New TV titles season 1 episode 13.mp4

Plex scans are not picking up the new title changes so I have to retitled everything why doesn’t the plex pick it up anymore?

If they don’t look something like that - with Filebot they will.

Note:
See all those (1993) fields I don’t need?

Poof - gone in .4 seconds - every single episode, in every single season - like magic:

If you use Plex’s naming scheme then things will work 99.995% of the time. Any other naming and all bets are off:

---

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}
