Plex not updating TV shows or movies. I looked at the permissions every thing is good. I can add for episodes in existing folders but if i try to add a new tv show it will not update. THis only happened when i updated plex. Anything i can try to fix this besides deleting plex and starting over?

Your file naming and organization is horrible.

My canned response is to see https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ and:

If you want to save yourself a lot of time I would recommend using archive.tinymediamanager.org and use:

Episode format:
${showTitle} - S${seasonNr2}E${episodeNr2} - ${title}

Folder format:
${showTitle} (${showYear}) {tvdb-${tvShow.ids.tvdb}}/Season ${seasonNr2}

as the new name format.
(Please note I linked to the v3 which is free to use)

My FileBot renaming rules to make this all perfect (and effortless)

Episode rule: /glock/media/tv2/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

{n} = show name
{s} = season … .pad(2) zero-pads to 2 digits
{t} = episode title
{s00e00} = episode identifier (season XX , episode YY)
