The naming structure below works for me, running PMS on a Synology DS918+.
As @Coxeroni mentions, you must use Plex’s naming and organization requirements. Library is type TV Show; use a season folder; spaces and dashes matter; eliminate the non-essential information from the file name, as it impairs Plex’s ability to correctly match media.
/TV Shows/What's My Name Muhammad Ali/Season 01/What's My Name Muhammad Ali - s01e01.mkv
/TV Shows/Wu-Tang Clan Of Mics and Men (2019)/Season 01/Wu-Tang Clan Of Mics and Men (2019)- s01e01.mkv
Here’s additional information on how Plex matches media with online sources. It details why file names containing info such as “AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTG” impair Plex’s ability to correctly match media.
I downloaded Filebot and installed it on my Windows.
I mapped the Plex folder of my synology to my Windows and loaded the “What’s My Name Muhammad Ali” files into Filebot and matched it with The TVDB.
FileBot showed that the matching names for The TVDB matching are:
“What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali - 1x01 - Part I”
“What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali - 1x01 - Part II”
After I did a check on the site of The TVDB, I manually renamed the files to:
“What’s My Name Muhammad Ali - 1x1 - Part I”
“What’s My Name Muhammad Ali - 1x2 - Part II”
Now Plex fetched the correct meta data.
It’s a bit of work, but my library is complete.
So thank Y’all for the helpfull tips and the support!
The ‘default’ Filebot settings are not ‘the Plex’ Filebot settings.
The Plex Dance would have cured this issue - instead of changing the names to something Plex didn’t recognize - since they’re wrong - but by some miracle worked (for a while maybe).
{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
There ya go…
(unless you want to use the Full Blown Plex settings for Filebot: ({Plex}) <---I think - checking...
wherein the thing will name and structure for ya…
