Plex removed one season of Breaking Bad

Edit: Also, Season 01, not Breaking Bad (2008) Season 1.

FYI, you might be able to rename, etc without moving the files out of the library. Give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you can then Plex Dance the entire show.


Rename your files to align with the Plex recommended naming structure, then Plex Dance the entire series.

The Plex Dance is important, as it removes bad matching information from the Plex database.

You can perform the operation in steps if you wish.

  • Move the entire show out of the library, where it cannot be seen by the Plex scanners.

  • Perform Plex Dance steps 2, 3, & 4. This clears the info from the Plex database.

  • Rename & reorganize just Season 1 to align with the Plex docs.

  • Return just season 1 to the TV show library.

  • Let Plex scan it, pull metadata, etc.

  • Make sure everything works OK, then proceed with season 2, etc.
