I have a few TV shows (with episodes), IN the TV Shows directory that Plex matches as Movies. They are not. Is there not anyway to get it to be recognized as a TV Show?

That raises the key question… Did you link both your tv and movies folder to your movies library? Plex wants you to assign tv-show and movie files to separate libraries. Example: Library Linked folder Movies C:\Users\[user name]\Videos\Movies\ TV Shows C:\Users\[user name]\Videos\TV Sh…

They are separate. I should add, when I went to match the individual episodes and found the correct title, Plex has it listed as a movie. It is not. It was a TV Series with individual episodes

What movies/tv shows are we talking about. A movie library intentionally ignores files with the TV notation S01E01 and the like. a TV library ignores files that don’t have the notation. [image] davidsco27: when I went to match the individual episodes There is no function to match individual …

[image] davidsco27: As I stated, they are all separated in the correct folders. Libraries are not folders. I’m talking about libraries. A movie library pointed at a folder containing TV show episodes files will try to match them with movies because it is a movie library. [image] davidsco2…

Now that we’ve gone back and forth on the same non issue for 6 messages and accomplished nothing. I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. THE LIBRARIES ARE POINTED TO THE CORRECT SEPARATE FOLDERS. Can we get off that now??? I appreciate your trying to help, but you’re not, trying to focus on what…

I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT SHOW, PLEASE READ WHAT I WROTE FIRST, THEN MAYBE WE CAN TALK, lol. I know you can’t see what I see, that is why I described it several times already. The problem is, you have to READ first, THEN respond. Try NOT to fire off your standard wrote replies, as tempting as that …

Let’s curb it down a notch. Writing in all-caps isn’t getting you anywhere. Your first post was far from being as clear as you consider it to be… your subsequent posts were not helping your case. As BigWheel stated… there’s no individual matching of episodes. If you have those Charlie Brown and …

[image] davidsco27: but plex incorrectly has it as a movie. what movie. the two places tv libraries get info from are here Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show — The Movie Database (TMDB) . and here Search - TheTVDB.com . neither of which that I can find have that as a movie.

Big wheel, please, keep on turning, you’re not helping

As I stated, they are all separated in the correct folders. The program is the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. There are two seasons of episodes. I know there’s no function to match individual episodes, I meant when I chose one and tried to match, as it didn’t match anything in it’s own. I can search for and find the correct title, but plex incorrectly has it as a movie. It is not
