:wink:

Naming should be like this:

TV Shows   <- the folder linked by your Plex tv show library
  Warrior Nun
    Season 01
      Warrior Nun - s01e01 - Psalm 465.mkv
      Warrior Nun - s01e02 - Proverbs 3125.mkv
      Warrior Nun - s01e03.mkv   <- the episode names are not really necessary for Plex to pick the files up
      Warrior Nun - s01e04.mkv
      ...
      Warrior Nun - s01e10 - Revelation 210.mkv

As Plex is already ā€œawareā€ of those files and has cached some fingerprint you might need to perform a ā€œPlex Danceā€ for the fixed file names to take effect:

  1. move the files outside the folder of monitored by Plex
    in Finder
  2. scan library files
    from the Plex library context menu: ... > Scan Library Files
  3. empty trash
    from the Plex library context menu: ... > Manage Library > Empty Trash
  4. Clean bundles
    from the Plex Settings: Settings > [Server Name] > Manage > Troubleshooting > Clean Bundles
  5. return the files with their fixed names/organization
    in Finder
  6. scan library files
