Hi, I can’t get the option ( Match ) to fix the TV Shows Metadata what’s so ever. ![23%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/f/5fe56e892ecc487cb610ff3593921b67f11698e0.jpeg) The shows is like this TV Shows \> Kingdom \> Season 1 \> Kingdom.2019.S01E01.Episode.1.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DD5.1.x264-MZABI \> Kingdom.2019.S01E01.Episode.1.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DD5.1.x264-MZABI.mkv it only stuck with wrong show Kingdom 2014 ( [https://www.thetvdb.com/series/kingdom-2014](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/kingdom-2014) ) where it should display Kingdom 2019 ( [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6611916/?ref\_=fn\_al\_tt\_1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6611916/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) ) any suggestion ? ---

usually all shows names I download are similar to this and sometimes at least I get option to fix it but now no such thing … the requirement naming is somehow applied here shows name and year and season Kingdom.2019.S01E01.Episode.1.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DD5.1.x264-MZABI ---

When there are multiple version (years) of a TV series, its always best to include the year in the top folder, so there’s a better chance of a match. It also looks like you have a subfolder for the episode itself. Plex probably won’t work that way. Proper naming would be something like this Kingdom (2019) … Season 01 … … Kingdom (2019) S01E01.mkv It’s usually best to use the title the way the TVDB displays it. I noticed this series just has “Kingdom” for the 2019 series. So, it might work with just the title ---

OK, so you didn’t rename your files to Plex’s recommended format. There are so many things in your format that will throw out the scanner; full stops rather than spaces, year not in parenthesis, random tracker/group/quality information at the end. I don’t know what to tell you, follow the guidelines laid out by Plex and you will have far less headaches like this. ---

That format is still not correct, [leelynds](https://forums.plex.tv/u/leelynds) gave you the correct naming schema for this show. Best bet is to look up the show on [www.thetvdb.com](http://www.thetvdb.com) and name it exactly how it is on there. ---

You are using one subfolder per-episode. That is not needed. ---

> [@alseyda](#): > > shall I ? Definitely. You should also make a habit to insert `space dash space` after the tv show title. e.g. `Kingdom (2019) - s01e01.mkv` [Filebot](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-naming-schemes-for-filebot/121538/1 "Filebot") allows you to do all that relatively quick and painless. ---

Is your tv show library pointed exactly at the folder `TV Shows`? [Edit your library](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289266-editing-libraries/ "Edit your library"), go to the ‘Add Folders’ tab to find out. Does the tv show not show up at all or does it use no metadata or does it use metadata of a different tv show? * * * side note: Your subtitle files need to be named exactly like the video files – apart from the extension `.ara.srt` at the end, of course. ---
