MCEB-TV TV Show Library:

MCEB-TV folder is not part of another TV Show or Movie Library. The folder is unique. MCEB-TV is a folder off the root of my F:/ drive. No TV Show Folders are added to this TV Show Library. The pointer is aimed at MCEB-TV and nowhere else.

File Naming (renaming) and folder structuring (restructuring) is best done OUTSIDE the library - out of the view of Plex and you’re probably going to want to start a whole new bundle for these shows soooo…

The Plex Dance®:

  1. remove show/movie from library - all of them - all folders - all material for both of these shows.
  2. rescan library files
  3. empty trash
  4. clean bundles
    https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200392106-Library-Actions <— scan library files, empty trash, clean bundles
  5. bring names and structures into compliance/Fix Library Folder Pointer (if necessary)/etc
  6. replace corrected show/movie into library
  7. rescan library files

All Steps. In Order. No Shortcuts.

… and just for grins - TV Show Agents:

Still No Joy?
