Is there a way to add video descriptions in a file like coverart, poster, background, etc. The thing is that in case something crashes I might have to set all descriptions again if doing it from the app interface so having a file i.e. description.txt in the movie folder might be a conveniente way

For example  
my video file/  
my vide file.mp4  
cover.jpg  
background.jpg  
description.txt

You can use an editor to enter all kinds of tags in the media file itself – and tell Plex to prefer embedded metadata. That’ll obviously only make sense if you have files that aren’t listed in the online repositories used by Plex.
