I’ve tried exactly that. Took them out of the folder while keeping the original naming intact. e.g.: “Star Trek - TOS, Star Trek - Voyager etc.”
I even did the “PLEX Dance” every time after I deleted or before I added something, to no avail. I always ended up with mixed shows.
Voyager was recognized as Picard, TOS was recognized as Voyager, DS9 was recognized as TOS and so on. It simply didn’t work when it had the initial “Star Trek” as beginning of a folder name. A single show was always recognized/indexed properly but as soon as I added a second show, things became weird.
What finally fixed it for me and works totally fine, was creating a subfolder called “Star Trek” and within that, subfolders with just the name of the show, without “Star Trek”. Now Plex properly indexes every single show without any errors or mixing.
