Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
12

There you go…
Plex is pretty picky / strict when it comes to naming your tv shows and their folder organization.
Structure and naming should look like this:

Shared TV Shows   <- the folder linked to the tv shows library in Plex
   Show Name
      Season XX
         Show Name - sXXeYY - optional episode title.ext
         Show Name - sXXeYY.ext   <- Plex will ignore the episode title anyway
         ...

Where XX is the season number, YY is the episode number and .ext is the file extension

Specifically:

Shared TV Shows
   The X-Files
      Season 01
         The X-Files - s01e01 - Pilot.avi
         The X-Files - s01e02 - Deep Throat.avi
         The X-Files - s01e03 - Squeeze.avi
         ...
         The X-Files - s01e24 - The Erlenmeyer Flask.avi

Most likely Plex has merged all files in that single episode of yours.
In order to fix this you need to correct the file names (folder structure is ok). Considering Plex already has finger-printed the files, you’ll need to perform a “Plex Dance” to make sure Plex doesn’t match them based on any cached information.

  1. Move the entire show out of the folder monitored by Plex
  2. Scan Library Files (via the context menu of that Plex library: ... > Scan Library Files)
  3. Empty Trash (via the context menu of the Plex library: ... > Manage Library > Empty Trash)
  4. Clean Bundles (via the server settings: Settings > [Server Name] > Manage > Troubleshooting > Clean Bundles)
  5. verify the files are now correctly named and return the folder structure into the Shared TV Shows folder
  6. Scan Library Files (see #2)
