Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645 Player Version#: I have saved my rip of Third Rock from the Sun in directory: D:\media\tv\3rd rock from the sun. I have the TV library directory listed as D:\media\tv. When I browse through the TV shows listed on the server, I never see 3rd rock from the sun. I do not find it anywhere in the list of tv shows. What can I try to find out why this directory isn’t being added? I have issues with my movies directory not getting all movies too. ---

Perform the Dance for the entire show, not just certain episodes/seasons.

This helps when you want to “start from scratch” for particular item move all files for the media item out of the directory your Library is looking at, so Plex will not “see” it anymore scan the library library (to detect changes) empty trash clean bundles (in menu next to server name, when accessed under ‘More’) double check naming schema and move files back scan the library Support articl… ---
