I have just added the show Frasier and the filenames are all correct example
Frasier.S01E01.The Good Son.mp4
However, Plex shows them all like
EU_109579.Title1
etc. Why does it do this? Does it read some original tags from within the mp4?
ps. it still shows the correct synopsis etc.
These titles are embedded in your files. You can âthankâ your ripper/encoder software for this.
Go to
In there, grab the line âLocal Media Assetsâ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under
Afterwards, âRefresh Metadataâ of the whole show.
Thanks. Got it sorted
On a similar issue, I have a large collection of Looney Tunes episodes named by year as season, like âS1935E01 - Name of episodeâ
They are not actually TV shows, but kind of movies. I have another collection âLooney tunes platinum collectionâ that I put in movies. But I would like this as a TV show with season years. How can I force it to display the names in the filenames?
Now it shows just âEpisode 1â âEpisode 2â etcâŠ
Thatâs not possible in tv shows.
Looney Tunes is a tv show: Looney Tunes - TheTVDB.com
You mean the âbig fileâ with all the episodes within?
Aha wow. Cool. It just had some trouble finding it, because it thought it was âNew looney tunesâ from 2019. I will check again
No, separate but all with just the name of the episode, no number of any kind, that one only worked in Plex when I put it under movies.
Episode names still dont show up, but itâs not a huge deal if they wont. I canât match the show with Looney Tunes 1929, that doesnt get found by Plex from TVDB. Only some newer Looney Tunes
WhewâŠ
Iâm doing Looneys right now and theyâre tough. The episodes on disc are all over the place. I have to employ Filebot and it still takes a hand edit.
First is the pre-name:
looney tunes - episode name
(maddening is the spelling - as it must be exact)
Filebot will then find the episode.
Itâs actually not much faster than playing the first seconds, extrapolating the year from the copyright notice, going to the season after that (mostly) at TVDB, finding the episode and naming the thingâŠ
Once done, itâs nice⊠(weâll never be done I think):
BTW:
You WILL get âThe Merry Go Round Broke Downâ song stuck in your head.
Faith No More is the only thing Iâve found to counteract it.
Thanks mate 
I filebotted it, first I thought no change, but the next day I noticed it said 1929 and not 2019, and peeked inside to see the whole beautiful collection with names and all!
