I always need to manually identify but Plex is picking them up fine

[Murvalous 0]

So for TV shows (movies seems fine) I always have to go and manually identify a TV show, I have checked on plex and thats detecting the shows automatically so I am not sure why Emby isnt, I have searched and nothing I find seems to identify the issue.

Im a complete beginner when it comes to the technical side of emby so any help is appreciated:)

Make sure you follow the naming conventions:

Emby Movie Naming : Emby

Can you post your folder structure?

Heres an example of a TV show that Emby couldnt identify and I had to manually do it:

Outer.Range.S01E04.HDR.2160p.WEB.H265-GLHF[rarbg]

And folders are set up by: "E:\incoming\TV Shows\Outer.Range.S01E04.HDR.2160p.WEB.H265-GLHF[rarbg]"

I think thats what you mean by folder structure right?

I would name it like this:

...\Outer Range (2022)\Season 1\S01E04.mkv

Honestly if I have to rename everything manually each time its going to put me off using emby, plex seems to pick up all these shows automatically, do you know why emby cant, I was hoping it might just be a setting to fix/tweak?

Sorry, I posted the wrong link, the mouse is faster than my eyes:

Emby TV Naming : Emby

Emby does not currently support this structure.  Every Show/Series currently must have their own folder.
