Here’s how PMS expects things:

Any Share Folder You want/
    Series Name/
       Season N/   (1,2,3, etc --or--   01, 02, 03 --- 10, .. whatever)
            Series Name - SxxExx - Optional Title.ext

    Another Series/
        Season 01/
            Another Series - S01E01 - Pilot.mkv

How it works:

  1. This folder is where I put my TV Series. I can have as many as I want.

  2. In each Series folder, I put each series, structured as I show above

  3. We then create a library section
    – of type TV Shows
    – Give it the path to “Any Shared Folder” – (e.g “/volume1/Any Shared Folder”)
    – Change any of the options you’d like
    – OK it and let it start

  4. If you find it’s not seeing your media -AND- it’s named as it should :point_up:
    – Control Panel
    – Shared Folder
    – EDIT the shared folder containing the media
    – If “PlexMediaServer” isn’t on the list of users with permission, you’ll need add it.

There is a whole FAQ here with tips and ways to do things. Don’t hesitate to help yourself to it.
