I’m having a serious problem with plex incorrectly naming tv shows. No matter what name I give the show it changes the name to Aqua Team Hunger Force. Never ever watched that show and never even heard of that show.
Here is the correct name: Battlestar Galactica 1978 SXXEPXX.
Anyway to fix this plex error.
BTW, Movies it names okay, it just isn’t working for TV shows.

Naming is not SxxEPxx but SxxExx

My files on my sever are named correctly. See image)
When i scan the folder the episodes are named episode 1, episode 2, etc instead of the correct tile and description.
Suggestions?
Try adding the Series title, e.g.
The X-Files - s01e01 - Pilot.avi
At least that’s how I have named mine
Go into your tv show library properties. https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200289266-Editing-Libraries
Which path is set under the ‘Add Folders’ tab?
If it is only Multimedia/TV Shows, then this won’t work.
You must add in there each of your ‘index letter’ sunfolders individually
e.g. Multimedia/TV Shows/R - Z
It helps to add the release year of s01e01 in parentheses to the show folder name, in this case Multimedia/TV Shows/R - Z/The X-Files (1993)
Afterwards, perform the Plex Dance to clear out any mismatches from the Plex database.
