Hi
I’ve just added a tv show named Wilder but the plex doesn’t recognize the movie files…

Here is the ocmplete mediainfo of the first episode… Does anyone know why plex can’t recognize this one? I have also other movies in avi an there isn’t a problem with them…

Thanks

It is not the .avi file format, it is your file name.
If you want a series in plex (and you want Plex to recognise it as a real series )
you need to follow a certain convention to name and organise your files.
