Hi everyone I got the formatting down perfectly with filebot, however, the tv show only shows the album artwork with a number 10 on the top left indicating it has 10 files (10 episodes). When I play the show it plays it from beginning… is there a way to display the individual episodes like how you see on netflix so I can choose from there?
Without knowing a little more information, here’s my best guess…
If Plex web shows an image like this (number on the left):
it means that Plex thinks you have multiple copies of the same file. In the example above there are two versions of the same episode, one in HD and one in SD, and Plex or the user will choose the version to play.
If that’s what you are seeing Plex will only play one of what it thinks are 10 copies of the same file.
If Plex has an image like this (number on the right):
it means there are 9 un-watched episodes, and when you click on the picture it should bring you to an episode list to choose.
And all of that leads me to think you may not have filebot naming your files correctly, and/or you may have your TV shows in a movie library. You can’t mix and match.movies and TV shows. Give some actual examples and I’m sure some one will help.

Ah yes that’s what I was missing, had the TV shows under the movies library once I made a separate one I was good to go. Thanks a lot!
