We didn’t. You just simply didn’t follow the naming std!

You didn’t!

We linked you towards the naming std. several times, yet you still hasn’t tried to add the relevant id!

As for a movie, in a movie library, we recommend for `The 33` a folder name as:  
`The 33 (2015) {imdb-tt2006295}`  
and with the actual media below that named as:  
`The 33 (2015) {imdb-tt2006295} [Maybe some extra info for you, that we ignore].ext`

Also note, that when renaming files, you should do a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) on the media

I can only recommend [https://www.filebot.net/](https://www.filebot.net/)

But we do!  
Consider the fact, that of all the users we have, only a fraction (As in numbers below 10 as far on the forums) are faced with a problem here, and one thing in common is, that they did not follow the naming standard!
