I have put my 24 Live Another Day in a folder under the TV. The actual title has a colon after the 24, but of course you can’t include one as part of a lie name. So I named it 24 Live Another Day (2014) but the scan never picks it up. How do I solve this as others show’s, including the original 24 pick up their data.
You must name your files as explained in this article:
That is just season 9 needs to me named like mentioned above
with the new Plex TV Series agent you can name seasons if you want (if avail it will get automatically)
[I accidentally deleted my previous post because I’m a dummy.]
It’s not a different show. It’s just 24, Season 9.
So:
.../TV Shows/24/Season 9/24 - S09E01.ext
.../TV Shows/24/Season 9/24 - S09E02.ext
@BigWheel, do you have to use The Movie Database as the Episode Ordering source to get Season Titles?
oh yeah, afaik you do. But you can always add them manually
But it is not a season 9 of the original 24. Even when you look at IMDB, it shows 24 as 8 seasons and 24 Live Another Day as a separate show. So I’m confused.
As I said in the original post I have followed the naming conventions by having it in a folder under the TV folder called 24 Live Another Day (2014) and then a sub folder called Season 1 with the episodes in it.
Plex does not get metadata from IMDB. it gets them from theTVDB or TheMovieDatabase both of which have it as season 9.
It doesn’t matter what I think or you think or any of us think. 
And Plex doesn’t pull season/episode info from IMDB.
What matters is what TVDB and The Movie Database say.
Hah! Yes. What he said.
Oh. I guess I’m going back to my old XBMC days where it pulled for there. Now I understand. Thanks.
