Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

Hello,

Having only done the film part up until now, I’m now working on the series part.
The settings were already done, identical to the films.
But when I scan, it finds nothing.

An example tree structure

→ TV Show
→ Resident Alien (2021)
→ Season 3
→ Resident Alien 2021- S03E04 - Avian Flu WEBDL-1080p

I don’t see any errors, just that it can’t find anything, and I don’t know how to solve the problem :confused:

Ty !

It appears Plex can’t see the media in this directory linked to your library.

3

Yet the folder has exactly the same rights as the movies folder, so I don’t know where the problem might come from :confused:

4

Given this is inside a container… how do you map the difference too-level folders into your container?
Did you check/compare permissions inside the container or the host OS?

5

Try to replace the character in the folder name between tv and shows. I have a hunch that this is the offending thing.
