I have some concert videos in my library, don’t expect them to be recognized by any database. I have a ‘Music Videos’ library, much of which is commercially released files which show up perfect in Plex (Stop Making Sense, Adele @ Royal Albert Hall, Lots of Classic Albums series, etc.).
They are all in the same folder, one file per show. I can play them fine with VLC or whatever. I can also play the one show fine from Plex (for whatever reason it chose the 2017 file to be the one it shows in my library).
For some reason, Plex groups all of my one-off concert videos into one item. Each file is named YYYY-MM-DD.
I figured it out. On the one file that contained all of the files per the picture in my original post, I selected the menu on that file and there was some sort of ‘split items’ option. I don’t see the exact menu item anymore as the files are all now their own library items, which is of course what I wanted…
Curious as to why it grouped them in the first place given that the file names have nothing in common aside from starting with YYYY-MM-DD…
Was M:\ or M:\Music videos the directory added to the library set up? were there other directories added?
Not positive but if it was M:\ then I can see it thinking everything in a sub folder was different versions of the same movie . like if one puts two versions of say Iron Man in a single subfolder it will merge them.
