Boy, I am not doing something right. I am trying to a very simple test. Here is my DS1817 Volume1 folder structure starting at Media. I only placed a few tv shows (movies .m4v) into each season for now.
And here is how I created my library and associated folders….
But here are the results….
I have gone back to the DS and made sure that the Parent folder ‘Media’ has given permissions to all users and that those permissions are applyed to that folder and all sub-folders and files.
no, you do not add each individual shows or seasons.
your tv library path should be:
/volume1/Media/Television
also, your filenames still are not technically correct
MASH - S01E01 - pilot.m4v
And that is why you are using FileBot to rename them correctly. I bought and downloaded it to my Mac and placed a few movies in there and they selected the renames, but when I went to save them into a folder, it said that FileBot did NOT have permission. Do I have to add FileBot as a user to the DS1817 and give it permissions just like the rest?
sorry I dont know anything about filebot.
if the filebot is running on the nas, then yes it probably needs permissions.
if the filebot is running on your mac, then it should be using the permissions that your mac is connected with.
just for testing, just manually change the first episode to my example above, and edit your tv library path so it shows only as I put above.
my tv dvr library (separate from movie dvr library)
my mash path as stored by plex dvr
Actually, I did use FileBot to rename them and followed instructions from FileBot to allow permissions and it did find the 4 episodes. Now trying to do the rest of the season
For me, MASH looks like this but only because I use . as the delimiter.
[chuck@lizum tv3]$ ls -R1 MASH
MASH:

'Season 04/'
'Season 05/'

'Season 08/'
'Season 09/'
'Season 10/'
'Season 11/'
'MASH/Season 01':

`MASH.S01E24.Showtime.mkv`
Mine look like this, but the movies are running and found.
sounds like its working then?
I suggest you try to be more careful about calling all media ‘movies’.
Movies and tvs shows are not the same thing, so when you refer to tv shows as movies, it becomes confusing about what you are actually trying to talk about.
movies
tv shows
episodes
home movies, or personal movies (like from a video camera, not hollywood movies)
porn
music
these are all different types of content, and the specific type and the file organization matters.
Thank you all your help and everyone that has help me along the way. I may NOT be done, but I am heading in the right direction
PMS is a lot to take in.
Learning how to “drive” the NAS is an art unto itself! 
Take your time. Everything can easily be moved around without losing information on the Syno.
(we can reorganize it easily) if you want to make changes.
I hate to bother you, but something has happened.
I was in the process of trying to enable remote access and now I can’t even get on it. I checked the packages on the DS and it says that Plex is running.
But I am getting this when I try to get into the Server….
I rebooted my router and now it is running.
