If i try to add a file under tv shows and under manage library then edit add it to the media folder it does not get added to tv shows. I checked the permission looks like everything is correct i’m at a lose.

With DSM 7,

  1. Username is (System Internal User) PlexMediaServer
    – “Apply to this folder, subfolder, and files” is important

  2. Does the file show if you manually scan?

I check the permission and everytime i check folder subfolder and files i save it and nothing happens. I go back into permission plexmedia server it is unchecked!

This way?


Still not updating when i put a new folder under tv shows, i try to manual update but nothing.

Still no files showing up when added to library in plex. Anything else to try?

show me actual filenames and structure… as you have it

It was working just fine until i could not get a new file name to add under share raid.

Your structure is not correct.

Example how it should be.

I use a renaming tool to make everything perfect.
My DVD/BluRay ripping tool also names media this same way

So i add the a folder under my share raid then i go into plex and do managed library hit edit and browse media folder go my vol 1 click on share raid find that folder hit add then hit save changes but nothing happens. Nothing shows up under tv shows.

Every plays just fine just will not any more folders.

Looking at this, you are showing me you’ve loaded Buck Rodgers and have two seasons.

If you click into it, do you see two seasons?

If you click into “The Three Stooges”, do you see 8 seasons.

That looks great!

Is anything not displaying / updating correctly ?

Yes i tried different files like stargate atlantis and others just wont put it into tv shows by title.

Yes i do and the play just fine.
