They'll need to be in a TV Series section, not a movies section. ---

> They'll need to be in a TV Series section, not a movies section. Thanks for your fast answer! Can you explain further how I need to do this ? Do you mean a new folder on my QNAP NAS ? Or somewhere in Plex GUI ? ---

Kinda both... /Media/Movies  and plex configured as a movies section /Media/TV and plex configured as a TV section. in Plex/Web you hit the + icon to add a new section, it will prompt you for what type.  Select the right one the point it at the part of that type of media. ---
