I have a few TV ministries I am trying to sort, and have tried under library type movies or tv sorting and neither work.  
Movie sorting sees empire falls as a different title.  
If I try it as a TV folder, it doesnt see it at all. It says the folder is empty.

Miniseries are supposed to be organized in tv show libraries. Make sure to name the files accordingly!

Sounds good.  
Did that accordingly.  
But I have at least 2 that are not showing .  
Empire falls 2 episodes, says it is nothing in folder, and does not show on the list.  
Stephen Kings IT, is combined and not split.

You may need to [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) the shows if you have renamed them and moved them between library types. The process clears bad matching information from the Plex database.

Please show how you have the files named and organized.

If the episodes are combined, use [Multiple Episodes in a Single File](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/#toc-4) naming.

Example:

```auto
../TV Shows <-- folder added to library
..../Stephen King's It (1990) {tvdb-113981} <-- Show_Name (year); ID optional
....../Season 01 <-- "Season" in English, two digits for number
......../Stephen King's It (1990) s01e01-e02.ext <-- Show_Name (year) sXXeYY-eZZ; ext = mkv/mp4/etc

```
