Plex not finding Doctor Who names

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I’ve just finished adding an episode of Doctor Who to my Plex server and it is not picking up the episode names. The path is

Doctor Who/Doctor Who (2005) - S03E14.mkv

I’m not sure why it’s not finding the episode info and I don’t see the normal “match” key to manually match it

Is there anything else to do? This worked fine when I added other shows

Check if you have got Doctor Who set to use DVD order instead of Aired order (Edit from the main show page, then select advanced and look for ordering)

If using aired order this episode is a special, S00E07 and S03E14 does not exist

Plex Documentation → Your Media → TV Show Files (Naming and Organizing)

If you’ve multiple versions of the show (original, 2005, etc):

  • Add (2005) to the show folder. This will help Plex differentiate it from the other versions.
  • Optional: Add the TMDB or TVDB ID to the folder name to assist in matching
  • Add a season folder.

Example:
/TV Shows/Doctor Who (2005)/Season 00/Doctor Who (2005) - s00e01.mkv
or
/TV Shows/Doctor Who (2005) {tvdb-78804}/Season 00/Doctor Who (2005) - s00e01.mkv
