Hi, i have got my home videos:

/dance/hiphop/title_that_should_be_displayed_unique_text_A.mkv
/dance/hiphop/title_that_should_be_displayed_unique_text_B.mkv

/dance/salsa/title_that_should_be_displayed_unique_text_A.mkv
/dance/salsa/title_that_should_be_displayed_unique_text_b.mkv

I read the the topic naming home media seris, but is not good to see only Espidode numbers…

How can i get the structure Dance(folder) -hiphop(folder)-filename
-salsa(folder)-filename

Thx

Plex ignores the title so you would need to edit each one and add the titles

Note: Currently, the "shows" will only be named as "Episode 1" etc. Any additional information included in the filename (like "Getting Ready") is currently ignored.

They ‘can’ be placed into a TV Show Library providing they are named and structured like a TV Show - they will require manual editing, but they will display just like a TV Show.

…Season 01
…Home Vids October - S01E01 - Our New Puppy Sasquach.XXX

When editing don’t forget the date… then they’ll display in order right from On Deck.

Howdy.
Pretty new to PMS and need advice about how to name some of my home media.
I need to organize my son’s hockey game videos in a way plex can recognize. Each game consists of up to 70 short HD clips. How would I name all the files for each game and structure the file system for multiple games in a season?

Thanks in advance.
