TV show (anime) doesn't show in plex server

Hi all.

I think I’ve tried most of the options. There is one Anime TV show that doesn’t show in mij server. I renamed the show to Plex standards. It came up for a second or 2, and then disappeared.
Sekirei is allready visible in the server, but Sekirei Pure Engagement is the problem case. Also tried a “-” between “Sekirei” and “Pure Engagement” without success.

Is there something I’m still doing wrong? All my other series show as they supposed to.

Enable your Windows Explorer to show file extensions.

Using MP4 Files?
Drag Local Media Assets to the bottom of all your Agent Lists for Shows and Movies. Embedded metadata in MP4 files will throw Plex into a tailspin.
Plexweb/Settings/Server/Agents

Your episodes are out of whack with their listings at TVDB.

Still no succes after your tips @JuiceWSA .

New screen shows extensions and comparison to thetvdb. It looked whack because of the difference in series. Sekirei has 2 seperate series. The standard Sekirei, and the Sekirei: Pure Engagement :wink:

Using MKV extensions for all my movies and TV shows. Strange thing is that the show popped up for a couple of seconds and then vanished.. Files a definetly still on the anime disk.

I’m managing my server remotely from my laptop through DNS. All media carriers (disks) are physicaly in my server, only mapped to my laptop for easy access :slight_smile:

Looks like there is some kind of a step forward now though..

When I bworse to Sekirei (on Plex server) it looks like there are double episodes available.

This goes for the season and the special.
Sekirei has 12 episodes + 1 special
Sekirei Pure Engagement has 13 episodes + 1 special

All is showing in Sekirei series.
Only thing left is to split into seperate shows.

“Sekirei Pure Engagement” is not a separate show.
It is simply Season 02 of “Sekirei”.

The custom to give later seasons a separate title or an addition to the original show’s title is ignored on TheTVDB.
If the “show” is a story continuation, it gets added as a later season into the original show.
And it makes sense, because you don’t want to watch “Pure Engagement” before watching “Sekirei”.

That’s true @OttoKerner.

Edited to Season 02. Now it’s visible, only no titles are displayed. But with that I can live :wink:

Thanks

Roger that. I assumed Sikerei would be the proper name, due to the fact that Pure Engagement has no artwork, posters or descriptions associated with it at TVDB leading me to believe the episodes were out of whack. They were - at least as far as TVDB is concerned.

Here’s where that old saying comes in:
“TVDB is always right - even when they’re not”.

Plex Dance that whole show now and all will be well (we hope). You have a little bogusity going on in that bundle that needs a re-do:

The Plex Dance®:

  1. remove show from library
  2. update library
  3. empty trash
  4. clean bundles
    https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200392106-Library-Actions <— update library, empty trash, clean bundles
  5. bring names and structures into compliance
  6. replace corrected show into library
  7. update library

All Steps. In Order. No Shortcuts.

Excellent news, but illustrating the lengths we’ll go to get things working right, I just Plex Danced Season 5 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 when I noticed 24 episodes, but Plex told me I only had 22, before I discovered I was missing episodes 11 and 12. Now my PMS is fully involved generating those video preview thumbs I torpedoed with a Plex Dance - and will be for some time.

DOOOOP!
