Plex DocsYour MediaNaming & Organizing Your TV Show Files

Step One: Rename the episodes per Plex requirements, then re-scan the library.
EDIT: Use parenthesis, not square brackets, for show year. Plex ignores information in square brackets.

/Television K-Z  <-- folder added to TV show library
../Lonesome Dove (1989) <-- show_name (year)
..../Season 01 <-- "Season" in English
....../Lonesome Dove s01e01.mp4  <-- sXXeYY important
....../Lonesome Dove s01e02.mp4
....../Lonesome Dove s01e03.mp4
....../Lonesome Dove s01e04.mp4

Step Two: Configure Plex to ignore embedded metadata
Incorrect embedded metadata may cause problems with movie/show recognition.

  • Edit the library → Advanced → deselect Prefer local metadata
  • Refresh Metadata if Plex does not do so automatically

Step Three: Plex Dance the TV show.
