Trying to add Show - Not appearing/matching

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156-f737b826c
Player Version#:4.152.0

I am trying to add the Conan (2010) talk show to my Plex account and whenever I add the directory, which is hosting the show, it is adding these episodes under Late Night with Conan O’Brien seasons that I already have. It also won’t allow me to Fix Match any of the episodes/seasons.

File sample name - Conan - S01E01 - [2010-11-08] - Baa Baa Blackmail.mkv

I have tried to rename the file in all different ways without any luck of the show getting added properly.

Examples of naming standards that I’ve tried -
Conan - S01E01 - Baa Baa Blackmail.mkv
Conan (2010) - S01E01 - Baa Baa Blackmail.mkv
Conan - 1x01 - Baa Baa Blackmail.mkv
Conan (2010) - 1x01 - Baa Baa Blackmail.mkv

I have tried using the plexmatch file as well but that does not appear to work either.

Would anyone have any ideas on how to add these properly?

Thanks in advance!

  1. Make sure you follow Plex naming requirements.
  2. Plex Dance the show after any renaming/reorganization.

This matches immediately on my server:

  • Default Library Scanner, Plex TV Series, and Agent, Plex Series.
  • Either TMDB (Aired) or TVDB (Aired) episode ordering.
/tv <-- folder added to tv show library
../Conan (2010) <-- show_name (year)
..../Season 01
...../Conan (2010) s01e01.mkv <-- Use sXXeYY, not 1x01
