I have a “Documentaries” folder in my Plex server. It’s set as a “movies” library, but I also have documentary series (that would technically fall under a “TV shows” category) that I would like to show up in this same library. I would prefer not to have to identify every episode in the series as a separate title. Is there any way to allow one library to recognize both documentary “movies” and “TV shows?”

I have had to break these into two different libraries. This has happened for three different types of things. Documentary films and TV shows, comedian concert films vs. tv series, music concert films vs. tv series about music. I think a good solution to this would be library grouping where you can gather up multiple libraries and display them as a single library.

This is unfortunately not possible.

Look no further.
Throw everything into an ‘Other Videos’ Library. Plex won’t try to match any of it. They’ll all show up stark-nekked without any hope of downloaded artwork or descriptions, but you can edit to your heart’s content adding local artwork and constructing your Plexiverse, by hand, from the ground up.
Sound like a PITA? Oh, yea - it surely must be.
I use the appropriate libraries, recommended naming and structuring and all is fine.
@JuiceWSA, stop it with your constant “follow the naming guides” drum beating. Just because that’s how Plex is designed to work doesn’t mean you need to remind others. How dare you, sir. How dare you.
When I was a child, Mom dropped me and broke my record - been skipping ever since. Unfortunately, for you, it’s skipping right in that naming and structuring part nobody listens to.
I’ll tell you the same thing she told me - get over it, boy. There’s lots in life that’s gonna suck a lot worse than that did.

I think we may be related. . . :*
Yea, we called her ‘Ol’ B-B-Butterfingers’… (there’s that skip again)… lol
