Just moved to a new media server and the four episodes of The Stand no longer show up (but the main series does).

If I hit play it asks if I am trying to play an empty folder.  Files play fine with VLC.

I've tried several iterations:

TV/The Stand (1994)/The Stand (1994) Season 1/The Stand (1994) - s01e01

and 

TV/Stephen King's The Stand (1994)/Stephen King's The Stand (1994) Season 1/Stephen King's The Stand (1994) - s01e01

and

TV/Stephen King's The Stand /Stephen King's The Stand Season 1/Stephen King's the Stand - s01e01

 

And a few other iterations.  Any other suggestions?

Hi there, did you run a library scan after renaming the files?

Try just naming your season folder

Season 1

Please see if that helps.

I did rescan after each name change.  It picks up the parent folder (series) but doesn't see any of the individual files.

I just tried changing that to Season 1 with no change.

I have the stand (1994) with no issues.

it is named
Stand, The (1994) /Season 01/

S01E01 - The Plague
S01E02 - The Dreams
S01E03 - The Betrayal
S01E04 - The Stand

You might want to remove the files from your library, do a full scan, rename the files then add them back. 
Delete the NFOs before adding them back to make sure the new changes will be read and not just the old NFO data

If the above does not work.

Try this

The Stand (1994) [TvdbId=79866]/Season 01/The Stand - S01E01 - The Plague Bluray.mkv

Especially look at "MARKED IN RED" folder naming.

That will immensely recement TVDBID for better identification.

Can you show actual screen shot of folder structure.  As you say it is identified but just not showing episodes, correct?

Correct, the series is listed but no episodes.
