Plex imported Star Trek: Lower Decks as Movies

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

Server Version#: 1.32.4.7195

I started using Plex Server today. I added a bunch of Movies and everything went well.

When I tried to add Star Trek: Lower Decks, at first it wouldn’t show the files at all, except in “Other Videos”. When I used Filebot to rename the files using TVDB, the files now show up in Movies, but not TV Shows!

I’ve spent two hours googling and looking up Reddit threads trying to figure out if I have named something incorrectly.

My directory is E:\TV Shows\Star Trek Lower Decks\Season 1\Star Trek Lower Decks - 1x01 - Second Contact.mkv

Again, the files show up under Movies, as individual videos.

Why don’t they show up in TV Shows?

The files play just fine, they’re just in the wrong category!

Do you have the TV library pointing to “TV Shows” and not higher or lower?

Did you select TV Shows as he library type?

Aside from those your naming looks OK but I us two digit season numbers ie. “01” and I use SxxEyy instead of SxE. But either should work fine.

I double checked where the library was pointing and evidently it had somehow selected an entirely different directory, F:

Not sure how that happened, but now everything is as it should be.

Thanks!
