Have a look at the media preparation guides. If these are followed most issues will be resolved.

Is that a Film or a TV Show?  
Based on your example I wouldn’t expect plex to find it as it doesn’t look to follow any of the media preparation guides I linked previously.

hmm, you are right  
so how should it looks like this Serie?  
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once\_Upon\_a\_Time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time)…\_Man  
26 short film

and why sometimes it works just without naming something?

as the guide states, TV Shows should always follow what is show on [thetvdb.com](http://thetvdb.com) website

For that show see: [http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=79849&lid=7](http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=79849&lid=7)
