It seems that the issues in here about this topic are all solved by “rename your files”. My videos are not TV shows and even artificially giving them S01E01 does not help plex find them when it scans the folder. Here is a screenshot of the files: https://i.imgur.com/CKZMu83.png Plex finds only the …

Plex has no metadata sources for sport events. Therefore you can only use a video library of the type ‘Other Videos’ for your sports videos. Don’t try to mix them in with your movies or tv series. Put them into a separate folder and direct the ‘Other videos’ library to this folder. https://suppo…
