Best video of how to name TV shows for Plex. Others are too long winded and take ages to get to the point. Well done ✅👍🏽. This was very helpful.

This was super helpful still in late 2023, thank you so much! I have so many series that I wanted to rip and add to my library but for the life of me I could never figure it out. 2 BIG thumbs up from me! 👍👍

Thanks! Was confused as to why TV Shows weren't displaying. This helped me fix it immediately!

Can't thank you enough for the tutorial.

do you have to do this for EACH tv show? you know, like with movies, we can just keep adding them without going through all the steps, and we can click on "movies" and see them all in one place. I added two different tv shows using this method but now have TWO tv tabs. anyway, to merge the content so it is all on one page?

I may be late to the game but just added parent folder of the GoT to my Plex server and Plex has populated all seasons correctly. Yet for any other show I tried, I had to specify individual directory for each season.

Plex is still not making my tv series files available. Any idea how to still get them to show? If I don't get poster art, etc I don't mind.

hi, i added Tv shows library in plex server... works fine in my pc. But the "Tv-shows" library is not showing in the Fire Tv. What could be wrong? How to solve it

How about episode 11, do I need to still start with the zero or not?

[davidsanderson]

I’m late to using Plex. My movies folder seems to work great. My TV Shows has never worked. I had hoped that I could add all episodes of all seasons in one step. Am I correct that I have to do one season at a time?

[eliosantillo]

Thank you
It took me a little to get it 😂
But it works beautifully 💪👍

Do you know how to add your own Theme music. I have a newer version of the streethawk Tv show i want plex to play instead of the old generic one. I just cant figure it out

[quinceymorris]
