Plex is not showing Old tv series (A Date with the Angels) Betty White 1957

Server Version#:1.58.1.3380-ea159c52
Player Version#:
I cannot get Plex to display A Date with the Angels starring Betty White. It is a little known series from 1957. I’m sure that I am missing something small but I’d like to watch it on Plex. I have named it both A Date with the Angels and Date with the Angels and neither seems to work. It doesn’t appear; There is another series on the same set of dvds - Life with Elizabeth. It shows up fine.
It is currently named: Date with the Angels(1957) {tvdb-71299} S1E1-E13

Plex DocumentationYour MediaNaming & Organizing Your TV Shows Files

Make sure you follow Plex naming and organization requirements for TV shows.

  • TVDB/TMDB ID on show folder, not file name
  • Use a Season folder
  • Two digits for season & episode numbers.

/TV Shows/Date with the Angels (1957) {tvdb-71299}/Season 01/Date with the Angels (1957) s01e01-e13.ext ← ext = mkv/mp4/etc.

You may need to Plex Dance the show after renaming/reorganizing.


TMDB and TVDB list the show differently. Configure Plex to use the desired episode ordering.
TMDB: One season, 39 episodes
TVDB: Two seasons, Season 1 = 12 episodes, Season 2 = 21 episodes.

  1. Edit the TV show (pencil icon)
  2. Select Advanced
  3. Set Episode Ordering as desired
  4. Save Changes
  5. Refresh the metadata for the show if Plex does not do so automatically.

File named as above.
