Naming TV shows to Match TheTVDB

Plex Media Server
1

Hello, just need some verification.

Looking at the entries in TheTVDB for the old show from 1977 called In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy, just try to figure out the correct file naming convention so the metadata queries correctly - since its 144 episodes, looking to get it right.

Based on the info in TVDB, is the following folder structure and file naming convention right?

/TV Shows
/In Search Of… (1977)
Season 01
In Search Of… - S01E01.mp4

This should basically do. You might not need to include the year to the show title.
If you’re using the new Plex TV Show scanner/agent (currently in beta), you can also include a tvdb/tmdb id as a reference in the top-level show folder.

e.g.

TV Shows
  In Search Of... {tmdb-3574}
    Season 01
      In Search Of... - s01e01.mp4
      ...

or

TV Shows
  In Search Of... [tvdb-71309]
    Season 01
      In Search Of... - s01e01.mp4
      ...

Thanks!
