TV Shows - After adding a new series on my NAS, Plex is not bringing it in when I scan library in Pl

@bubbascant

let’s call it Mad Men, and I have Seasons 1 and 2 to burn (I have others but just for demonstration), I would name it "Mad Men (2015) - and then find the tvdb number for the particular season, or just the show itself? And would the series still show up nicely in Plex (without all the name of the tvdb for example?)

First to get the TVDB ID look up the series: Mad Men - TheTVDB.com which shows an ID of 80337 which means the show folder is: Mad Men (2015) {tvdb-80337} and the first episode would look like: TV Shows\Mad Men (2015) {tvdb-80337}\Season 01\Mad Men - S01E01 - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.mkv

Edit and no the Plex Dance is not just a library scan, please see the yellow linked article, it has several steps involved and must be followed exactly.
