If you are creating “collection”-type subfolders, you need to adhere more closely to the recommended naming style with its contents. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/)  
Ideally, you create subfolders for every movie within the “collection” subfolder.
