Naming for Plex using TVDB

I'm trying to use Filebot to rename files for Plex. Plex asks for S01E01 format. When I enter a file and use Filebot I get this format.

See Screenshot 01: https://imgur.com/a/UwVTyv1
Screenshot

1930x01 followed by title. This is what I get when I go to Fetch Data and click on Go To TVDB. When I actually go to TVDB the format shown is S1930E01. Any reason that this is happening?
I'm new at this. I believe I created the file needed when requesting help. They are zips. But I don't know how to attach them to this post. And I'm also afraid I might have attached the images incorrectly. Please let me know

Thank you.

David

:arrow: You'll want to configure FileBot for Plex as shown in the Getting Started video tutorials:




:idea: This entails setting {plex.id} as naming scheme, which changes the naming scheme to what Plex wants, file naming, folder naming, etc, the whole shebang.

:idea: Make sure to click on the configure FileBot for Plex link if you have not done so already since there's a lot of things you may want to consider when configuring things for Plex, some specific to FileBot and some not so much but still relevant as these things come up now and again.
