Seasons of TV Show Not Syncing

Thanks for the screenshots.

The season folders are the problem. They should be Season 01, Season 02, etc. Do not include the show name.

The episode names look fine. Below, I show adding the year to the episode name, but Plex will work without it. You should add the show year to the main show folder if it is not present.


Name and organize your files per Plex requirements.

Then Plex Dance the entire series.

/TV Shows <-- Folder added to TV Show library.  Exact name unimportant.
../Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013) {tvdb-269586} <-- ShowName (year), ID optional.
..../Season 01 <-- "Season" in English, two digits for number
....../Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013) s01e01.ext <-- sXXeYY format mandatory; ext=mkv/mp4/etc.

If you need to rename many files:

Many people use Filebot. It is quite powerful and can rename an entire library in minutes.

Tiny Media Manager is also very useful, and free.

TMM Renamer Patterns:

  • Show Name: ${showTitle} (${showYear})
  • Season: Season ${seasonNr2}
  • Episode Name: ${showTitle} (${showYear}) s${seasonNr2}e${episodeNr2} ${episode.title}
  • Movie Name: ${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}}

PowerRenamer in Microsoft Power Tools is helpful for simple renaming with pattern matches or regular expressions. It makes quick work of tasks such as adding a year to file names, removing undesirable text from multiple files, etc. Simple example: Rip a TV show with MakeMKV and all the episodes have _tXX at the end. You can remove it from all episodes in just a few seconds.
