Server Version#:1.23.2.4656  
Player Version#:Using Web App in Browser  
I have tried several naming conventions for NCIS Los Angeles, however none of them will provide any metedata.  
Folder Name :NCIS - Los Angeles also tried NCIS  
File Name:NCIS - Los Angeles - S03E22 - Neighborhood Watch.mkv  
File Name NCIS - Los Angeles - 2012-05-08 - S03E22 - Neighborhood Watch.mkv  
File Name NCIS - Los Angeles (2012) - S03E22 - Neighborhood Watch.mkv  
I also tried same naming conventions above with NCIS Los Angeles (dash removed from show name) and none of them work reflecting show metedata.

I have the whole third season, and will add it once the correct naming convention works with metedata.  
Thanks for your assistance!

You mean the episodes are added and show up in the correct season/episodes but you’re not getting any thumbs/descriptions – or does the show not match in the first place?  
The following naming schema should work (as per Plex guides):

```plaintext
TV Shows <- the folder linked to your tv-show library
  NCIS Los Angeles (2009)
    Season 03
      NCIS Los Angeles (2009) - s03e22 - Neighborhood Watch.mkv
      ...

```

If the basic matching gives you a hard time you can optionally include a reference in the top-level folder for that show – e.g. naming it `NCIS Los Angeles (2009) {tvdb-95441}` or `NCIS Los Angeles (2009) {tmdb-17610}` or `NCIS Los Angeles (2009) {imdb-tt1378167}`

The Plex TV Series agent/scanner prefers if you include the release year… though make sure to use the correct one (for NCIS LA that’s 2009 – not the release year of an individual episode!).

# 

Also… which agent are you using for this tv-show library?

The TVDB and Local Media Assets(TV) and changing the Root Folder for the Show and refreshing the metedata fixed the issue. Thank you so much! YOU ROCK!
