Oh, and as far as this goes…
“If there’s no metadata, there’s no listing.”
Again, what imbecile thought it was a good idea to fetch ONLY metadata? Surely this media server software, as it is so over-hyped to be, SHOULD be able to find file names, no??? If not, then it is undeserving of being called media server software.
@Liestenn is correct here. Filenames mean nothing if the whole series wasn’t matched.try to match it with that tv show, This Is Us.
EDIT: More on that.
But it doesn’t deviate from the naming convention. Each file has the season# and episode#. That’s all you need.
I’ve seen this a lot. Many people seem to think the entire show is somehow tied to the title name of the episodes. They are not.
Plex does not base entire series on a single episode name or a collection of episode names. The series is based solely on the folder name it finds.
Plex does not base episodes on the title wording. The episodes is solely based on the numbering you give the…
The only thing Plex needs from a show is season# and episode#
Here is one example I gave many moons ago to show how lenient Plex can be.
