More than 9 TV seasons

Server Version 1.19.4.2935
I ripped all of my TV shows to a Folder named TV Shows and a subfolder for each show. For Example MASH has its own folder as does Friends. Then under each show, I have Season subfolders. MASH has 11 seasons and Friends has 10. I set my Library to scan the topmost folder (TV Shows) My library only shows the first 9 seasons of both MASH and Friends. If there are less than 9 seasons, they all show up. Is there any way to have Plex import season 10 of Friends and in the case of MASH 10 and 11

Show us your file names and structure:

I guess you’d ‘Get Info’ from an episode you can see - and grab that screenshot.
Paste it to a message - or drag and drop.

I got 18 Seasons of Family Guy, but I got to Stargate SG-1 first.

Looking at your example, I was able to figure it out. My file was named 1001 - That’s Show Biz. I changed it to S10E01 - That’s Show Biz, and it worked fine. Thanks.

I am just guessing but you may have your season folders named with only one digit up to Season 10. I suggest that you name your season with two digits like “Season 01”

The general structure I use is:


TV Shows <- The TV library points here

_______ShowName (year)

____________Season 01

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e01 - Optional Name.ext

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e02 - Optional Name.ext

__________________and so on for the shows in season 01

____________Season 02 <- just like Season 01

____________Season 03 <- and so on for each season

____________Season 00 <- or “Specials”

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e01 - Optional name

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e02 - Optional name

__________________and so on for each special

Note 1: the eXX part of the specials must match EXACTLY what is found in TheTVDB

Note 2: The (year) may be omitted for shows that do not have more than one occurrence throughout the years.

There are many other structures and naming systems that work but this is the one I use and it just works.

For a mass rename I use FileBot with this format string {n.replaceTrailingBrackets()} - {s00e00.lower()} - {t}


For the few series that get to three digits I would recommend using three digits for all season folders ie. Season 001 and so on.

I have M.A.S.H. in my library and there is no problem with all the seasons.
