Sorry I don’t have the answer, but I do have a similar issue. I am using the same server version as you and when I just put three new shows into the program, it listed one correctly as “FBI - Most wanted” and another (FBI) as “FBI - Most wanted” season 4, and the other (The Great British Baking Sho…

@lockrob2000 it helps for us to know the exact folder structure you used and filenames so we can try to figure out why it would do that.

/Television/The Great British Bake Off/Season 12The Great British Bake Off/The Great British Bake Off.S12E08.Free-Form Week.mkv - that shows up as FBI - Most Wanted.S12E08 /Television/FBI/Season 4FBI/FBI.S04E06.Allegiance.mkv - that shows up as FBI - Most Wanted.S04E06

I have folders for Television, Photos, Movies and Music. The television show is set to a sub folder called “The Great British Bake Off” and under that there is a sub folder called “Seasion12” with the show inside that. Television - Folder name The Great British Bake Off - the show folder name Se…

which folder path do you have here. [Plex]

No, that is not correct, the folder is directly under the server and is called “Television” It is possible to re-direct it to a folder called “Media/Television” on the server… does that need to happen? I would have to do the same with all the other parent folders.
