TV "Special" not showing up

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hello all

First post so be gentle :slight_smile:

I was wondering if anyone may be able to help.

I have this Special TV show:

http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=70709&lid=7

Victoria Wood - Live in your own home.

I can’t get Plex to pick this up.

The file structures I have tried are:

\TV Shows\Victoria Wood\Season 00
\TV Shows\Victoria Wood\Specials\

And placed the file within that. I’ve renamed the actual file until I am blue in the face but no go. I used Filebot which picks it up fine from The TVBD and renames it as this file:

Victoria Wood - 1xSpecial 1 - Victoria Wood Live in Your Own Home

I’ve tried various amendments myself but still Plex doesn’t see it.

I’ve copied the directory off my NAS, emptied trash, optimised database and copied back again. No go.

I’d really appreciate any pointers. Latest Plex server installed on a DS216 Play.

Thanks very much :slight_smile:

Best

Jamie

Also the same with:

http://thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=232491&lid=7

Acorn Antiques

Filebot has picked it up as

Victoria Woods’ Acorn Antiques Omnibus Edition - 0xSpecial 1 - Complete Series

But again Plex won’t see it. Hosting directory is:

TV Shows\Victoria Woods’ Acorn Antiques Omnibus Edition\

First, welcome the Plex forums :slight_smile:

Your folder and file naming is almost there
Try:

/TV Shows /Victoria Wood /Specials /Victoria Wood - S00E01 - Optional Episode Title.ext /Season 01 /Victoria Wood - S01E01 - Optional Episode Title.ext

Also when using filebot reference this post:

@Magictorch1976 Ahh the late Victoria Wood… Amazing lady… I guess you’re a fan of Pat and Margaret too :slight_smile:

Can’t believe she is no longer with us. A talented lady and good old British humour :slight_smile:

Sorry to bump an old thread.

I’m having the same problem but the accepted answer doesn’t seem to work anymore.

I noticed that Live in Your Own Home and Acorn Antiques no longer appear in the tvdb anymore and only show up in the moviedb.

What was the path structure I needed to use?

you could re-match the show and change the agent to “The Movie Database” if the episodes/specials you’re looking for are listed there but not in TheTVDB.com
