Plex issue while adding content

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

I have a problem with my plex

After selecting the TV Show Folder all shows started to show up
Some 73 different TV Shows adds up in the dashboard during the scan
after a while during the scan I start to get messages “Deleted an Item on NAS” (NAS is the name of my WD mycloud EX2 Ultra).
During this also a Folder Named TVShows created on Plex Dashboard that contains some 600 Episodes which I do not have , It mixes all in one folder.
Screenshot of the event log

Folder structure is something like
I:\TVShows\2 Broke Girls\2.Broke.Girls.S01.720p.BluRay.x264-PSYCHD\2.broke.girls.s01e01.720p.bluray.x264-psychd.mkv (For Windows it is mounted drive)
/mnt/HD/HD_a2/2 Broke Girls/2.Broke.Girls.S01.720p.BluRay.x264-PSYCHD/2.broke.girls.s01e01.720p.bluray.x264-psychd.mkv(For NAS Setup)
I have tested 2 different installation Plex Installed on WD Ex2 Ultra and on my Windows .
Tested it via directly selecting the “TVShows” as root Folder during the Plex Setup.

Both time same thing is happening Plex Adds it then delete it , After waiting for a while there is only one Folder left named “TVShows” same as the root folder name. It contains some like 700-800 episodes all that files that are in Folder all in same.

Your folder structure is not correct:

  • You have no Season n subfolders.
  • You have a subfolder for each individual episode

Your Plex tv show library must point to /mnt/HD/HD_a2 on the NAS
or to I:\TVShows on Windows.
Not one folder level above nor below!

preparation:

Go to

  • Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB

In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under

  • Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
  • Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase

the full story

  1. Look up your show on TheTVDB
  2. Take the title as it is used on TheTVDB. If there is something in parentheses, take that too. If the title contains invalid characters (depends on your file system), like § : % *, simply leave them out.
  3. Check the naming and the folder structure of your show. Name the top folder of the show exactly after the title on TheTVDB. No abbreviations. No additional subfolders. No aliases. Add the (year) in parentheses of when episode 1 of season 1 of this show was aired.
  4. Name the episode files according to the above linked naming guide. Use the same title as for the top folder. Show's Title (year) - s01e01 - additional info.ext (’- additional info’ can be left out)
  5. After you corrected the naming and folder structure, perform the Plex Dance with all files for this show.

e.g.

I:\TVShows <-- library points here alone
   \2 Broke Girls (2011)
      \Season 01
         2.broke.girls.s01e01.720p.bluray.x264-psychd.mkv
         2.broke.girls.s01e02.720p.bluray.x264-psychd.mkv
         2.broke.girls.s01e03.720p.bluray.x264-psychd.mkv
         ...

Thanks for the response , I will do that

But there is one small issue . I will not be able to seed it as season torrent . Is there any way to achieve that both Seeding folder structure and Plex .

No. That won’t be possible.
…Unless you start creating symbolic links with e.g. Filebot and the amc script

But I cannot answer you any questions about this. Please refer to the Filebot forums.
