I’ve been on Plex site and I swear I try to load series like Band of Brothers and It will not find on the SSD when you do update? No problem with the other 1400 movies finding and categorizing automatically and efficiently using Plex. But as soon as I do any tv series it gets stupid and does not see it on the drive or in any of its folders?
What am I doing wrong?
Plex Documentation → Your Media
→ Naming & Organizing Your TV Show Files
→ Naming & Organizing Your Movie Files
See Why is some of my content not found?
This usually comes down to naming and organization. Make sure you follow Plex’s requirements.
You may need to Plex Dance the movie or show after renaming / reorganizing.
Example:
\TV Shows <-- TV Library points here. Name does not matter.
..\Band of Brothers (2001) <-- show_name (year)
....\Season 01 <-- "Season" in English
......\Band of Brothers (2001) s01e01.ext <-- ext = mkv/mp4/etc
......\Band of Brothers (2001) s01e02 Day of Days.ext
......\Band of Brothers (2001) s01e02 Day of Days.eng.srt
....\Season 02
......\Band of Brothers (2001) s02e01.ext <-- sXXeYY important.
......\Band of Brothers (2001) s02e02.ext
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

So it sounds like you definitely have a Movies library. Did you create a TV Shows Library? Series cannot go in the Movie Library, they won’t be detected.
