Hi all.

I have just set up my media server on my iMac. Movies have been added successfully but when I try and add the tv shows library, I select the destination folder but Plex tells me my changes could not be saved.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I previously had Plex on a PC and rather than migrate the server, I just deleted and started again. When it was on my PC, all movies and tv shows were in the same folder on an external HDD as they are now and Plex automatically split out the movies and TV shoes into the 2 libraries. This does not seem to be the case here.

I have tried creating a sub folder for tv shows on the HDD and it still cannot save the changes.

Please help, I am at a loss.

thank you.

Delete that created Library, then you will need to separate your Movies and TV Titles in your storage Directory.  
Restart your Server, then after fixing your Collection Storage directory create a TV Library and a Movie Library.

It also best to have your titles in Folders
