TV show not showing up

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I have added a TV Show with 30 seasons , but two seasons dont show at all , witch is strange they are tagged the same way , and is the same file format as the rest. reading access is good. what more can it be ?

Thanks for answer

Server Version#: cant find the version no. but its the latest , just updated
Player Version#:

Mind sharing how you named/organized those files?
Any embedded metadata that might throw Plex off?

The TVshow - S06E01 - episodename

Good enough ?

strange thing that most of seasons under that tv show is organized the same way , they all work except for season 16 and 17…

The name on its own appears to be ok.
Are the episodes organized like this?

TV Shows    <- the folder linked to your tv-show library
  Show Name
    Season XX
      Show Name - sXXeYY - optional stuff, e.g. episode name.ext
      Show Name - sXXeYY.ext

Where XX is the season number, YY is the episode number and .ext is the file extension (e.g. .mp4, .mkv).

Given the files are in the same volume/share I suppose there should be no permission issue.
Are those mp4/m4v files with embedded metadata that could override the show name during matching (e.g. if you have prioritized the Local Media Assets over any online sources → see Settings > [Server Name] > Agents > ...).

Yes that is how it orgianzed , the file ends with .mkv more than i dont know about the format.

7

Are there any MP4 files with embedded Title information ?
(I do see you said you have MKV files)

PMS will read the internal title and, if it’s not clean, can often cause it not to match

This might be a case where you need to Bounce the entire series, Scan files, empty trash , clean bundles, then – when all that’s done, move it back and let it match fresh.

Sorry to ask , but can you give me step by step instructions ? i dont know do to what you just said

I moved the folder of season 16 out of the series , emtyed trash , rescanned , moved the folder back again , rescaned… wasn’t it that i was suposed to do ?

13

Do the entire show - after you name/structure/repair/fiddle…

Note above - Britannia is named WRONG in my example.
Britannia (2018) is NOT it’s name, is it?

If I were having trouble - I’d not argue with FileBot this time and let it create the actual file names at TVDB.

@JuiceWSA Your solution hit the nail on the head. I’m having a similar issue with my TV Library on a FreeNAS PMS. Could you please take a looking at my issue and give me your thoughts?

If you don’t have Season 06’s Episodes in Season 16’s folder - I doubt I can be of any assistance.

Good Luck…
