I have had a devil of a time getting Plex to recognize file names. I wish I could just directly write things to its damn fucking database.

  Follow the naming standard: https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/ https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-... You can go to open subs and use those names alternatively, which follow the standard. Or just use jellyfin.

    I have also googled this, and this does not reliably work - especially for things that aren't TV shows, such as videos from YouTube channels or music videos.

      for that I dump them in an "other" library and it uses the file name title. though I mainly use it for my blu ray rips.
