When I started copying my DVD library to our MyCloud Server, I didn’t differentiate between movies or tv shows. Now that I’m setting up Plex properly, I’d like to move files or shows to their proper place in the TV shows library on Plex. After digging around on the web, I went through the manage libraries and made a folder on MyCloud called TV shows and started moving the files into it. I scanned the TV Shows library with the shows moved into it and nothing was found. I tried deleting the shows that I’d moved from my Movies folder on Plex and scanned again. Nothing. Not in the Movies folder or TV shows folder on Plex. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

The imdb number in the movie file is not required, but it does help matching movies correctly especially if you have more than one movie with the same title/year
You cannot put tv shows in a movie library or movies in a tv library
If you have a large amount of content to rename i suggest you look into a renaming program. These are fast and accurate and will save you a lot of time. (both are free versions)
For tv shows named according to the TVDB show order
tinyMediaManager is good for renaming movies and can even input the imdb number automatically
