TV showing Merging in one

[manpreetkuk]

Hi, I got a library of more than 50 TV shows but once I save all of them at one location they somehow merge into 3 files only, example Game of thrones will show 19 season.
Please help. …

Plex Documentation → Your Media → Naming & Organizing Your TV Shows

Make sure you follow Plex naming and organization requirements.

Plex Dance the show after naming/reorganizing.

Example:

/TV Shows <-- folder added to tv show library
   /Game of Thrones (2011) <-- show_name (intro_year)
      /Season 01 <-- "Season" in English
         /Game of Thrones (2011) s01e01.ext <-- sXXeYY format required.
   /Downton Abbey (2010)
      /Season 01
         /Downton Abbey (2010) s01e01.ext  <-- ext = mkv/mp4/etc.

I have tried everything what ever is available on the net. But somehow if I transfer all the files on my other hdd. It appear according how I want. Any suggestions???

[FordGuy61]

Please show how you have the shows named and organized - directory listing including full path. Also which folder is added to the TV show library.

Hope this should help, As I mentioned if I move all the folders to my other hdd it shows all the files on the Plex TV shows. I don’t have any issue with movie database, its just the TV Shows are not showing properly. I am having this problem from last 2 months. and if you see in the folder the Shows says Aashram have 3 seasons in total but on Plex it shows 2 different folder combining 5 seasons.

Thanks for the info.

Your folder structure is definitely wrong. The path and file names are not visible, so cannot tell if they are correct or not.

Review the documentation and examples in my earlier post and reorganize accordingly.

1. Do not add /users/harry to a tv show library (2nd pic). That is incorrect.

2. Hindi (1st pic) is the correct folder to add to a TV show library. Whatever folder is above Hindi cannot be added to a Plex library. There cannot be any folders between the folder added to the library and the main show folders.
   
   If you have folders for language, genre, etc., add them this way:

/TV Shows  <-- not added to any library
   /Hindi <-- added to TV show folder
      /show_folder
   /English <-- added to TV show folder
      /show_folder

3. Your season folders are named incorrectly. Use Season 01, Season 02, etc., with “Season” in English.

4. You do not show the file names, but they must be named per Plex specifications.

5. After you rename and reorganize things, Plex Dance each show. This will remove incorrect matching information from the Plex database.

Here’s an example from my server.

• tv is the folder added to the TV show library.
• There are no directories between tv and the show folders.
• Naming and organization match Plex documentation.
