That is very poor naming for Plex:

Try something more like:

TV Shows <- The TV library points here

_______ShowName (year)

____________Season 01

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e01 - Optional Name.ext

__________________ShowName (year) - s01e02 - Optional Name.ext

__________________and so on for the shows in season 01

____________Season 02 <- just like Season 01

____________Season 03 <- and so on for each season

____________Season 00 <- or “Specials”

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e01 - Optional name

__________________ShowName (year) - s00e02 - Optional name

__________________and so on for each special

Note 1: the eXX part of the specials must match EXACTLY what is found in TheTVDB

Note 2: The (year) may be omitted for shows that do not have more than one occurrence throughout the years.

There are many other structures and naming systems that work but this is the one I use and it just works.

For a mass rename I use FileBot with this format string:
{n.replaceTrailingBrackets()} - {s00e00.lower()} - {t}

There are no items in Library,plex tells me even after renaming
