I'm not sure if this has been posted but i couldn't find anything when i searched. I don't like to rename some things by season and i was wondering if there was a way to keep all 300+ episodes of naruto shippuuden in one season folder and them stay together? When i browse they show up as separate season folders for every 100 episodes. I'm sure this is something to do with the naming. I'm new to plex so any info will help
The normal and strongly recommended organization structure puts each normal broadcast 'season' into it's own directory/folder.
Given the extensive size of this series for you, have you considered breaking it out into the 17 Seasons as shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto:_Shippuden_episodes
and http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=79824&lid=7
I realize it would be a daunting task manually. If you wish, there are tools to help with automatic the organization of it.

Awesome, Thank you both. Ill look into the third party scanners and if not ill start to break them down into the indevidual seasons.
Hello all, I have a similar issue, except that in my case, thetvdb actually lists seasons with over 100 episodes. http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=73887&seasonid=6606&lid=7
Plex only shows the first 100 episodes, even if I set it to unmatch, and then set search agent to "personal media shows," it still only shows a total of 100 episodes as opposed to 105! Since no "real" seasons show up in thetvdb, is there some way of forcing plex to show more than 100 episodes?
P.S., I have already split up my other anime into seasons for plex to do its normal thing with tvdb, I'd be extremely distressed to learn that all that resorting and renaming was for naught...
how are your files named. Do the recommended naming notation and it will work fine s01e105
Yes, I've followed the naming convention. Currently, my files are simply named, "Gatchaman s01epxxx.mkv" Still only 100 episodes show up in plex. I've even tried to change the view in Media manager to do a folder list - still the same thing! It's really weird!

SOLVED!! Did not expect this to work, but I carefully went through the naming convention again, and realized that the agent is specifically looking for "s" for season, and "e" for episode only! Using "ep" for episode resulted in episode 100 showing up as 0, and then 101 as a duplicate of 1, 102 a duplicate of 2, etc. Renaming all files to specifically sXXeYYY fixed the problem. Did not expect that.
above method from 2015 confirmed 2017-Jun-27, for a similar situation numbering Tom&Jerry (1940) cartoon series:
S _ _ E _ _ _ | SxxExxx
all episodes must be manually renamed to two-digit season and three-digit episode numbering
(fixes catalog system of “101” being web matched to “S01E01” rather than (what I wanted -->) “S01E101”)

That’s not right because according to TVDB there are no Tom and Jerry ‘Seasons’ with more than 100 episodes - not to mention your Seasons are wrong:
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=72860&seasonid=179681&lid=7
A TV Show Library/
…Tom and Jerry/
…Season 1940/
…Tom and Jerry - S1940E01 - Puss Gets the Boot.xxx
…through…
…Tom and Jerry - S1940E46 - Tennis Chumps.xxx
Episode names are optional making:
…Tom and Jerry - S1940E01.xxx
a valid file name.
Renaming SxxExxx solved the problem by 03-2019 confirmed.
Thanx mate. It also worked for me.
