TV shows not showing up in the library

I have some tv shows that show up in the library but others don’t. They are the same format so is there a reason for this?

Without more info no one can say.

We need your structure and naming for episodes that do not show up.

This is the general format you should be using:

TV Shows <— The library points here
---------TV Show Name (Year first aired if needed) <— This folder holds the season folders
------------------Season 01 <— This folder holds all the episodes for season 01
-------------------------ShowName - s01e01 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------ShowName - s01e02 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------And so on for the rest of season 01
------------------Season 02 <— This folder holds all the episodes for season 02
-------------------------ShowName - s02e01 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------ShowName - s02e02 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------And so on for the rest of season 02
------------------Season 03 <— This folder holds all the episodes for season 03
-------------------------ShowName - s03e01 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------ShowName - s03e02 - Episode Name.ext
-------------------------And so on for the rest of season 03

Note: The year after the show name is only normally needed or desired if there is more that one show with exactly the same name. Check http://thetvdb.com/ if you are not sure and match exactly the name used there.

There are naming methods other than the above that work but this does work 99.9% of the time.
If you are going to use Plex it is best to use the proper naming conventions so Plex makes the best match possible. Trying to force Plex to use other naming methods is just asking for frustration.

I was having the same problem with some shows showing up and others not showing up even in the same folder. My file structure was the same as the one shown above. The way I was able to fix the problem was to rename the affected file folder to something different, for example “Season 01” to Season 1" then refresh, Then named it back to "Season 01. After doing this to each of the file folders that contained files not showing in plex every show in my library started showing up.

Hope this helps for you as well.
