TV show episode names ignored

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files

I’m using Plex to collect and play some training video episodes that aren’t in TMDB.

I’m using this schema:
TV Shows
Training Videos
Season 01
Training Videos - s01e01 - unique episode title.mp4
Training Videos - s01e02 - another unique episode title.mp4
Training Videos - s01e03 - more uniqueness.mp4

But my episode name is ignored – they all show up as “Episode 1” and “Episode 2”, etc.

Is this because the “Training Videos” isn’t found in The Movie Database (TMDB) or TVDB?

Plex doesn’t read the episode titles from a file name. If you want to apply your own custom names, embed them as metadata tags in your mp4 files and make sure to set the library to prefer local metadata.

Thank you. I’ll use something like ffmpeg to set those titles.
