Hi,  
My friend give me his FTP server for tv shows. It was index via h5ai. So if I visit this IP I can see this files. So I’ve mounted the files with Rclone. Everything is working fine. Then I’ve created a library in PMS and add the mounted directory. Using TVDB as agent. Plex started scanning but after completing the scanning I’ve noticed that Most of my Series are not matched. I’ve tried TheMovieDB as agent nothing seems working. Folder is named like THIS:

How to fix this problem ? Why all of them don’t matched ? Please help me to fix the issue. It is not possible to match 1700+ series manually.

Your friend isn’t naming the files properly according to what Plex likes. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/)

Also, that show although is from 2019, TheTVDB actually has it as 2020 for matching purposes. Their data is stupid in some cases and there is a disconnected between the years. If he fixes the naming and change the year to 2020 the auto-matching works fine. The naming might be ok, but the year does need to change.
