Scans and refreshes are considered different things in Plex and it is useful to know which is which. Follow this formatting exactly and your media should always show up. This page on the Plex website describes exactly how to name your movies, TV shows, music and anything else you want to add to your server.

If media isn’t showing up this is usually the first thing to check. While it can work with media that doesn’t conform to these conventions, it isn’t guaranteed. Plex is very picky about naming conventions. But what if you have added content to the correct library folder on your computer, performed a scan and it doesn’t show up? Most often this is down to incorrect formatting. You perform these scans and refresh steps in Plex to have media and its metadata populate so you can watch your content. Check the box next to Update my library periodically.You can set this to scan at set times between 15 minutes and 24 hours. You have a third option should you want it. Check the box next to Update my library automatically.Select the Server tab and Library on the left.
