Is it possible to not have the sub folders?
If so, how to set it up like that.
Thank you
I have done that but I want a everything in that folder, no subfolders.
Anyway?
Thanks

Ah, you mean for Movie recordings, not shows?
Let me look at my Movie DVR folder… Oh, it creates a folder for every single movie recorded, with the name (and year in parenthesis) of the folder the same as the movie itself.
This is the recommended way (by forum goers here) to organize your media, but I don’t use it for my Movies in general. I prefer a flat structure, with most movies dumped into one folder and sub-folders only for organization, such as for movie collections Lord of the Rings).
Since anything recorded by the DVR is probably infested with commercials, watermarks, or flat-out bad quality, I keep the recordings in a separate Movies - DVR folder than my Movies folder, and then I ignore how it is stored and/or organized.
I see why the OP would want it all flat in one folder with no sub-folders, but as far as I can tell there is no option to do so.
That is what I am ask. Anything DVR from OTA i juat want it to go into 1 folder the title will be all I need for search abity.

The only way i can make this work is to strip the Recordings files from Storage Recordings folder into another Folder ( call it what ever…). Like DVR. Using MKVToolNix to Multiplex to mkv file. That way all files will be in one folder. Name the files to Plex requirements.
When finished just add to Plex Library (Other Video) probably best.
I just want plex to store in one folder. Should be a setting but I guess not.
Ah, a manual process. I suppose you could make a script that runs continually on a computer that looks for any “* . *” file in all sub folders, relocates the file to a root somewhere outside this folder (record to DVR-TEMP and move to DVR, have Plex index DVR), and delete the now empty folder.
But this would be up to the user, not a Plex option. Heck, you can’t even use Plex’s post-record script (like I do for my recordings) since the script must pass the file BACK to Plex to eventually store as usual. So the script would have to be scheduled and check periodically on its own.
