Missing many files

Server Version#: Version 1.18.4.2171

I’ve used youtube-dl to download a bunch of educational youtube channels for my kids to watch, so that I can block youtube and restrict them down to specific channels. I had the folder setup as a Library type “Other” to start with, but it only allows playing one at a time. They want to put it on random and sit back. So I created a new one using the Library type “TV Shows” and Agent of “Personal Media Shows”. However it is missing most of the files/episodes.
I tried the ‘Plex Dance™’, and I tried putting all the files into separate seasons folders based on the years, which increased the number a little.

For example on plex one channel has 13 episodes in the library TV Shows type Library, but on disk there are a 113 mp4 files. I’ve checked and the ones missing all play on the Other type library.

Even with the Personal Media Shows agent, you still need to use proper “tv show”-style filenames.

How are these files named?
