When we check the 'keep itunes media folder organized' box, what's the default filenames that itunes set up for TV Shows and Movies? I found that for music it's like <Media Folder>/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>, but for TV Shows it's only the episode title that will become the filename in Windows, no # for season or episode? And what about movies?
TV Shows:
<Media Folder>/TV Shows/<Series Name>/Season <Season #>/<Episode ##> <Episode Name>.<Ext>
Movies:
<Media Folder>/Movies/<Movie Name>/<Movie Name>.<Ext>
With modern libraries music items should also be in a Music subfolder within the main media folder. Use File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange Files to upgrade to the modern layout.

Have you completed each of season number, episode number, and the episode ID which is normally of the form s#e## ? In some cases iTunes may not automatically update the path, in which case try turning keep organized off and then back on again. Note that only files stored inside the designated media folder will be updated.

Thanks for the reply. Well, then i have one issue, can you help me? My TV Shows files are named only with the episode title name, no number is being showed. I've put the correct numbers on the 'TV Show info' windows, don't know what's happening.
Yes, and they are inside the designated media folder (i've add then through the automatically add to itunes folder). It's not like itunes it's not updating the path, if I change the episode name the filename also changes. The only thing that it's not showing on filename is the episode number. It's kind of annoying when I look at the folder on Windows and try to select a specific episode without knowing the number.
Also made UpdateVideoDetails which copies over both season and episode numbers into disc and track number respectively.

Thank you tt2, I tried modifying the track info on a tag editor and worked perfectly 🙂
You're welcome. 🙂

Ah, had to go and test this to check because I manage my media folder manually. You need to set the disc and track numbers to match the season and episode numbers, however it looks like setting track numbers might be tricky if they are currently blank. I've added a script called CopyEpisodeNoTrackNo to my scripts page to ease the pain.
