Specific TV show does not get added to EMBY

[GlenSaunders 1]

I have a recording of a specific TV show which is included in the TVDB and MOVIEDB databases but which doesn't get added into Emby. I have a number of other shows which do get added automatically in my TV Shows library. I can't see a way to do this manually which I'd be willing to do. What should I do?

Hi there, can you please provide a specific example? How are your files named and organized?

The TV show is the 6 episode BBC version of “The Day of the Triffids” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081850/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

I have my media files on an external hard drive which runs off my iMac in a folder called \media\TV shows. All other TV shows get picked up and play properly. 

Thanks

So how is the show concerned named and organised?

I have it in a folder called "The Day of the Triffids (1981)" with the files being the same with "s01e0x" on the end (I didn't bother with a season folder), and it works just fine.

Thank you. That worked. I shall look at the naming more carefully in future.
