I am having an issue with my library showing numbers for episodes but no descriptions or episode names. I’ve tried the “Plex Dance” and had no luck whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

How are your files named? Which tv show is it? If it’s Anime, please take a look at these threads [image] Keeping items from merging General Discussions Hey there – got two episodes for a series that keep merging with each other. I have control over how…

Thanks for the reply the formatting is as shown on the attached images [Capture2] [Capture]

Unfortunately, your Windows is hiding filename extensions, so I cannot see what type of files you have. If you have .mp4/.m4v: Go to Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom…

The files are mkv also I have adjusted the file type and one anime changed but names changed to dates. I use filebot for naming btw is there a plex format that it can take? Attached new screenshots of name change. [Capture3] [Capture4] [Capture%204] [Capture6] [Capture5]

The Hero Academia issue is certainly caused by a wrong folder structure. The TVDB doesn’t treat new seasons as separate shows. Show me your folder structure please and tell which of the folders the Plex library has been pointed to.

I deleted the library and renamed my hero academia with file bots season finder and it changed the format now all shows seem fine… any idea what caused this whole folder to mess up? I have attached changes thank you so much my goal is to understand what actually fixed this and why the format is diff…

Now the file names are even worse! This will not work for long. As you add more and more shows and seasons to your library it will break eventually. Stick to the naming schema I detailed above. After mismatches and file renamings, you might have to perform the Plex Dance Deleting and recreating …

Yikes is there a way I can have the correct format with filebot, sorry I made it worse. I have no idea how to correct this on a larger scale
