I started with Plex Media Server on my Qnap this week. Now I have the first problem.
I added yesterday 291 Episodes but the first 10 were missed. Rename and new add didn’t help.
In the logs I don’t see any error.
Someone an idea?
You should have season folders. Season 01, Season 02 ect…
You also need that info in the file name
E11 needs to be S01E11
https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/
A file renaming tool will help automate making the names consistent and perfect.
Example:
[chuck@lizum Dragon Ball Z.2001]$ ls -la
total 108

I don’t know whats wrong…
On S01 the last Episode has no Name and then every follow episode has the title of the next episode…
S02 starts with the Name from the last Episode in S01…
Where did the show order you’re using come from?
I can’t translate all of your show titles but I can see they don’t match the order Chuck has for his shows. There are 39 episodes listed for season 1 on both TVDB and TMDB
You need to follow the show order from one of these sources
https://thetvdb.com/series/dragon-ball-z/seasons/official/1
Consider Chucks suggestion to use a renaming tool. I use this one but it follows the TVDB show order which you have to change in the advanced library settings if you want to use it
I took the order from the German Wikipedia 
Sorry but I tested it with Dragonball from 1986 not with Dragonball Z
Ok
Delete all traces of Wikipedia from your computer LOL
The only show orders Plex uses come from the two sources I listed above
If you choose the use the TVDB you can switch it here
3 dots next to the library → Manage Library → Edit → Advanced
Also, per the first link @JaysPlex provided:
- Be sure to use the English word “Season” when creating season directories, even if your content is in another language.
I’m not sure how important that is, but not sticking to the naming conventions list by Plex in that article can result in breakage in future updates, so it’s always better to use them to be safe.

Thanks but this TheTVDB is the last crap with chinese titles…
Thanks it works now.
I got the Next Problem, but only via TV. I want to Stream the First Episode of Season 1 from DBZ, but it skips Episode 1 and give the option to start in 15sec Episode 2.
Seems that there is a problem I cannot stream the Episode they always skip to the next 
Any Ideas?
What client is this issue occurring on?
You said only via TV, so are you using a client from a smart TV or are you using a set top box like a Roku or Apple TV or something else?
I’m not really sure why that issue could be happening but, more information would be helpful.
-Shark2k
I use the Plex App via LG TV (WebOS), tested on two TVs.
I replaced Episode 1 as Test but the Problem is still the same.
Via Smartphone and Plex App there is no problem to start the Episodes
Its only with Dragonball Z
I can not promote enough of this program for file naming and curating.
Honestly, I have never had an issue after using it and ensuring all my files went to Plex already curated and named.
https://www.filebot.net/download.html
The above program has saved me hundreds of hours of frustration, literally.
I have close to 5000 TV episodes and using the above has made it next to painless.
The Naming of all Series are the same and I have only the Problem with 1 Serie… on both TVs not on Desktop or Smartphone via Plex
I don’t know why, but disabling direct stream & direct play on the TV App solved the Problem.
Via Direct Stream it works, but when I enable direct play the Problem is there.
