on TheTVDB.
If there is something in parentheses, take that too.
If the title contains invalid characters (depends on your file system), like § : % *, simply leave them out.
Check the naming and the folder structure of your show.
Name the top folder of the show exactly after the title on TheTVDB.
No abbreviations. No additional subfolders. No aliases.
Add the (year) in parentheses of when episode 1 of season 1 of this show was aired.
Name the episode files according to the above linked naming guide.
Use the same title as for the top folder. Show's Title (year) - s01e01 - additional info.ext (’- additional info’ can be left out)
After you corrected the naming and folder structure, perform the Plex Dance with all files for this show.
