Miising Episode Names

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935
Player Version#: 4.30.2

I download all my Udemy courses - I like to have them local and play them that way. I’ve renamed all the ‘chapters’ to s01 and so on and in the folders the episodes are listed as s01e01 - Episode Name.mp4 and so on. However, when imported I just Episode 1 - no name or anything and in the metadata the filename isn’t there. Do I have to do this manually or something? Is there a plugin I can use?

For that kind of media…

  1. use the Personal Media Shows agent
  2. make sure the files have the episode titles embedded (e.g. using a metadata editor)

Plex will not use the episode name you enter as part of the file name.
Plex is reading metadata e.g. from mp4, m4v or mov files.
