My library is on this path Anime
Inside Anime, many folders, including Demon Slayer, which stores many mkv files.
In my Demon Slayer folder, there are a couple files in particular that is not being detected or recognised.
S04E08-The Mu in Muichiro.mkv
Demon.Slayer.Kimetsu.no.Yaiba.S04E04,mkv
Is there an online script site where we can put in the file name and see if Plex should be able to detect it? No issue for other files with similar or varied naming.
Plex Documentation → Your Media
→ Naming & Organizing TV Show Files
→ Naming & Organizing Movie Files
Follow Plex naming and organization requirements.
Plex Dance after renaming and reorganizing.
Example:
/Anime <-- Folder added to TV show library
../Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019) <-- show_name (intro_year)
..../Season 04 <-- "Season" in English
....../Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba s04e04 Thank You Tokito.mkv
....../Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba s04e08 The Mu in Muichiro.mkv
There are many tools that will assist with renaming/reorganizing your media files.
Many people use Filebot. It costs money, but will can rename your media very quickly (minutes).
The free version of Tiny Media Manager works for basic renaming.
TMM Renamer Patterns:
- Show Name:
${showTitle} (${showYear})
- Season:
Season ${seasonNr2}
- Episode Name:
${showTitle} (${showYear}) s${seasonNr2}e${episodeNr2} ${episode.title}
- Movie Name:
${title} (${year}) {imdb-${imdb}}
PowerRenamer in Microsoft Power Tools is helpful for simple renaming with pattern matches or regular expressions. It makes quick work of tasks such as adding a year to file names, removing undesirable text from multiple files, etc
Thanks. Did exactly what you said including the Plex Dance. No go.

Not sure why it is not matching. I get an immediate match on my server.
Which scanner / agent are you using (edit library → advanced)?
It should be Plex TV Series (the agent might be Plex Series instead of Plex TV Series).
Filter your library by episode instead of TV show and then look for duplicates
If you see any posters click the 3 dots and select “get info”
Thanks friends, I found out why, some issue on my os which caused me to point to the wrong folder from what the scanner was seeing. Apologies for the trouble and special thanks @FordGuy61 for the very detailed assistance and help in testing!
