That’s close, but not quite correct. Plex expects the season/episode information in the form SxxEyy. So, for your example, Series Title - S02E07 - Episode Name.mkv. To be even more specific, Plex expects the folder layout to be:

```auto
TV Shows\ <--- Library points here, name unimportant
     Series Title\
          Season XX\
               Series Title - SXXEYY - Episode Name.mkv

```

Your format may work to a point, but it will likely break eventually. That may be what you’re seeing here. Try naming the files/paths per [Plex’s guidelines](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) and try the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) again.

If that doesn’t help, please share your actual file names and folder paths in a screenshot.
