Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395 Player Version#: 4.125.1 [Plex Media Server Logs\_2024-05-12\_05-26-53.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/r9xF4kMVYIbGTztRhp1xuvNcIFR.zip) (5.8 MB) 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/](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](https://archive.tinymediamanager.org/v3.1/) 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) ---
