Server Version#: Player Version#: 6.49.6153 (Roku and Let me start out by saying I legally purchased the complete Newhart series and did not pirate it. So I am trying to organize on my plex server. I also downloaded (from Windows 7) the latest Plex and did a meta refresh. Anyone else have this problem? Know what to do? C:/media/TV Shows/newhart/Season 1/newhart - s01e01 and various combinations with and without 0. But the Plex on my Roku tv always shows them (7 seasons) as things like Pokemon, Walking Dead, House.

Do your files maybe contain some embedded metadata that could throw Plex off? This should only apply for MP4/M4V files… Otherwise your actual file naming looks ok, assuming your library is pointing at `C:\media\TV Shows\`… Just to verify… The show is also messed up in Plex Web or only on your Roku? ---

Both on the Plex via Chrome and the Plex via Roku. Not sure there is any way to change the default library location? I actually put the files where I believed the library was pointing. They are MP4, but I don’t know whether they have embedded metadata? Is there a way to check? The same thing happens, by the way, with “Coach”, which I also legally purchased. ---

[Edit your library](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289266-editing-libraries/ "Edit your library"), then go to the ‘Add Folders’ tab to see where it is pointing. You must **not** add each tv show individually to the library. ---

> [@bistritapcv](#): > > They are MP4, but I don’t know whether they have embedded metadata? Is there a way to check? I believe you can see some embedded metadata via Windows’ Explorer (File Properties → Title). For a more detailed look into your file and its metadata you can use e.g. apps like [mp3tag](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html). If that’s the issue you can either remove/fix the embedded title or decrease the priority of the local metadata in your agent settings (`Settings > Server > Agents`; pick the agent used by your library; drag `Local Media Assets` to be lower end of the list). ---

Some icons let me “fix match” and search with terms. other ones don’t. So I fixed some. Not sure why newhart would have metadata encoded in the mp4 for Pokemon or Walking Dead? ---

`Fix Match` is only available on the tv show level – not for seasons or episodes. Your files don’t actually need to contain the actual words “Pokemon” or “Walking Dead”… the embedded title could still result in Plex getting those shows as best matching shows. You’d be surprised what some software writes into the embedded metadata 😉 ---

Please use complete sentences. If you mean by that, that you are downloading into a subfolder of the folder where Plex is looking for media, then stop doing that. Use a folder for downloading/ripping that is completely outside of Plex’s scope. Perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-incorrectly-identifying-tv-episodes/100265/4 "Plex Dance") with all files and folders of the mismatched show(s). ---

In a Directory for your content, you may have a Folder that is not linked to Libraries for Plex. Example: Named (Preview) From there you can name new Title correctly and transfer that Title with files to the correct Folder that links to the desired Plex Library. ---

I have noticed this: If I have ``` C:\media\TV Shows\Coach\Season 1\Coach - s1e1 ``` it will not work correctly, but if I eliminate the season directory ``` C:\media\TV Shows\Coach\Coach - s1e1 ``` it seems to work. So I guess I can put all the seasons into the same directory? Did I misunderstand that you could have a “Season x” directory? ---

Then perhaps you did not add the folder `C:\media\TV Shows` to your library, but you pointed to `C:\media\TV Shows\Coach` directly – which is the wrong way to do it. btw always use padded numbers to 2-digits ( `Coach - s01e01.mkv`), unless you have higher numbers to accomodate, like episode numbers over 100 or season numbers which use years like `Looney Tunes - S1940E24 - A Wild Hare.mkv`. ---

If you want a separate _library_, you’ll have to create a separate top-level folder for all your coaching “shows”. `C:\media\Coaching\Coach\Coach - s01e01.mkv` ---
