How to create a mixed mp4/mp3 library with no metadata?

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I have a library where it is a collection of radioshows (mp3) and sometimes there were recordeded (mp4) radioshows also. These are all in folders like this:

Source \

\videos\

\vidname.mp4

\audio\

\audioname.mp3

\other\

\othernames.mp4

with some subfolders within the folders.

I really want effectively th is whole structure folder to appear on plex - or at the very least, have a way to have both the MP3 and MP4 files underlying this folder in one place, as it is truly one collection that I’ve put together over the years.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to structure this? Other video library doesn’t seem to work. Nor does TV shows.

Please any ideas?

It can’t be done.

Your root issue is that you have 2 different types of media. You have sound (mp3) and video files (mp4). Plex sees those as 2 massively different types of media (which they are). I would convert your video files (as they are primarily just audio files with extra video) to mp3 files and then merge that into the mp3 library. You can keep the video files separately if they contain something useful.
