Server Version#: DSM 7.1 I was adding a new TV Series to my TV Shows Folder. While Plex Dashboard kept showing it was reading the file being added it never actually added the any of them. I tried moving folders around, checking Permissions in the Control Panel, Checked the file name to make sure th…

That’s odd, that file path worked for over a year. No, I don’t have a renaming tool. I can fix the files individually.

It may have worked… you got lucky. The old scanners were python and very liberal. The standard has always been Name - SxxExx [ - optional title].ext If you grab a renamer at some point, let us know. we’ll help with the renaming template. Curating a lot of media pretty much mandates a tool …

It seems to be working, 4 files I tried it on are now showing. I’ll message back on end results or if I have a problem.

Chuck, you weren’t kidding about the renaming tool. I downloaded one then spent a few minutes figuring out how to get into the media files. I spent 6 hrs hand fixing half of my tv shows and under 30 mins fixing the rest with the renaming tool. I feel like an idiot for wasting the first 6 hours…haha. …

I use Sonarr for all my OTA. I learned the hard way, like you, naming it right the first time is quintessential. Since Sonarr names it perfectly, I transferred that same format into my renaming tool for all TV series I rip from bluray. Plex never misses on anything I add - AND - it’s quick

[image] bbyangl59: I have to redo them because it’s never shows automatically Plex should show the episode names, can you provide some details on what episodes are not getting named?

You should also check your media files for embedded title tags! And if so, ether edit your files and remove them, or switch off Prefer local Metadata on your library

I second ChucPa on the use of Sonrarr. It’s a slight overkill for library management but it is also pretty darn fool proof in renaming and, importing (moving) files and shows to their right place, plus its real neat UI for looking at the library of Your show and movies (etc) You can find some good …

All of my shows are like this: [BonesEpisodes] [PainEpisodes] The episodes names aren’t showing but it identifies Episode 1-xx. Since I started using Plex I’ve just manually typed them in as they were being added. Now I have to do that again unless those of you who know more than me knows how to…

You would have to walk me through that because your talking over my head. If its any changes that need to be done through my server, I can check it when I get home from work.

And if it was, you might have to do a Plex Dance on the shows with the bad episode titles
