Hi all,
I just imported 7 seasons of a TV show onto my NAS and all seasons except for season 4 are showing - I cant seem to find a clear answer online on how to make this display - all file names are the same so S01Ep1 and so on for all seasons.
I hope this is the right place for this post.
Thanks!
That means all files are named incorrectly.
Therefore the results are unpredictable.
adhere strictly to https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220687-naming-series-season-based-tv-shows/
Thanks for reply.
I have each season in seperate folders so Game of Thrones > Season 1 > Game of Thrones S01EP1.mkv - which to me looks like what its asking for… or im having a magic moment.
That has worked for seasons 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 - just strange that not for 4 - the rest just instantly showed up on plex
S01EP1 <-- wrong
S01E01 <-- right
Ok magic moment it is!
Thats worked! Thank you so much!
Is there another way of adding Tv shows to Plex?
naming should be like this:
TV Shows← the folder that contains all your tv shows for Plex
.. / Paw Patrol← the show’s name
.. .. / Season 02← 2-digit season number
.. .. .. / Paw Patrol - s02e01.ext← whereextis the file extension (e.g. mkv)
.. .. .. / Paw Patrol - s02e02.ext
.. .. .. / ...
as per the link posted above by @ottokerner:

Depending on what OS you use there’s apps to help you with the renaming – if you want to avoid doing it manually. In macOS you can do that right in the Finder via mass-renaming your files; for Windows there’s e.g. an app called FileBot (however I believe that’s no longer free).
Got it! Thanks
Is there a way for renaming in Windows 10 OS?
not a heavy Windows user; from my experience you cannot do this natively with just the OS.
The 3rd party option mentioned above can be found here but it’s no longer free:
